Strutting Down The Avenue


 Some of you may have noticed these plates on a previous post.
I am totally gah gah in LOVE with this small round plate and also the rectangular platter piece.
 It's from Pier One.
 It's called Park Avenue, and it's filled with sweet puppy dogs of different sizes and breeds, each on a leash and out for a walk down the Avenue.
They have hats, scarves, sweaters and reindeer antlers on and each is wearing his or hers proudly as they strut for all to see.
 I was checking out at the cash register at Pier One a few months ago and noticed these lying on their counter, near some of their Christmas displays.  They looked as if they were being held for a customer, but when I asked, the girl said "no" and that they were absolutely for sale.
 Well, I snatched up one, then said, "oh what the heck" and grabbed the other one also.
 So glad I did, because they now seem to be sold out!
I'm sorry if you love them and missed them when they were available,
but I have been told that they are already considering bringing them back next year.
I just go "squeeeeee" every time I look at them!
You see... I love pretty plates for putting out cookies and cakes for the Holiday season,
and this will simply add to my fun collection.
Got a favorite Christmas plate for your goodies?

Tip For December



 If there is one weakness I have, it is for pretty holiday plates, whether it be Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving.  I simply LOVE pretty plates.

 Not so much dinner plates, but smaller plates for cookies, cheese and crackers, ooooey gooey yummy lemon or chocolate bars.  Everything looks better on a pretty plate.

 It's one of the reasons I love Pier One so much.
They seem to have a plate for every holiday or occasion, and if you check them out right after Christmas, the red ones all go on a special sale price.

 A year or two ago I stopped in in January and picked up two of these and two of those... you know, mix and match, and I keep them in a kitchen cupboard the entire month of December so that I can use them.
I don't hide them away in a china cabinet in December.

 Someone stopping by for some wine?
Grab a few pretty plates and use them!

I refuse to bring them out only the week of Christmas.
Pretty plates should be used and enjoyed, and they were on sale after all, so if you break one?
BAH!
Who cares!
USE THEM!

They even make your peanut butter sandwich look better at lunch time!

That's my tip for December.
