Scallop Plates and Platter

While doing some last minute shopping, I discovered this lovely Hudson and Classic Band dinnerware from the Martha Stewart Collection and I was wondering how did I not know about these lovely pieces until now. I guess it's better late than never.
Choose from the far from basic black and white or green.
If you want to do some mix and match why not combine the green and the black and white together.
Do you see this fabulous dinnerware?
I've seen it in a few magazines and immediately fell in love but wasn't sure of the critical details (who it's designed by or where it is located so I can either swoon online or in person at the store.) While reading the current issue of Lonny Mag, I learned this oh so lovely dinnerware is created by Kelly Wearstler and I'm officially in love. This would be perfect for the Holiday's and everyday if you so desire.

One key color of this season seems to be blue. Be it rich and indigo or cool and soft hues, blue is everywhere so instead of letting your closet get all the attention lets share that fabulous fashion sense you have with your table. It's obvious this deep blue hue is lovely here but it could be equally fabulous on your table. Dress up your table with one of the hot colors for the season.
How lovely is this South Hampton Table Setting by Charlotte Moss.
The Ink Dish Irezumi Place Setting is perfect if you're looking for tableware with a creative edge.

Who wouldn't love this Gold Label Recipe box? When I saw it here, I like anyone else swooned and immediately thought of all the wonderful recipes that could fill the cards.

I love stationery and while I do create my own lovely little note cards, that doesn't limit me from collecting my share of stylish and lovely stationery. This Westside Kate note card set, is fabulous right? You'll also love Market Kate too.
Looking for a classic yet unexpected way to set your table, try these petite script plates. You could host a few friends for lunch and give these as a special party favor, or create a collection of your own using your initials.

It's true I'm a girl who loves pattern and color, but sometimes you need to change it up. Let go of that color for the basic black and white color palette. These pieces would be perfect.

If you love the idea of black and white for your table but need a little color. Mix it up and have fun.
When you host your next dinner party have ice cream for dessert and use these bowls.
I think the current heatwave has me on a ice cream kick.
I realized I talk a lot about dishware and very little about glass and stemware, well since I'm no expert in setting a perfect table I'm just going to show some favorite discoveries. I will say this when creating your tablescape add a little of your personality and character. Mix it up like with some of these lovelies.
