After spending the weekend celebrating a family friend's birthday and having some delicious meals on some amazing tableware, I've been dreaming of new crockery.
1. The whole collection of Nature Table plates from Anthropologie are my favourite combination of strange and beautiful, but the Praying Mantis design is the weirdest (and therefore best). (£16)
2. These Burleigh Blue Calico plates are a more traditional style, but I still find them very pretty to look at. It might be tricky to make sure they're clean when you're washing up, mind you! You can find them at John Lewis in various sizes. (£9 - £14.50)
3. Although they're probably the most impractical type of crockery, I'm a sucker for dainty tea cups and saucers. Some day, I'd like to have a whole mismatched collection of them! I love the scalloped effect this set from Oliver Bonas has, as well as the lovely pastel colour. (£12.50)
4. I was very excited when I discovered that Le Creuset make mugs. I mean, of course they do. Why wouldn't they? But, still, it's exciting! They come in pretty much every colour you can imagine, and I spotted them at Debenhams. (£12)
