I also got overruns of a Danish or Scandinavian design for votive candle holders. they also have everyday and unusual plates. From Mikasa overruns I got great huge serving platters for PHP100 each so I bough a dozen so I can do a lobster meal with everyone getting their own platter! From Divisoria, there are votive candle holders for PHP5 each. When you put 100 of them on your lawn, it looks like a million bucks...no, stunning need not be expensive! annesqui et al, Manila has surprisingly good finds… cardinal ceramics has been a treasure trove over the years, I found leaf ceramic overruns destined for a well known Parisian florist/designer… I also got overruns of a Danish or Scandinavian design for votive candle holders. they also have everyday and unusual plates.

They're all beautiful. Not a waste of time; art never is. :) I'm so green with envy. I'm the first generation of collectors so to speak, I guess I'd be the one to leave deep cabinets of plates arranged by pattern. :) (I love entertaining too, and love beautiful but not necessarily expensive table presentations.) Each time I'm left to my devices in the mall, I go to the home supply stores and inspect plates, making up table settings in my head. Someday... when I get a/my own (bigger) house I will buy all the plates I want. :) (And probably spend hours dressing up the table. Hahaha.) Wow! They’re all beautiful. Not a waste of time; art never is. :)

I totally agree with you about the place settings and I think that it was definitely time well spent! I also like to think how I can stretch the "looks" of my meager collection. While reading through your post I was getting more and more inspired. And you are SO right to compare it to dressing up...because that is exactly how I feel about it :) Now I'm the one who better stop lest the frivolity police track me down!
