can i just say how much i love christmas tree shops !? i scored a sixty-piece set of dishes for just $12.50. it’s kind of a long story and i won’t bore you with the details, but i sure am giddy with excitement. they’re actually a nice creamy white, not beige like they appear in the pics. they’re the kind i’ve been eying up for a while now…white with beading.

we didn’t need dishes until we decided to have my entire family over for christmas eve dinner. there’s going to be a total of twelve of us and we only have had eight plates. i got all sixty of these for less than i would of paid for a place setting of just four. AND they look just like the more expensive pottery barn ones. crazy!
