This placemat instantly reminded us of the sheets and security gates mentioned here recently. Does that make patterns of circles the new trend? We have no idea, but we like the look - it reminds us of a million little bubbles.

We just wish they made a bigger version we could use as a rug, as we never really use placemats, and therefore have no way of justifying the $90 price tag. And don't you think the little nubs would feel good on your feet?
