Some things I like to buy!

We love pasta meals so when I saw these in our local kitchen ware shop last summer I just had to buy them,


Not only are the dishes beautiful, but so are the boxes they come in too. Yesterday we bought another four bowls so we'd have enough for all the family and also....


The eight plates.

I think I will have to go back and buy the little individual oil and balsamic vinegar dishes!
It is so nice to have such beautiful china to eat from. They are a design from Rosanna Bowles.She has been awarded the prestigious 'Gift of The Year' award by the British Giftware Association; and her products have been celebrated in top fashion and home design magazines.
And so they deserve to be...They are too nice to put behind a cupboard door but as we are at last getting straight in our kitchen away they will have to go! We did have a pasta meal last evening, penne, bacon,onions and  mushrooms in  a cheese sauce so we could use them. Have you too been out and bought something you really like recently? I seem to be attracted to kitchen shops, it must be because I am following a weight reducing food plan!! LOL
Happy days!

That pasta recipe doesn't sound very weight reducing!!! :)
I am a pasta addict and almost eat it at every meal. Your dishes would make it taste even better!!

Love those pasta bowls!!! I had some plain white ones for years, but they gradually got broken till I was down to 1. They were always my boys favorite bowls and got a lot of use. I been thinking it would be nice to have another set. Very nice to have such decorative ones as well.

Those are indeed some gorgeous bowls. The designs are beautifully executed. Much too nice to hide in the back of the cupboard.

Those are gorgeous- I am sure pasta will taste even better when coming from them!! And you can put them on display when not in use!

Your bowls are gorgeous. Much too nice to be hidden in a cupboard.

I love beautiful china, my little weakness is tea in old china cups and saucers

Lovely set - you definately need the oil & vinegar to match!
I'm always drawn to kitchen shops too - not sure why as my Partner does most of our cooking!
