I finally broke down and bought some new dishes. Not that my old dishes were in really bad shape but some were chipped and had a few cracks. I usually just get dishes in a solid color or with some kind of nice border for my every day dishes. This time I decided to splurge and get a new design that goes with my black and cream kitchen. I don't know, they might be too fancy for me to use everyday.
I got a place setting for 8 since it is only the hubby and I now. I got these online from Bed Bath and Beyond. I like that you can buy them individual in sets of 4. I don't ever need the mugs that usually come with place sets.
I love the sunflower, bee and butterfly designs on the dishes. This is the first time I have had square dishes. I like how the salad plate has a different background color.
The soup/salad bowls are quite large. I like to use these for salad only since they aren't quite deep enough for me to use them for soup.
That is why I got the ice cream bowls. They are smaller around but much deeper. I like how they come with 2 black and 2 white in the set.
I will start using these this weekend. I still need to get them washed. I can't wait to use them.

DeleteLove the bees and sunflowers - I see the dinnerware working well in summer and fall decor
ReplyDeleteThank you. It matches my kitchen quite well.
DeleteI love the square dishes. It is a very prety set and it will make every meal so special.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Last night my husband said he had a bug on his plate. I told him it was only a bee. It does kind of make you look twice when you are eating.
DeleteBeautiful dishes - I'd use them all the time. Sunflowers are so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have been using them everyday now.
DeleteSunflowers and bees are so summery. I like that the bowls and salad plates are different colours. Does the pattern have a name or maker?
