Paloma's Nest
I just paid a visit to Paloma's Nest. And I want this wood stationery. These most wonderful blocks. And this You Are Special Today plate.
My family growing up had a red You Are Special Today plate. And if it was your birthday or otherwise a significant day, you were served dinner on the red plate. My husband and I received one for our wedding and loved it. It even came with a special pen for recording the special days it was used on the back. But then it broke.
I'm digging the plate in off-white. Maybe it's time to re-start the tradition with my own kids.

I love the idea of the "You Are Special Plate" as a family tradition. I also love the simplicity of this one in particular.
BEAUTIFUL! Love the cards!
ohh I love those plates. It reminds me of this bowl my grandmother made that says Good Morning Vanessa on it, I eat my cereal out of it every morning :)
I love Paloma's Nest and I love the idea of a special plate. I also love her text tiles. She's make them to say anything and I think they'd be so cute for some sort of party favor. She's great to chat with about custom work. I love Etsy!
Gabrielle, small world. We had a red plate growing up too! (for birthdays, good report cards, piano recital, good swim meet, etc.) Last year my sister had one made for her and me and our other sister. My kids love the new (to them) tradition.
AHH! As if I didn't like you before...growing up we also had a red special plate!! My parents then passed on the tradition to each of us as we got married-with a gift of a red special plate!
love those. awesome wedding gifts. blogged boutthem a bit ago...
pleased to report, the winners of the backstage broadway @ grease experience are donating over $600 to the nie nie fund! every little bit helps and the cast is thrilled to be a part of it all!
My mom had a red "you are special plate, too". i couldn't find one in stores when i wanted it, so I went to a paint your own pottery place and made a special birthday plate. it is so cute and has a free hand birthday cake with candles on it. I love it, but now I need to go make a you are special today plate because i want one i can use for special days other than birthdays!
I love the red special plate. I grew up with one too and my grandma gave my husband and I one when we got married. It doesn't have that many entries on the back yet, but I am hopeful it will be filled with loving memories someday. Thanks for all of your great inspiration, it makes me excited to be a mom someday.
