Mistletoe Hand-Beaded Placemat by Joanna Buchanan
The Mistletoe Hand-Beaded Placemat by Joanna Buchanan turns the surface beneath the plate into part of the Christmas decoration. Glass beads worked over a cotton backing create a 15-inch round mistletoe motif that catches candlelight and gives simple dinnerware an immediate seasonal frame. Hand beaded in India, each placemat carries the small irregularities inherent to work completed by hand, which keeps the surface from feeling mechanically perfect. The strongest effect comes when the pieces above it are restrained: white porcelain, clear glass, and a simple napkin allow the beadwork to provide the ornament while the rest of the table remains useful and calm.
“At Christmas, I would rather embellish the table than crowd it. A beaded placemat beneath a plain white plate gives you all the mistletoe and sparkle you need at each place, leaving the center of the table free for food, candles, and conversation.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage
Joanna Buchanan brings a fashion-trained eye to tabletop, seasonal decoration, and home accessories. After two decades in fashion retail, her approach has been shaped by a Hong Kong childhood, years in Europe, travel through India, and a family tradition of holiday decorating rooted in vintage ornaments from the English countryside. Color, graphic pattern, natural motifs, and a collected sense of occasion run through the collection.
