Our Picks ~ Designs by Beverly

We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July and enjoyed some great fun and great food alongside loved ones!  We certainly enjoyed the (slightly) milder weather here in Gainesville that gave us a chance to get outside and soak up some sun.

We realize we've brought you some features on new baby and children's items here at The Crystal Plate in a few previous blog posts, but we couldn't help but revisit the topic just because these new items are so incredibly adorable.  If you missed our last two posts you can check them out here and here.

Designs by Beverly does it again with this fun summery top complete with a picnic theme.  The bow on this top pins on, making it a breeze to wash.  The absence of the feminine bow would also rework this item in such a way that it could be worn by boys as well.

picnic theme

Remember the bee hive dress from one of our previous posts?  A similar design has now been added to this top for a slightly more casual look that's still sweet as honey.

Also from Designs by Bevelry are these handy and convenient, yet still stylish as ever, wet bags.  These bags feature a cloth outside and lined inside that seals in liquids.  These large pouches are perfect for bathing suits or shirts that suffered the fate of a grape juice spill.

Throw them in the washing machine and dryer afterwards for a quick and easy cleanup.

Have a wonderful weekend and make sure to stop by the blog next week for more featured items!

Our Gift Picks for the Groom

For the most part, items on a bride's registry are chosen by and for the bride.  Your fiance might care about your china pattern, but more than likely the only thing he cares about is the food that goes on that china.  Dishes, cooking utensils, bedding and towels are not likely to spike a great interest from him, but we've put together a list below of a few items that your guy will enjoy just as much as you do.

Not a bride to be yourself?  These are wonderful options for couples shower gifts or wedding gifts.

This copper beverage bucket and stand is a must-have for 

entertaining.  The bucket can also be used on its own depending

on the setting.

This beautiful mouth blown glass decanter set

from Juliska is sure to be a favorite among grooms.  Set includes 4 glasses.

This patterned silver ice bucket is the perfect

place for chilling a bottle of wine.  Include a bottle of your favorite vino for a

unique and complete gift.

The footed stand adds a nice twist to these 

pilsner glasses and dresses them up just enough.

If deer and ducks are featured, your groom just may

be interested in china after all.  This Spode Woodland line also

includes larger serving pieces as well.

Many more similar items can be found in our store, so come by and take a peak!
