May 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I was having a small dinner party the other day. As I was setting the table, I realized that I did not have placemats. I remember when I was growing up my mom had a variety of mats to choose from for the dinner table. But honestly, I don’t even remember seeing placemats on any [...]
