Welcome to our Simple Holiday Gift Bag in which instead of doing a "gift guide", we do that AND give them away to our readers. All the info is below. Happy Holidays!
Gift: A Set of Folk Dinner Plates
Designer: Thomas Paul
Shop: The Curiosity Shoppe
City: San Francisco
Description: The Curiosity Shoppe's Derek and Lauren say, "We're saving a set of these folk-inspired melamine plates for our future home away from home (you know, the cozy log cabin in the woods we can't stop daydreaming about!) because we love how the patterns look like handmade paper cuts, which contrasts so nicely with the industrial, non-breakable quality of the melamine. What more could you ask for?"
