Henceforth known as the world's most boring blog post.
I posted about my pretty awesome find of Royal Copenhagen knock-off plates back in 2009 when I originally nabbed the 'Blue Denmark' and 'Indies' plates, but I've been slowly collecting ever since. It helps me accommodate an ever-growing holiday dinner party while also ensuring that no tears are shed if a plate gets lost or broken. I am not limited to a particular pattern, I'm just limited to a rather populous color scheme.
Back in 2008 I had just moved to Pittsburgh and donated all my college dinnerware to a plate-less friend. I was accumulating this mix & match collection of blue and white plates in some naive attempt to feel more adult. No longer living near my family, no longer living with a roommate, starting over. Starting with new dinnerware is an easy enough place to begin. I had blue and white plates. I was classy.
I still am classy, goddamnit.

You are classy lady! And those plates are just too amazing! We have boring old white plates and I have been itching lately to shake it up..maybe pattern maybe color or maybe both...who knows!!!! Your collection is divine!!
you are very classy!
I just ditched all of my old stoneware for fiesta ware and I am hooked on their bright bold colors, eating never has been so good.
Those are gorgeous! Where do you find most of them?
I finally got rid of my plain clear dinner plates from Target, now that we're getting married and I have grownup things like a registry. The possibilities!
Those are definitely classy :) And if you're not a classy lady, then I don't know who is
Hi, just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your blog! I nominated you for a Liebster Award, which is just a fun way to connect with other bloggers. You answer a series of questions, then pass it on to blogs you read (a little chain letter-y, but in a networking way...). You can check out my post if you're interested:

My Garden Diaries - you could keep the white dinner plates and have brightly patterned bowls/dessert plates. That's basically the inverse of what I currently have!
karen - my last set of plates were knock-off fiestaware. They're sturdy buggers!
Rebe- the plates have come from TJ Maxx/Marshall's, The Christmas Tree Shoppes, and Pier 1 (via Goodwill). We're talking less than $4 a plate here, so just the usual suspects ;)
missris- just so long as they're not so fancy, you can never use them. I never understood that idea, especially considering the infrequency with which modern families hold fancy dinners.
Rooth- Thanks! Although, you've never heard me speak, and I actually talk like a sailor ;)
Laura D - Thanks!
