China!

I had stopped by the Square Cupboard in Hernando once before, but I didn't have a lot of time. For those of you who haven't been there, it is a new store that sells china and gifts on the square. On my first visit a certain china pattern had caught my eye because it was lime green. The more I thought about it, the more I loved it. I thought it was the more formal version of my Gail Pittman dinnerware (which I am still upset has been discontinued-- all of Gail, not just my pattern). So I thought I would give you a glimpse of what I picked out. Of course I was going to mix a few things together. The first is the pattern that originally caught my eye. I picked out the dinner plate and bread plate in the Oasis pattern by Royal Limoges:



I thought that the same pattern on every plate was just too much color and pattern. I found another pattern that works really well with it. It is basically solid gold, but there is a little bit of a design that is similar to the first one. The second one I picked out for the salad plate and the saucer is the Centennial pattern by Pickard:



The last piece I picked out is the monogrammed teacup from Pickard. The only picture I could find was of the silver one, but you get the general idea:




They also had some really fun serving pieces from a company called Annieglass. They have gold edges on all the pieces, and they come either straight or ruffled. I think they would look good with the china and with my Gail Pittman. Here is an example of those:



I made Jake stop by and look at it. He gave it his okay (although he probably would have said okay to whatever I picked out). I think he was more interested in the Ole Miss Tervis Tumblers.
