Show Us Your Life-China Patterns

Kelly is hosting "Show Us Your Life" and today it is China patterns. When I got married 9 years ago Brian and I decided that we wouldn't register for China. We just didn't think we would use it that much and there was other stuff that we wanted more. There are times that I wish we would have, but I know practically speaking we probably wouldn't have used it all that often.

For everyday use we use plain white plates from Crate and Barrel that 2 of my bridesmaids lugged all the way from California with them on a plane. Bless their hearts. Those things were heavy. Thankfully they stayed in tack and 9 years later we're still using them. These are from Crate and Barrel and they are almost identical to what we have. Love them.

If I were to get married again to my wonderful husband, I would love this China. It's from Kate Spade and it's called Belle Boulevard and you can find it at Bed Bath and Beyond. I think it is just so timeless and beautiful.

This makes me want to go throw a dinner party. Who's coming over?
