Talavera Table Numbers

This past weekend, Mr. Tortolito and I went on a spontaneous trip to Rosarito when we realized that we still did not have table numbers for our wedding...next week(!!) We took this as one more opportunity to incorporate talavera in our wedding details. Why did we not think of this a few months ago when we went to Rosarito to pick up our talavera escort tiles?! Oh well, it cost us another trip across but border but it was well worth it.


In an attempt to beat the traffic in Tijuana and border-crossing crowd, we left bright and early at 5am and got to Rosarito just in time for the shops that sell Mexican curios to open. We found a variety of tiles with numbers, which people would usually use to display their home address more decoratively. That's not what we're using them for, though!



These little guys will be gracing each of our reception tables and helping guests find their seats. We got enough for tables 1 through 19. I'm pretty sure that after the wedding is over, Mr. Tortolito and I will have collected enough of talavera items to open up our own little shop.

What are you using for table numbers?
