When Erik and I got engaged, I immediately set out to looking for absolutely everything we would need to pull this thing off. We had about a 2.5 month engagement (AH!) and had to get everything done as fast as we could.
One thing I really wanted to do was find mis-matched dining ware at thrift stores. I made some great finds, shopping at Goodwill as often as I could and finding pink/green/blue/red tagged items whenever those were 50% off. And then I found out the town we lived in at the time did a Plate Project, so we could just borrow mis-matched plates, cups, silverware, napkins... everything. Amazing, right?
Well I ended up with all these plates and bowls that I had started picking up. I realized, however, that a lot of these plates are gorgeous and would definitely earn a place in our home. So I picked through all the ones I liked and re-donated the ones that were leftovers.
These are my favorite dishes and I have a lot of little plates, which makes eating reasonable servings a tad bit easier. One other thing I have ended up with a lot of after the wedding (and not so much by accident) is lavender. So much lavender...
