...across the room to celebrate summer.....


The blog has been a little on the heavy side lately so I thought I would share some of the sunshine in my life for a change. This spring, for some reason I felt the need to buy some new "summer dishes". I had broken a few of the dishes I use every day and felt the need for a new set, something bright and cheery. However, this was to be my year of curbing my spending and I just wasn't sure whether I should give in to this desire or not. I had been eyeing these pretty bright dishes at our local Safeway store and decided finally that if they went on sale I would get them. Not too long ago I needed a few things from the store late in the evening and there they were again! Discounted and waiting for me to take them home and now one of the bright spots in my day is waking up to these dishes, coffee, and whatever else my heart desires. I use that big plate even though I'm just having a little piece of toast, a muffin or some fruit and cheese! Even raisin bran tastes good in those beautiful big bowls!! I love my new dishes and I'm not sorry I bought them :)

Love the dishes Mom! They look very you, and the shape of the bowls reminds me of those really old bowls that you have. Too cute!

Yes I know which bowls you are talking about. These are just deeper than the old bowls.
I'll serve you breakfast in my new dishes when you come to see me :)
