I've been slowly over time compiling my own set of dishes - all mis-matched, goodwill/thrift store finds in varying shades of solid green. Over the weekend, Ian and I hit up the local goodwill and found quite a few pieces to work towards completing the set.
What I love about not having a matching set of dishes:
- Each dish has its own distinct character, and it feels special to use any one of them for all different reasons.
- If I break/chip one, no matter! No need to find the same set and get a specific piece to replace it - I'll just find something new next time I go thrifting.
- It's fun, funky, and green! There are so many beautiful, lonely plates out there that need rescuing - rather than buying a new set.
Here's to finding more green pieces to complete my set!
Looks like you and Ian had quite a find. You know I'm always looking for green too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being on the lookout, momma!
ReplyDeleteCarole Ann! I have a collection of Green Bowls too! They are my mixing/salad/chopping bowls. I just love them, and completely agree - they have a character all of their own. :)
