Obsessed: Juliska Country Estate

My cousins and I stumbled upon the new Juliska line Country Estate while shopping in Franklin this weekend.  I am obsessed.  

Grey and white is kinda my obsession right now, so it's no surprise these speak to me.  Each plate features a different scene: Main House, Rose Arbor, Reading Pavilion, Apple Orchard and my favorite Tea Party Tent!  

As with pretty much all Juliska, these are great to transition from casual to formal.  Mix in pewter pieces to make more masculine, or lighter colors and textures to add a feminine touch.  I appreciate that each scene is beautiful, detailed and a bit whimsical.

  

Holiday: Easter Plates

As I drove to Mississippi to spend time with family over the Easter weekend, I was reminded of how much I love holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day and of course Easter!  

I'm always on the lookout for interesting holiday pieces for my collection.  A few months ago, my fabulous friend Linda told me about the Pottery Barn outlet in Memphis. Tucked away in a small shopping center off the highway, I found this set of egg shaped plates in assorted colors.  One of the most knowledgeable and intuitive shoppers I know, Linda of course gave the suggestion that led me to these plates at 50% off.  Can't beat that!
