Summer Time = Party Time

A great way to welcome loved ones or just to set the cheerful, relaxed mood of the event is to arrange big wooden signs on your porch or any outdoor area.

Few things in the collection are as versatile as these DIY-chic reversible paper chains!

One of the most traditional and beautiful ways to use the paper chains is to string them between trees above your guests' heads. Adding ropes of lights will create an almost magical effect.

Another option is to hang them vertically-they'll look great when a breeze blows!

And who even says paper chains need to be hung? Use them in an altogether different way by wrapping them around candles, jars of utensils, cups, or whatever else you can think of!

The skeins of twine East of India carries can also be used to create a multitude of unique and special decorations.

Hanging lights and paper chains is great, but why not also create a funky, original garland that your guests will look up at in awe?

For a simple yet incredibly classic look, loop twine around some sand dollars. After all, isn't summer all about taking it easy?

Twine can be used for so much more than just hanging decorations. It can also enhance a table setting in many different ways!

Wrap a few pieces around the rim of a mason jar candle, tie a bow, and voila: a gorgeous, functional centerpiece. You could also fill the jars with utensils or even food or drinks-get creative!

Go with a nautical theme and use blue napkins and lifesavers to present utensils in an adorable and tasty way!

You could also do a fun twist on  napkins and replace them with bandanas! After the meal they can be used as an accessory or even for three-legged races and other games!

Fore a less rustic and more elegant effect, use ribbon with an uplifting message instead of twine!



Items E4060 - E4086

Our porcelain letters are a great way to add a personal touch to your event. Tie them to twine-wrapped napkins to mark each guest's place with their initials. 

Each comes with its own piece of twine, so you can also attach them to wine glass stems or almost anything else you can think of!

You could also string them on twine to mark different areas, such as the bar or a game station!
Item E4148

Encourage guests to relax and enjoy with these sweet plates.
Item E8003
Item E2063
Item E8002

While mugs might not be the first thing you'd think to have at a summer party, the messages on these ones are as light and cheerful as the season itself.

Create centerpieces by filling mugs with beautiful summer flowers, maybe even from your own garden if you're going for a natural, home-grown look. (The books are optional, but why not pile up some great beach reads and let people borrow the ones they find interesting!)

Make microwaveable mug pies so your guests can walk around and socialize while enjoying a delicious summer treat!

Have a great party and remember to relax and enjoy spending this wonderful season with friends and family!

Take This Key...


This past week one of our sales associates shared a heartwarming (and clever) story about a recent visit with one of her customers!


"When we came to the “Key to My Heart Key,” she said I will definitely be needing more of those! She told me that a gentleman came in and bought two of these from her, not thinking anything of it. The following week he came back in wearing the key around his neck: he used this key to propose to his wife! Of course she said yes and now they both wear these key’s around their neck! I thought this was so creative and sweet!"
