Merry Christmas To Me

Our house rule has always been that you shouldn't buy yourself anything in December, but last week I splurged on some new seasonal dishes for the house.

Amazingly, it coordinates with every plate color

With all the extra eating we do around the holidays we never have enough plates (and I get tired of continually washing things up).  Several years ago I purchased some country-blue-and-maroon-snowflake-embellished salad plates that coordinated with the stoneware we had at the time. However, last Christmas I was lucky enough to receive a set of Fiestaware as a gift. We continued to use the snowflake plates for the rest of the holiday, but they didn't exactly match the new plates.  When I saw the Christmas Tree pattern Fiestaware I decided to upgrade.

I now have eight embellished salad plates and eight solid color larger ones.  Hopefully that's enough.  If not, we can always use the bread plates...

  1. How pretty. And not to worry. I've seen children scarf up birthday cake with a spoon from a salad plate.

    1. Son Donald told me that even if I'd put the dishes on my Christmas list I would have received them too late.

  3. Nice! And I love the Fiestaware, too!

    I don't plan to, but usually do, buy myself something in December. I think it's because I'm out shopping for others and come across a deal I can't pass up!

    1. We have to take those deals when we can get them, don't we?

  4. I've always wanted to get Fiestaware because of the gorgeous colors. Your plates and bowls look perfect together and so festive.
