Pretty Plates

Pretty plates instantly elevate a simple table setting, and even tell a story – whether you find gorgeous hand painted bowls on a trip to Portugal, unearth a vintage collection at an antique shop, or discover an amazing new brand online. I love to fill our home with meaningful pieces we will enjoy and cherish for many years to come.

Two years ago, I hosted a special dinner party for my husband’s birthday, and I ordered these dinner plates and these dessert plates for the occasion. I filled small cobalt blue pitchers with marigold and fuchsia tulips and wildflowers, and finished the table with twinkling votives, raffia placemats, linen napkins, and a block print tablecloth. We still hold dear the memory of that evening, and every time we use those dishes are reminded of an incredible celebration. 

As I continue to curate our collection of dinnerware, I always I have eye out for unique yet timeless designs. Here are a few that I have on my wish list!
