When we moved and had our first garage sale I decided to sell our dishes. I loved my Crate & Barrel white dish set, but there were some things that had bothered me about them. They were special because they were gifts/new when we built/moved into our house...after time I knew that they weren't the "perfect" set for us (who am i kidding, for me!). The size of the plates threw me off, and they didn't even fit into our cabinets. All the white was great, but I found myself wishing for some more color. Despite the microwave safe labels, they came out pipping hot...oh, and we received mugs with the dish sets that we never used (because of the heat issue). BUT, they were super cute, and they found a great home with someone who doesn't have the cupboard issue
and they don't own a microwave. :)
So for now we've been using cheap Target melamine plates. It doesn't bother me at all. But one day I would love to own something that I absolutely love and could see us using for years until our kids find them super tacky one day. :) I have a ton of the white
Anthropolgie bowls that I LOVE. I'd like to find smaller sized dinner plates (helps so much with keeping on top of serving sizes), a colorful salad plate, and some fun and colorful glasses. These are some options that I
love from Anthropologie. I think it could all go together splendidly...despite the outrageous accumulative price tag! (at least i already have the bowls, right?)
2 peeps:
love your anthro bowls... and hear you on the dinner plates (you saw mine this weekend lol). :) have you ever tried this website: http://www.fishseddy.com/
they have lots of cute, random dinnerware/glassware... i've always wanted to order from them. they have great sales too.
To be honest...I just bought some white dinner plates from the $1 store! They go with whatever linens I want to use, and i pair them with different colored salad plates, etc. :)
