So, for a long time, we have talked about buying some white plates in bulk for entertaining. We finally buckled when we got here because after much shopping around, we were able to get 36 dinner and 36 salad plates from the Williams Sonoma Outlet for 50% off the outlet price. Plus, we had a gift card...perfect.
We have had lots of hilarious late night chats while here at M&K's, and the plates came up. I knew we would get grilled by M for making this purchase, so I tried to use my eco-friendly reasoning with him. Being the 'green soul' that he is...I thought this was my only way to win this discussion.
The sad part is, I have even wondered at times if 36 was enough!! (Okay, I am still wondering....)
Last night while reading about something completely unrelated on Apartment Therapy, I found this post about these people who bought 160 white plates!!! Yeah, someone more crazy than us. I love these people, and I love their rationale...and all the comments that follow. I immediately announced this article to Sean and K who were in the room with me, and sent it to M, hoping he would read it when it popped up on his iPad upstairs! M said it is just proof that you can always find something on the internet to back up what is not true....bottom line, I am still happy with my purchase. Where do you stand?
