Dinner Plate$39
A tray is much like an area rug, it defines a space, while showcasing your favorite items. It anchors smaller accessories, so that they will not merely float around in a huge room! I couldn't resist putting the top picture on this page, it's so elegant. So classic. I think even the Contemporary/Mod movement, that designers are leaning towards, have incorporated "mother's old silver" into rooms. Recently, I went to New Orleans, while there, I noticed that the city has an unstoppable style to it. The city is far from trendy/somehow not dated at all, they weave in a nice mix of old and new....and do it, quite tastefully, I might add! In these tough economic times, money won't allow us to start all over with a sort of "rooms to go" spending spree. It's time to pull out the old, and purchase the timeless and classics that are out there-looks that are here to stay, looks that are not "disposable". This silver footed tray is nothing short of a future heirloom! It's not only a great wedding gift it's a timeless piece that will not end up in your child's garage sale in the next 25 years! Today is a new day, our lives are busy, company drops in unannounced. Don't be like your mother, and only pull out the silver when company is coming over....Place this on your side board, with your decanters, your crystal, your Juliska, today....Show your unstoppable style!,
LISTEN UP YOUNG BRIDES......I've only been married for 10 years, and I regret so much taking back some of the useful items I got as a young 23 yr old bride! STUPID STUPID..should have listened to my mom! Oh, how I need more than 2 items like this! I cant tell you how many times, I have needed some very basic essential items for entertaining, only to show up short when I look for these items in my cupboard. I thought that if I couldn't put it out, show it off, or decorate with it I didn't need it. I thought if I had received one bowl, that I didn't need 2. I thought that everything had to match in categories (pottery, Annie Glass, Crystal or Silver) ....And stupid me, thought that I was gonna live in that tiny house forever. Well, turns out, that some of my most favorite wedding gifts are items that are just basic. Basic enough to match a friends' decor if I needed to bring something to a pot-luck dinner. They would be something I could dress up or dress down. Throw a fruit salad in this, use it for a dip, or chips....or make banana pudding in it. Its' like owning a basic black dress..you WILL NEED IT AND IT WILL never let you down.
There is a reason why we are seeing an upward trend of brides registering for Juliska. It's European feeling is practical, durable, yet chic! With the movement of homes styled a bit more contemporary, and mono-chromatic this canister set is sure to fit in with any ceramic tile, granite, or travertine surface. (and did I mention that you have every excuse to stock up on artificial sweeteners now that your neighborhood Starbucks is closing down?) This style of Juliska is the Jardins du Monde, our most popular collection.
Mother's Day is 4 days away! What a great gift to give your mom, a special aunt, or your God-mother. These hand blown carafes (styled after the famous JULISKA glass) would be such an elegant gift for the woman who has everything! Whether placed on a bedside for a guest who is visiting your home, or used to decant your night time glass of wine.....this quality gift would be an heirloom to pass down to generations! It's small enough to be used personally for mouth wash in a powder room with it's pretty dainty cup....Or, perfect for someone who is ill, who has to swallow meds on an hourly basis...Oh, I could just go on and on about the uses of this item!
These bubble vases are a must have if you love to entertain! Decorating a table has never been so simple and easy- these vases make flower arranging a possibility for anyone! Just fill the vases with water ( try colored water for a spring look)and place any tall stem flower in them for a pop of color! Here is a SEASONAL CHART FOR THE USE OF THESE VASES: Spring: Gerber daisies...along with some tall wispy bear grass--you can use any color of coordinating ribbon around the base of the vase! Summer: Lillies are bright, airy, and long lasting, they have tall stems, which you need to cut at a diagonal--they will last up to 2 weeks. With or without a ribbon, they are all you need near a sign in book for a summer wedding. In the Fall, we suggest tall sunflowers, wrapping the bases with black ribbon....In Winter, you can clip off a poinsettia, seal off the juices by simply burning the stem... pop in a few sprigs of maiden hair fern, cascading down the neck of the vase.....
them down a long table,alternating shapes or place one in the center of a round table. One alone, will be just the height and drama you need to create an easy, and inexpensive table scape! For a little added drama, sprinkle confetti, or place a color beneath the vase. The water will magnify what lies beneath it, adding to the color scheme you are trying to create. The picture on the left shows how just one vase, was all we needed for a non profit luncheon. The flower budget was $60.00. (think non-profit events, charity functions, prom decorations)
