I love the concept of romanticizing one?s life, this happens in part when we surround ourselves with things we truly love, that favorite coffee mug or candle you use daily, or the glassware and dishes you choose for meals.
I bought these charming blue and white melamine plates for summer, they?re perfect for salads or snacks during the day, I?m crazy about them. The entire Blue Bay collection is so summery!

Melamine plates are a summer staple for meals: melamine is portable (perfect for camping), lightweight (beach outings or picnics), and serving with them is more elevated than using basic paper or plastic plates. Also eco friendly because they?re reusable time and again!
Charming patterns are now available to give a glow up to your alfresco dining adventures, or even just your simple meal on the porch or patio. Hose them off at your campsite or in the yard and they?ll retain their attractiveness and utility, no need to worry about cracks or chips like with ceramic or porcelain. Here are the prettiest melamine plates I?ve found for dining and entertaining this summer and season after season.
