I have never purchased fancy dishes before. We have been using the same simple inexpensive white set of dinnerware for many years and I suppose it hasn't been much of a priority of mine. After 16 years though I finally started thinking about nice dishes to use for holidays and family dinners. A couple months ago my Mom gave me the set of silverware that my Grandma chose in the early fifties when she got married. It's called White Orchid, it is beautiful... I was thrilled. This is what made me start thinking about it. I found 10 Mikasa Rosemead dinner plates on Ebay for a deal. I had 3 pieces of this pattern already so I decided to get them. They arrived in the mail this week. It will be fun to use them or will I be one of those people that never uses their nice dishes for fear of breaking them...I hope not.
Oh yeah, today I found this sweet vintage basket for $1.99 at the thrift shop. You can't beat that! ;)
I sure hope you are having a good weekend! ♥
can eating dinner get anymore prettier!

As of this moment, I am keeping my eyes open for this pattern. I think I have a piece at the store. Do you eventually want service for 10? I use and appreciate my good dishes everyday. I have another set too that I have only used twice. I hope you use these exquisite dishes often. We deserve to eat on beautiful dishes. It makes us prettier!

These are lovely plates. I would be one to keep them on display, if I had a place to display them. Or save them for special occasions.
ReplyDeleteOh I love a pattern that has shades of pink, blue and yellow or gold. Those are my favs! ♥
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is so lovely. I've never seen it before. Congratulations!

Bethany,
ReplyDeleteYour special dishes are beautiful - love them! They'll be perfect for any day selected to make a normal boring meal into something special for you and your family some evening to experience, along with candles; and to teach your children the lost art of etiquette. Wouldn't that be fun! Dress up, be a sophisticated character. Now that sounds like fun!
