Bon Chic Bongenre



Would you believe that these lovely plates, by Bongenre, are made of melamine??! Me neither. Which is why I snapped up 8 dinners and 8 sides stat. The company founder used to deal in antique porcelain so she knows from dinnerware and how it's supposed to look. Honestly, when my husband pointed them out to me at Ziggy's (that place I go that has precisely everything on the planet of all descriptions), initially I scoffed at him for picking out breakable china. This stuff is a thing of beauty.

Perhaps you know it's Scott's birthday today. We're having a little dinner party (outdoors, weather permitting) and I'm all ready for the BBQ! Well, I have the table organized. Don't worry, I'm going to photo shoot it up the yin yang.

  13. Scott thanks you all for your lovely birthday wishes!

    Alas, the weather sucked so BIGTIME I was in a horrendous mood. The outdoor party turned into an indoor party, requiring me to set the table and get organized 2x instead of one. I was a bit of a bitch about it all.

    The good thing is that I did take a couple of (rainstreaked) photos and will continue to take shots of the garden as the weather improves. Pls. stay tuned... Kxo
