Pass the paper, please.
You could let your fabric runner and placemats take on your messiest meals (looking at you, ribs, spaghetti, and crab legs). Or you can pull out these farmers market–inspired table settings. They’re wrapping paper-worthy—literally: you can actually use them to wrap gifts. Plus, they’re fashioned from recycled paper, so you can feel better about tossing them when the last plate leaves the table.

I can't wait for Thanksgiving.
Casting about for a new way to decorate the Thanksgiving table, I've created a collection of large expressive pumpkins, misshapen and filled with character. I knew I wanted to use them on the holiday dinner table, with blue linen napkins. When I saw this paper runner, I knew I'd found my perfect solution. Big white French farmhouse plates, polished silver, and votives blazing. It will be a smaller and a more beautiful feast this year.
Beautiful colors
These go with so many things. Colors are very pretty. No washing afterwards. Simply recycle. And they will not end up in the ocean for the next 5 centuries! We enjoy them.
Dressy and pretty
