Show Us Your Life- China Patterns

I love dishes and plates and china.  I have a beautiful set we got from our wedding and I still love the pattern I chose.  It's elegant, simple, and timeless.  I fall in love with them again each time I bring it out.  Unfortunately, with 2 rambunctious little boys, I don't bring it out very often. I'm lucky if I get to break it out once a year.

I don't have nice everyday china.  We are making do with cheapies we got from Ikea.  Once cheapies dwindle down to where we need more plates, I'm going to invest in some nice casual dinnerware.  I really like Lenox's "Butterfly Meadow."  It's so cute and little whimsical. 

I also really like the Botanic Garden by Portmeirion.  It's just so pretty!
