I have quite a random assortment of  dishes in my kitchen – IKEA dishes from my college years, dishes acquired from my sister/former roommate after she got married, dishes purchased on whim because I’m a sucker for target sales… one day I’ll have real grown-up dishes (isn’t that what wedding registries are for anyway?), but for now I’d rather spend my money on dresses/shoes/weekends in NYC!

So when I came across Jill Rosenwald’s Etsy shop and I was surprised I had the urge to stock up on plates, bowls and caviar trays… caviar trays?! Why would I need one of those… because they’re pretty, that’s why!

Bee Bowl in Perla, various bowls in Exeter Link pattern including Ice Cream Bowls and Vases, this fabulous Appetizer Plate in Opium Fever, Mini Cup in Outfit Cool

These hand-painted pieces are such gems don’t you think? The colors are completely delightful and I’d love to have even just a few pieces as decorative art to display in my apartment. You can read an interview with the artist here and find more of her work on her website!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone! Are you doing anything exciting? Going to Gold Cup? Watching the Derby? (confession: I’m actually terrified of horses!)

On Saturday I’m celebrating my half birthday (because I can!) and I’m hoping there will be funfetti involved :)
