Setting a Proper Table - The Butler's Stick

The Butler's Stick is a tool of the highly trained professional. It is a tool that allows you to be certain your table is set accurately. Now ask yourself...what house is complete without a Butler's Stick?

A great resource and instruction of how to set a proper table can be found here. This is also a great resource for the proper way to set a table, even without a Butler's Stick. The McPherson School is, without a doubt, a resource for you when you want to ensure your table is set with the fork in the right position (don't you just hate it when you see one of the wedding photography sites and the spoon and fork are reversed? ugh!)

Video for use of the Butler's Stick can be seen here.

And now, you can see the Butler Stick at Fancy That's Showroom and Shoppe! Simply ask and we can show you the Butler's Stick, how to use one, and where to get one.

Sucre Enveloppe - wrapped sugar cubes

OK, you can all say it aloud.....'how adorable are these?' :)

We think so as well. In France, they are called sucre enveloppe. Wrapped Sugar Cubes. Yes, we now carry them in our Shoppe. Individually wrapped sugar cubes imported from France. When you open the cute little package, there are two cubes for your enjoyment. If you are not near our Shoppe in Walpole, MA but would like some of these adorable cubes, ring us toll free 1-888-32-32-TEA and we will take your order! We can ship to any of the lower 48 states in the USA.

Aren't they just the perfect sugar cubes for tea? :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Little Lemon Ladies, Gingerbread Gents, Shortbread Soldiers

Fresh to the shores of the USA from England are Little Lemon Ladies! These lemon cookies have been so hard to find in the USA for years. Now, they are available at Fancy That's Shoppe. Hand baked with butter according to an old English recipe, these cookies have no artificial colors or preservatives. Zesty lemon cookies that love to smile! Also available are Little Lemon Ladies' mates: Gingerbread Gentlemen and Shortbread Soldiers.

Tea Pots and Round Napkins

So there we were, with our new display rack that we got from IHR/Boston International, showing off the fine quality cocktail napkins, luncheon napkins and round napkins (rondos) (all from IHR/Boston International), and at the top of the rack, was a pole....just a plain pole. Two days of obsessing over the plain pole brought the most incredible brainstorm....put something on top! (Super Glue makes magic happen! :) ) So, a two cup tea pot (we sell these two cup tea pots in our Shoppe) now adorns the top of the display rack, with a cute little pink bow! How sweet is THAT?

Speaking of round napkins...called rondos....tomorrow a package of beautiful round napkins (rondos) begin their way from Poland to our Shoppe in Walpole, Masachusetts. Yes, you read that right! Polish Round Napkins. Wait until you see the patterns...incredible even if we say so ourselves! So stay tuned! We will be putting images up on Facebook and here.

Rondos...fan shapped when in their package....round napkins when opened (can be used as placemats, elegant lapkins, or even under centerpieces!) from Poland are soon to arrive at Fancy That's Shoppe!

Tea Pots and Round Napkins....does life get any better? Really? (grin)
