We had 15 people for dinner on Mother’s Day (I know …Happy Mother’s Day to me right?) and I learnt that we don’t have enough blue plates for 15 people.  

So on Monday when I had* to pop in to the newish op shop at the plaza I looked for blue plates.  And I found two rippers. One Cornishware and one Staffordshire blue and white plate for $1 each.  Perfect.

I love willow pattern  but I don’t want to be too matchy-matchy so I mix it up with other blue and white things.  Like blue and white stripes … and blue and white florals …

* It was pouring with rain and I didn’t want to get wet.
