Day Spring Plates

-
I was so excited to see this post today at Nesting Place! I seriously own a partial set of blue dishes that was originally a place setting for 4. They all have chips and were a bargain at Service Merchandise when Matt and I got married in 2002. It's time for an upgrade. I've been wanting new everyday wear forever but with so many choices out there it's so hard to decide. I want something that I wont' get tired of looking at in 20 years-and something that will last that long! I have narrowed it down to something all white so that I can add some fun pieces to it for different occasions. I fell in love with these plates on Nesting Place's blog. They are giving some away and you can go there to enter to win too!

Thanks for writing about it--I think they look great mixed with white dishes!

Me too! I just loved them and told Michael I was eyeing them! Perhaps I will just settle for the platter or something since I do have china. :)

April, I went through two sets of dishes, one a dark green, Mediterranean style, and the other a cute beige peach floral country style, before I realized that white was the way to go. I love my all white dishes from Pfaltzgraf. You can't go wrong with white! If money was no object, I'd have dishes for every season, but that's not gonna happen, so the white is great.

Tonight I tucked in my sweet 2 year old son for the last time. Tomorrow he will be 3.  My second born, my baby for a while.  For the first time ever, he asked me to lay beside him as he went to sleep tonight.  I had a million other things on my mind and dirty dishes from supper calling my name.  I took him up on his offer and my heart was blessed indeed.  I laid there and thought about how my first born wanted me to lay beside her every night, I had to often tell her no because I knew it would just prolong her going to sleep.  It's sad really that your first child gets way more attention than the second.  It's true. No longer is it just one on one, now I am outnumbered and have to find a way to give more of myself. Now add #3 and it's just a circus. Nathan is my sweet loving little boy. Full of life and curiosity.  Looking for the next opportunity to do something he's not supposed to.  In one minute he can destroy a room and melt my heart....

Garland Party

The Nesting Place is hosting this great party with lots of really cool garland ideas, I LOVE this site. Since we are going to be in Florida for Christmas this year, and our townhouse is too small for our tree, I decided to have fun with this garland idea . I took two strands of lighted garland that I bought 2 years ago from an after Christmas sale at Michaels and twisted them together. Then I headed over to Hobby Lobby where they had all of their floral stems on sale for 50% off. I also added some things from around the house that I had. This was the only place I could find to put the garland so excuse the big fat TV in view. However, my sweet hubby did build me a mantle over the weekend and it should be up and functional in a few days. I'll repost my new and improved garland complete with my mantel tomorrow. Anyway, enjoy and check out Nesting Place for more fun!
