This week’s find is this sweet set of place
cards. They are ceramic with lovely, delicate porcelain flowers in pink,
yellow, and blue. As with so many things I have uncovered, I never remember my
mother using these. That’s not to say that she didn’t, it’s just to say that I
don’t recall if she did.
What these have me wondering, though, is whether
or not people still use place cards? I can actually envision myself using
them, but I’m wondering what type of non-permanent marker would work on
ceramic. If any of you have any suggestions or ideas, I would appreciate
knowing.
To my great disadvantage, these are rather
small, only about 2½ inches wide. To my further disadvantage, my hands are
quite large, so I think it would be tricky for me to use these to write a name
longer than three or four letters. Still, I will not be deterred! You can
expect to see these at a table setting at some point in the future.
