Using the “Good Dishes”…
Posted by: | CommentsRemember when you were growing up and you were told “No, don’t use those dishes – we’re using the ‘Good Dishes’” and you handled them with the utmost care. I have to confess, I never invested in “Good Dishes” and, yes, my dinnerware was a bit worse for wear – especially when I would have to photograph everything. The plates I had were from when I first moved here to Orlando about 6 years ago, well worn, scratched and worse for wear.
There are a few dish sets that I have been eyeing but after seeing Colin Cowie’s Square Dinnerware set, I had to have it. It is simple, elegant and modern – and stands up to my crazy life.

HSN did a great job in packaging the set. Not one broken dish anywhere. It’s well made, durable and looks so chic. I feel like I’ve finally got my first set of “Grown-Up Dishes”. I can’t even begin to tell you how pleased I am with the purchase. Now here’s where it stands up to the true test – it makes even takeout look fab.
