I Can Hardly Believe It....

My dear friend Katrina bought me new dishes for my birthday! I happened to mention once that I'd like to replace my beige stencil-patterned (and somewhat scratched and tattered) Corelle dishes with a blue and white pattern some day. She surprised me with a gift card when I saw her in California and I just got to order these today...

Which will go beautifully with my eclectic collection of blue and white serving dishes and odds'n'end kitchen things that come from here and there - mostly rummage sales plus a bowl that John brought back from Taiwan and a little tea mug set he got in Germany. Thank you my friend!!!

Once nice thing about this pattern is that if we need extra dishes some day and we can't find the pattern any more (and this is already a "retired" pattern), they'll go quite nicely with plain white Corelle dishes as well.
