i love this idea...antique silverware by the pound! From Napa Style
but I do need compote bowls! I do!
Laguiole steak knives from hereI imagine after the "first Thanksgiving", all those folks sat down to share a meal, and the chicks were wishing they had better tools than boat spikes to eat their oysters. After our dinner the other night we realized we had forgotten to ever acquire proper entertaining tools known to modern man as the "table service". We've collected many things over time but we never got smart things like real silverware and dessert plates. We don't even have a proper cake server. It was sad to serve the lovely desserts our guests brought, stilton and port and cheesecake and figs off of teacup saucers and paper napkins. Mom was right. It was like not having clean underwear at the hospital.
Now I have it in my head that I want cockle forks and salt cellars and berry spoons and fish forks. In the spirit of impending days of entertaining and large sit-down dinners, I will find time to give thanks. But today, I found some time to want. Who's with me?

...and saucespoons. And those beautiful little knives and forks for fruit after dinner.
Hey - I just digested that. Dessert was lovely, and a saucer can be a fine plate.
oh yes marie, it's true...I know...but it feels like time for real dessert plates! (and knives and forks for fruit after dinner...)
we want so we can give. yeah, that works ;)!
I love everything it' so refined, the colour of the plates is wonderfull
i have dessert plates and a few of those little fish forks. but i've never used the fish forks.
Darling Deb- your truly are a girl after my own heart. I LOVE those Nathalie Lete ceramics for Anfro- I got the set of Paris-themed desert plates for my little sister last Christmas. They are most marvelous.
I *wish* I were on the east coast for your holiday soirees coming up! I wear my necklace all the time. I'm obsessed with it.

I had dinner at a Quebec restaurant the other night with Laguiole steak knives. Everyone was making a fuss about those owl-logos!
i don't know. cheesecake and figs? i think i'd deal with messy fingers for a little bit of that goodness! xo.
The white plates in assorted designs from anthropologie are my favorites--very classy. And a prettier steak knife I never did see!
I lub my salt cellars. That's all I'm saying.
(Happy T-Day, Bonbon.)
it feels like time for real dessert plates!
