Table settings

I have been thinking about table settings lately, something about this time of year, maybe it's mothers day or spring. I just purchased a few little plates to compliment our already plentiful tableware collection. Below are few of my favourite styles. Can you guess which set of plates I got? They are pictured somewhere below.

Here is a little photo guide for setting your next table. Can you believe all the pieces I would need for a formal dinner?! Only the queen herself could manage the storage for that many pieces!

**Update: The plate set I recently purchased to sit atop our bright collection of fiesta ware, are those pictured in the last photo above with flowers and insects in a painterly style. They are so pretty, perfect for date night in!**
