The holidays are a good time to invest in small dessert plates if you don't already have a set. We use them daily for lunches and snacks, and they're great to have around for entertaining. Use them for appetizers or buffet-style parties. Colorful dessert plates can also bring a little boost to a set of white china. Details below.





Those Henna Paisley plates are especially great! Too bad they aren't melamine. (Don't ask why that makes it better.)

If you're on a budget, thrift stores are great places to score vintage dessert plates (I usually get them for under one dollar each). I'm amassing quite a collection of unmatched plates, which look really cute displayed on a shelf or used for parties.
