La Plates GIVEAWAY!!


I am SO thrilled to announce that the FABULOUS La Plates is debuting their pink and green line just in time for Mother's Day and summer!

I have been a La Plates fan since I was contacted by the owner, L, last summer. She and I share so much in common: she was a Kappa who LOVES Sea Island so much she even got married there! Lara started La Plates and it has just taken off. The plates and accessories are all available online, but also by special order at wonderful stores around the country (Madison in HPV for one!). La Plates are custom made in the USA (support American made!!!), BPA-free and dishwasher safe. There are LOADS and LOADS of combination you can choose from online and just about every design on the site can be created to match your mood and home. However, while I adore the red lobsters and blue zebra I have to say the new pink and green collection holds the key to my heart. Lara has provided us with a sneak peak of the pink and green collection (it should be up on the website later this week) so enjoy all the eye candy mixed in with the ever-so-important 411!


A wonderful thing about La Plates is that they are a company that cares and gives back. La Plates donates a percentage of all sales to charity. If you use the code BAG10 at checkout you will not only receive 10% off your purchase but 10% will also go to Ovarian Cancer ( http://www.ovarian-cancer.org/the-bag-event.htm) Aren't all these options just too, too cute?

If you order by April 24th your Mother's Day order is guaranteed to arrive with time to spare!


La Plates has a wonderful collection of platters too. These would be wonderful for outdoor entertaining and just think you will have class, but no mess at the end of the day. Throw your plates and the platter in the dishwasher and hit the hay!

Now, Lara has so graciously offered a Monograms and Manicures reader the chance to win TWO CUSTOM plates! That means you can win any of the above designs with a name OR monogram, but if pink and green is not your thing you are able to win something that you fancy! Leave a comment letting Lara and I what you very favorite La Plates design is. What pattern would you select and what colors would you order it in? All comments MUST include your La Plate of choice to be entered into the giveaway. Please leave your comment by 1AM EST on Friday, April 24th, 2009.

Remember, if you find anything you MUST own while browsing the site (you are bound to do so!) use the code BAG10 to receive 10% off your order and also donate 10% to charity. Place your order my Friday, April 24th to receive it in time for Mother's Day. Make mother's life easier by buying cute, festive, personalized dishwasher safe plates this year!!

ooo thank you for posting about this site! I love the gingham plate-- exactly as it appears on the site. My wedding colors will be black and white with splashes of bright, exciting colors, and I think this would be adorable near the guest book table or on another table full of candles and pictures of me and my beau. I'd love to incorporate it into the wedding! Thanks so much! :)

I love the gingham and the stripes. Something navy and green would be perfect for my sone!

AEO said...

I would do the squares plate with a navy background and a hot pink monogram. Too cute! I also adore the anchors!! It would look fantastic with a pink or white monogram!

If I had kids though, I would do the pink and green alligator for my daughter and the lobster for my son. Oh so darling!!

Chasity M said...

I would definitely choose the Squares plate in green with my monogram in red. I could use it year round or for Christmas.

How very cool that they donate 10% to charity!

Katy said...

Golly. They are all so cute. I don't think Clay would enjoy eating off a pink plate, so I would probably get our wedding monogram on the white/blue stripes plate that he would go for it.

The Hayden Family said...

What a simply mahhhvelous giveaway! Perfect for patio weather! My fave plate is the blue paisley with an orange monogram. The blue would look fabulous with all my antique blue and white china. Those plates are simply divine!

Imjustagirl said...

I would love the pink and green polka dot with my neices name! SHe would think it was the greatest thing.

Barefoot in the Park said...

This might be one of the best giveaways ever!! I heart these plates!! I LOVE LOVE the green and pink polka dot and the pink large graphic design on your blog. But from their site I also LOVE the pink with white dots and a green monogram as well as the black and white gingham with a pink monogram!! Thanks for hosting!

Crystal said...

I adore these plates! I love the pink and green polka dots. My daughter is 19 months old and I'm teaching her the ways of divahood and preppiness! This would be THE perfect plate for her. She already knows what is pretty and she knows when she is pretty! In her words, she says "pitty gull!" (pretty girl) She would love this plate and I would love for her to have one.

I really, really hope we win this! Thanks Hopsy!

micaela6955/Michele P. said...

such cute plates! Actually, after looking at them all, I am loving the new pink and green line for my 7 yr old. She is a girly girl, and I think the pink/green dots with her name, and the pink & green stipes with her monogram would be fitting for my little princess and make her feel special as she eats off her "own" plates. What a cute idea!

Marge said...

What a great site! Love the plates! I would love the Knots plate in Navy Blue w/our monogram in script!

Mrs. M said...

These are adorable! I really like the paisley! Maybe purple paisley with black lettering!

