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!!
ReplyDeleteyou are very classy!
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThose are definitely classy :) And if you're not a classy lady, then I don't know who is
ReplyDeleteHi, 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!
ReplyDeletekaren - 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!
