so southern : so momma

i've recently learned...that setting place cards at the table is very southern...raised in the south...it would make sense i suppose that i thought everyone did it! well it explains why my southern born, raised, living momma always decks out her table for dinner complete with place cards...even on no "special" occasion!

they, of course, are no ordinary place cards...they are ones she makes! here are the current ones...

she made the candle with cinnamon sticks, a skinny cut of burlap, a bit of paper for the name and a small piece of vintage brown transferware! aren't they precious! and mom doesn't stop at the place cards...her chair toppers are made of burlap pipped in a green dupioni silk...so very fall...and quite impressive...she's just that good!
