Not your grandmother's china

As my interest in all things design grew, so did my interest in tablescapes (which, btw, is a word I think got made up and I was definitely not acquainted with before blogging).

So I started paying a lot more attention to place settings...do you know how many fantastic china patterns are out there??? A LOT.

The possibilities are just endless...

Kelly Wearstler has some pretty bad A patterns that are *gorgeous*:


And I could shop Kate Spade all day long:

or 


Some more budget friendly versions can be found at Mikasa...

How cute would this be for Valentine's??? (c:

Can't go wrong with a little greek key...


And if you want some fantastic fun, quirky, and colorful options...you know Anthro is your go to...

I snapped this of my *favorite* plate there the other day, love that little guy (c: 


I'm slowly acquiring some cool ones from thrift stores and totally scored this awesome pattern on Saturday:

via my instagram

How cool is that pattern??? It's a metallic bronze...and fun fact, it's actually the china from American West Airlines that they created for a select couple planes and used it between 1989 and 1991...crazy, right?

I'm totally in love and can't wait to use it! It'll totally look like this, right???


Riiiiiiiight....
