Those are always exciting words, aren't they? They conjure up thoughts of positive change, ambition, goal-setting and the anticipation of something new on the horizon. Well, I have decided something. No, I'm not giving up my French Press! Am I crazy?! But brace yourselves, because this decision is by no means ambitious or even very anitcipatory. No, I have decided that...
my new set of dishes will be white or an off-white!
Not the model of amibition you were looking for, huh? Hm. I know.
Right now our dishes are of the melamine variety because we wanted the boys to be able to set and clear the table, and load the dishwasher without breaking the dishes. Novel idea, huh? Too many of our old dishes were broken accidentally so I went to Target and picked up some inexpensive melamine ones. They are attractive and they work for us right now, which is perfect. But a few years down the road when we graduate to "real" dishes once again, I'm getting white. They will be so versatile and I can pair so many other things with them. I went window shopping for some coffee mugs I might use. Thought I'd share my findings.
Cute for summertime use, huh? Having coffee or tea with a friend?
I love the print and colors on this set.
I like the green color and the pottery look of this one.
Nice for a winter table!
This one if Fiestaware. I like the shape of it and all the versatility in color Fiestaware offers.
I'm sure they won't let me break up the set (!) but I love the polka dots! Cute for Valentine's Day, maybe.
The crochet pattern on this one is beautiful!
So many beautiful dishes out there and so little time to window shop them all. *sigh* Hope you enjoyed this little browse through my world of dish-love. What are some of your favorite ways to dress up your table?

I love the stacking cups from Pier 1! I have looked at them several times! I love colourful mugs! Angie xo
ReplyDeleteI know! The stacking cups are so neat. I'm afraid I could end up with sets of them if I had an endless supply of cash...
DeleteYes, white has entered my mind, too, for our next set. My nice, brown, square ones are cracking already. White is definitely versatile, and it has a classy look, while still being comfortable.
