Dish Dash

I have a sickness (yes...it's an illness!) for good dishes. Funky prints. Unusually purposed ones (mustard jar? doesn't it come in a bottle?) and as I find new ones, I thought this might be the best place to give you a glimpse into my cabinets!

Pinzon Tomato 11-Inch Assorted Dinner Plates, Set of 4 - Amazon.com

I adore tomatoes, I adore them. My entire kitchen is done up in them. I used to grow them in the garden as a child with my Dad. 

This dish set is discontinued, you can find pieces on ebay from time to time. But that said, I do own a few coveted pieces. 

I love that the tomato is very real, not kitschy as you often times see it. It's a white plate, easy design, and can make the smaller appetizer bites look decadent!

 

 

 

Lisbon Dinnerware Sets of 4 - Cost Plus World Market

$23.96 to $31.96 

Adore, Adore, Adore. It goes with tapas. It goes with your Italian. It goes with your peanut butter sandwich on a day that you need to feel extra special. You can dress this up or down or even sideways. It works outdoors (minus that it's breakable).

Love the warm color scheme that invites both fall and summer and I'm always a sucker for a good sized bowl and a "bigger than a teacup" mug.
