We use placemats a lot in our home, mostly in the kitchen, but sometimes in the dining room too. I have a few different sets that I like to switch out depending on the ocassion or the time of year. We enjoy our small family meals together and our big family gatherings too - and I like having little extra things that add fun extra style to the table. I especially love these handmade batik fabric placemats for their bright colors and their unique flair. 

The handmade placemats are made of 100% cotton and are sold as a set of 4. You can choose from 10 cool colors and patterns. They’re handcrafted in the USA and are naturally colored using flowers, veggies, and berries. They’re not just a great gift for your own home, but would really make quite a thoughtful housewarming gift for someone special. Because these custom kitchen accessories are sure to add a special touch to any table setting.

I honestly hadn’t been thinking of Easter right now. Yes I see the displays in the store and our online store of course - but at a personal level I am mostly just trying tackle one week at a time. So thinking of anything going on in April seems far away indeed. But the family calls have begun to discuss who will be traveling where for the holiday and suddenly the holiday seems to be around the corner. The funny thing is I haven’t a clue what I’ll be cooking this weekend but I’m already planning an April menu.

I really love our family get-togethers Sure there’s the usual craziness that goes on and a relative or two that might drive me a bit insane, but it rarely gets to me like it used to. Now I simply appreciate the precious time together and try to appreciate each person’s individual “quirkiness” instead. I find I am a lot less stressed that way & really get to enjoy the day. I truly hope the same is true for you!
