In honor of the Royal Wedding…

I bought these:

“Domestics”!  My favorite reason to shop!

(I really had no choice because the car needed a battery.  And Marshall’s is next to Sears.  And these were on clearance for $2 – yes, TWO DOLLARS a plate/bowl.)

So it isn’t my fault that they ended up in my kitchen cabinets?  Is it?

Unfortunately, there were only five plates and two bowls.  I bought them all, of course (spending a grand total of $14), but now I’ll be looking for this pattern for the foreseeable future and I will become obsessed.  I already wrote to the company, attaching photos and asking how I can get more. 

I’m pathetic.

Where will they fit in our small kitchen with barely any cabinet space? I figure I’ll squeeze them in somewhere among the other blue dishes, like the Dansk Bistro (a wedding present) or the new white square dishes from World Market…

…or maybe above our everyday dishes.  Blue, of course.

I admit it (that’s the first step, right?): I have a problem around domestics – especially German bedding and dishes.

Is there a 12-step program for this?

Oh, and to the happy couple (thank goodness, this time the couple really does seems to be happy): Congratulations!  Yes, I will, in fact, be up watching the ceremony at 5 AM because I’m a romantic. 

Hmmmmm… I wonder what dishes and bedding the royal couple will use?
