Have you seen the new Privet House for Target line yet? I had never heard of Privet House, but I was intrigued enough to look for them in my local Target. I was pleasantly surprised! On Friday, I picked up four of these wonderful placemats. I also couldn't resist the ceramic cheese plate. I was a little surprised to see though that it was Made in China.

I bought the wood pieces at Michael's and gave them a few coats of aqua paint. Then I took some profile shots of the boys. I printed them out on...
