America the Beautiful Story

In partnership with America250 and artist Elizabeth Foster, we’re proud to present the America the Beautiful Story, created to celebrate 250 years of American heritage. Each piece in this story reflects Hester & Cook’s signature craftsmanship and embodies the spirit of the America250 mission—honoring the tradition of gathering around the table in celebration of 250 years of independence, creativity, and community. Timeless motifs and a classic red, white, and blue palette come together for a story that salutes all that makes America beautiful.

Set table with Hydrangeas, Die-cut Heirloom Blue Bow Placemats, table accents and place cards, vintage flatware, a cake and baby gift on the Hydrangea Runner.

About Hester & Cook

Artist-Designed Tablescapes

Hester & Cook started in the home basement of husband and wife team Robbie and Angie Hester Cook. What began as Robbie’s inspired idea of crafting a vintage door knob into a bottle stopper soon became the company’s first product, Knobstoppers. From there the company rapidly grew- offering everything from hand-crafted chandeliers to #2 pencils. Today we are best known for our paper tabletop products designed to help elevate dining experiences.
