Mind Your Manners!
Feeling like an Emily Post dreamer in a Simon Cowell world? It’s time to bring etiquette back – let lovelymanners show you how with their simple, colorful placemat collections, that come complete with manner advice.
Why We Love It!
Though they evolved as reminders for founder Jill Ciporin’s children, these fetching placemats are by no means just for the kids. Tykes may need reminders to say please and thank you when passing dishes, but you may catch yourself sneaking a reassuring peek at the cheatsheet for placement of glassware, bread plates, and that pesky salad fork.
A Family Affair
Southern mom and daughter team Audie and Jill are bringing a bit more civility into the world, one table setting at a time. Having gone from television journalism and corporate marketing to certification by the Emily Post Institute, the Ciporin’s careers (and the company it birthed) reflects both real-world savvy and old world charm.
True Refinement
Throw these mats away? Why, we would never be so gauche. They’re made with tree- and pulp-free synthetic waterproof paper: wipe them down and put them back to work for another genteel meal.
Price Check
The cute and colorful mats cost $29.95 for a set of six, available online here.
