Personalized Platter

Personalized Family Platter - Arkansas Razorbacks


This adorable serving platter is available at Blue Bird Gift Company on Etsy for $40 - and that includes personalization!  What is it about the South - we put our names on everything!  I don't think I've ever seen a monogram I didn't love.

End of Summer Sales!





Although tailgating is a quintessential fall activity, end of summer clearance sales can be great opportunities to stock up on supplies. 

Next time you're at Target, Home Depot, Walmart, etc., check out their summer clearance sales - I can almost guarantee you'll find great deals on grills, outdoor folding chairs, solar lanterns, coolers, string lights, outdoor serving platters and pitchers, and more!
