mk over at cursive sent over these gorgeous trays by french designer frederique morrell. morrell tracks down vintage needlepoint designs and laminates them to make lunchboxes, keyrings, covered journals and my favorite- trays. they're a really unique gift idea and, if nothing else, are wonderful to look at. i've always loved needlepoint and this is a fun way to have it at the table without worrying about spills or water damage. the trays come in large ($90), medium ($65) and small ($35) and are available directly through cursive nyc (646-602-3806).
