QOTD: Wednesday, April 18th

[TtownAnne]

What color are your everyday dishes? (am thinking about new ones for us!)

[marcy]

They are cream

[Jessica]

Mine are also cream...and I think they are the same ones Marcy posted. I have another set that is brown, but we don't use them that often.

[MrsPeacefrog]

White with a blue rim stripe

[sheila]

We have Pfaltzgraff Rio:

But I want something new.

[Michele]

Mine are white...Staccato from Crate & Barrel

[Alyssa]

These are mine: Blue Roulette from C&B. I still like them. :nod:

[AmyP]

Mine are off-white (although the picture looks white). Pfaltzgraff Filigree.

[redhairedgirl]

Mine are Pfaltzgraf Tea Rose - so they are cream with pink flowers. I am not crazy about them, but my Grandfather gave them to me and I have ALL the serving pieces to match.

I hated the black ones Jeremy picked out and let him take them with him when we split.

[Nichole]

White with a blue rim stripe

Ditto. They're like diner dishes.

I'm on the hunt for something new though, because we've broken half of the ones we've got. Plus I'm sick of them. :lol:

[Nocona]

Off white - Pfaltzfraff Heritage

[pam]

Ours our plain white. They look a lot like these (our bowl & mug different) http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=30&f=1665

[Darcy]

I have the same ones Alyssa posted. We registered for them for our wedding. I also still really like them.

[Karri]

Mine are basic white, kinda like this, but more old time diner-ish (Pottery Barn and C&B don't carry them anymore :complain: )

[Jayne]

Mine are white with a green rim. Can't find them anywhere on here. Our Kitchen is white and Green with Ivy accents so it all fit the mold :lol:

[Girlo]

Mine are Pfaltzgraff stoneware...but I don't remember the pattern name. They're dark blue, with a rim of triangles around the rim. It's a retired pattern, but I'm not finding it on their website! I like them okay, but Paul doesn't like them at all. We also have a set of dinner plates in just a plain white that he got from a restaurant supply store. We're using the blue dishes until they really start getting broken, then we'll shop for new ones! :)

[Stacey]

We have Denby Energy.

Ours is the kind on the left with the charcoal rim and the green inside.

I do want something different though. I've been wanting plain white for a while.

[Becca]

Mine are white with dark green trim...we got them at Zellers or WM for cheap :giggle:
Yesterday we were in Canadian Tire and I picked up plastic-y plates & bowls (only 4 of each) They're bright colors and way lighter to use for everyday than the ones we have. I even got the rubber placemats to match!! I may go back and get more of each and some matching cups too. :blush: They're just so "summer-y" I can't help but love them!!

[Jen]

You mean aside from the various plastic crap my kids use? :giggle:

I have plain white round dinner plates that we use most often. And larger square plates that are ivory on top and black on the back but the plates are too big for our dishwasher.

[Kara]

I have a mix of fiestaware

[Cami]

We have Villeroy and Boch Switch 3. It's a mix and match thing where you can get each piece in a different pattern. They are sold individually instead of in place settings and cost a fortune. We haven't broken any yet. :crossfing:

[Alysia]

I have a combo of fiestaware but mine are cobalt blue and pearl gray.

[redhairedgirl]

Kara, I love those colors! :up:

[Melissa]

I have Corelle Radiance. It is a part of their ultra line so they are 5x heavier than regular corelle and still has the same resistance to breaking. I got them for Christmas 2005. I love them!

[Jillian]

Blue with lighter blue "stripes" that go all the way around...I'm trying to find a pic, but not suceeding. But our bowls, while they are the same, we got in all the colours instead of just the blue.

[TtownAnne]

Oooooh, I like those too Kara - DH would never agree to eat off of purple dishes, though!

[Eva]

We have Blue Jetty by Denby. Ours is like the plate on the right:

[LISA]

I can't find the pattern online anymore but we have beige woven pattern for one of our reg set and if they are all in the dishwasher I break out our pasta bowl set which are fine for dinner as well they sort of look like this

http://www.firenzegifts.com/i/Bowls/tn_RFPastaSet1.jpg
just not so gaudy :lol:

[Kara]

Kara, I love those colors! :up:

Thanks!!

[Kara]

Oooooh, I like those too Kara - DH would never agree to eat off of purple dishes, though!

LOL , luckily mine could care less!

[Jillian]

Blue with lighter blue "stripes" that go all the way around...I'm trying to find a pic, but not suceeding. But our bowls, while they are the same, we got in all the colours instead of just the blue.


I can't find them, they were just something from Sears that we registered for for our wedding.

[schwanda]

We have old Crate and Barrel ones. They are blue and white. I like them but I wouldn't mind getting new ones! (Not in the near future though)

Amanda

[Shel]

These are ours. I LOATHE them, but they came with my husband and was an entire set, so his dishes won over mine

[Michal]

Mine are off-white from IKEA

[Ana975]

I have Sausalito from PB in these colors:

[Alyssa]

Shel, I don't hate those at all. :) (But then again, I'm not eating on them every day!!)

[Clare]

Oh I'm liking the fiestaware :nod: Especially Kara's! :)

Ours are yellow with blue daisies on them. They're called Blue Daisy :) We got them for our wedding and they are looking a little worse for wear. I'd like something new but I think we'll wait till the kids are a little older (and less likely to break them :) )

[Joan]

We use the same plates my in-laws got free when they bought this house in 1959! The company was called Hicks Homes and they gave a set of dishes away with each house.

They were in storage up until about 5 years ago when I found them. I really like them.

[Nadine]

We have one set for dairy foods and one for meaty foods.
Dairy - clear/seethru glass
Meaty - white porcellan

[sunnyflower]

Pfaltzgraff French Quarter-green and peach flowery trim. They are now retired and I would love to get a new set, but I have so much of it (serving dishes, accessories, etc) that I just can't.

[Mandi]

White with green ivy. I can't wait to get rid of them. :lol:

[kalm]

Mine are a cobalt blue from Pier One. I like them...though can see the day when the chips will make me want some new ones!