Preppy Mama said...

I love these plates!! I personally love the pink and green collection, but I think I would have to choose from the nautical collection for my boys. I love the nautical anchors (green & navy) and the nautical crabs (navy & lt blue).
Thanks!

suburban prep said...

what a beautiful way for a keepsake these plates are.
The plate would be a wonderful Mother's Day gift.
I like the Stripe plate with the stripes in navy in the diagonal direction. I love the circle monogram in the Red color.
These are such a beautiful giveaway.
Thank you Hopsy.

Jennie said...

What a wonderful giveaway, my mother would love a set of these plates. I think I would choose the paisley plate in green, with a single "L" monogram, in hot pink! I would love to paint her matching glassware and placemats to match! So girly and fun, thanks for this giveaway!

I'm Just Beachy said...

I think I would go with a turquoise plate with an american font that reads "seaside". What a great giveaway! These are great!

Ashley said...

I am in LOVE with the nautical collection- living in FL and having a house in the Cayman Islands. I think I would have to get two of those- crabs and whales for my two little ones. They would LOVE them! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

tlm said...

I like the green houndstooth and I would put my mom's initials on. She would love this!

Emily said...

How fun! I love the turquoise gingham with red script monogram - perfect for a picnic!

DMLD said...

I have to say that with all the poolside entertaining hubby and I do all summer, the platters would come in very handy. I love the stripe and the gingham designs. Actually, I love them all.

I would choose the light blue or turquoise with yellow, as those are the two main colors around the pool area. And of course the monogram would have to be the initials of both hubby and I.

Marcie said...

I love the green squares pattern with the navy monogram! Fun giveaway!!!

The Pink Tutu said...

Oh how fabulous! I love the paisley and I would do it pink with a green monogram. Fun fun!

Momofgirls said...

Happy Dash said...

Oh I love these - I actually got a set of 6 for a wedding shower in the solid. Love them. Would love to have more!

I am particularly loving the pink and green collection with the maze and pink monogram - next to the "Hopsy" plate ... all are great though!

alex said...

i love love love the la plates platter - i would love to get that with a pink and green trim! or maybe something in navy - navy and pink is so very lilly to me!

The Monogrammed Sailor said...

Although I adore the anchors, I think I would go with the Paisley with a turquoise background and a hot pink inital!!

JGIWC said...

The pink and great elephants with a traditional scripted monogram, absolutely! Kappa kisses and thanks!

The Cape House said...

I always learn about the greatest shops through you! I think I would order the blue vertical stripes with the family's last name in red for the Cape House.

Melissa said...

I love pink and green together. All these plates are adorable! I would have to go with the houndstooth pink and green.

Mrs. N said...

Ooooh, what a great giveaway! :) I would do the paisley plate with a turquoise monogram! Absolutely adorable! I think I need a set for outdoor entertaining at the house, one for tailgating, and the list goes on and on! I LOVE the designs! Thank you for posting! :)

Marla said...

I think the Dots are my fav...these would be so cute for the kids (one pink and one blue!) this summer while we do a little dining al fresco!

Thanks Hopsy...I love this one!

KAG said...

Great giveaway Hopsy! I would do the "Nautical Plate" - the red lobsters on sky blue. With the name of our cabin in Maine. So cute - love this brand. xoxo KAG

Lulu and Daisy said...

Great give-away!! I love the pink with alligators and the pink and white houndstooth with full monogram. Cute!

Princess Freckles said...

Oh Hopsy, this is a great giveaway!!! I'd have to go with the lobster plate with my soon to be married monogram in either white or navy. We bought an outdoor table from the Pottery barn outlet last Fall with a lobster on it. It would be a perfect match!

MellyLil said...

I absolutely love La Plates! I've never had a monogrammed plate before but always wanted one. It would be the perfect Mothers Day gift for my wonderful mother. Her favorite colors are blue and green, and so although I adore the pink and green line, I would do an oval platter like the one they made for Ina Garten, but I would choose light green greek key on a white background with a light blue "G" initial in Caslon script. It would be perfect for summer outdoor entertaining because it would match our outdoor cushions, which are reversible to be either a blue/green print or a pink/green print. Thank you for sharing La Plates! I hope to host an e-party one day - I think it's such a fabulous idea!! Thank you Hopsy, and have a wonderful week!

parkaveprincess said...

BLC :o said...

Oh la la! Thanks Hopsy and Lara!!! Count me in ... and I am in stitches over the "clean plate club" plate. Xoxo-BLC

Pink Maple said...

You always have the best giveaways and this one is no exception!

My favorite would be the paisley plate in black and white with my first initial "A" in pink (of course!).

Lauren said...

Bernadette said...
