Did you ever do the girliest of things and go china pattern shopping? I chose mine when I was about 14. I remember seeing these beautiful chunky mint green plates with dividers for the main and sides. "Oh my gosh, it's beautiful and practical! I have to have these!"
Never before and never since have I fallen in love with plates. The Fire King Jadite series just so happened to catch the eye of another fashionable lady at precisely the same time and that lady's name was Martha Stewart.
Martha bought scores of them and decorated her kitchen for her t.v. show with them, so naturally the price went through the roof and stayed that way. At 14 years old there just weren't enough hours in the day or babies that needed sitting for me to earn the money to buy those dishes.
I was fortunate to have some sweet family members who filled a box with those lovely chunky dishes in preparation for the day I would move out and set up my own house.
At first I didn't open them because it was just me and I moved a lot, so they stayed in the box. Then I had two little ones and little ones break...well, pretty much everything their mommies love. Now they're older, but our house is hopelessly lacking in storage space, so my beautiful dishes are still sitting in their box.
One day I'll bring them out and put them in one of those rustic cabinets with the glass front. So what does this all have to do with Dresden and their lovely Blue? Nothing except they make pretty plates too.
