As you know, I love pattern on pattern. It seems sometimes I even preach it, but it works. And I love layers. Stack the patterned plates, yet keep it easy on the eyes. My rule of thumb is if your eyes can’t rest, then it’s no good. Keep looking. Loud with quiet. Small plaid with bold pattern, keeping in mind that sometimes the unexpected is, like, heck yeah!

You know what I mean?

Sometimes, when I start thinking about a table setting, I pick out a set of plates that I haven’t used in a while, and see if they’ll pair with a seasonal print. And if I don’t have a seasonal printed plate? Well, I’ll make one.
