Melamine

I'm looking for some melamine bowls for E, as he's just mastered eating with a spoon. I normally put food on his highchair tray, unless it's really messy, but you can't use a spoon that way. So we need more bowls. I haven't yet found any bowls I really like, but aren't these plates from Pinks and Green just gorgeous? I think this is a 1950's style design - feel free to correct me here, I'm no expert - and I really love the old school feel.

If anyone can point me to some funky melamine bowls, then please post a comment below

Displaying pretty things

Our flat is a tip! The woodsman and his penchant for vintage china means that every surface is covered with stuff. It's all lovely, but you can't see it properly as it's all stacked in a higgeldy-piggeldy mountain. I really need to find some good ways to display things. I love these shelves for beautiful vintage china. Maybe I can get him to knock some up this weekend??!
