On a related note, I also got a Calphalon Double Boiler for $79.99.  Now what a deal THAT was.  There’s tons more on sale so you need to see it to believe it.  The sale is good through end of Memorial Day so hurry!!!

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.
