Edie Rose by Rachel Bilson - Hydrangea Collection

I read a blog post a couple of years back and the girl just talked about her china and how much she loved it. As an unengaged/unmarried girl I thought it was a little weird. However, once I started my gift registry I immediately understood the love affair between a woman and her china.

I really didn't think I would register for china because I do have some in the family that I will inherit some day but once I saw the Edie Rose collection I knew I had to have it! It's not technically china so it was a good compromise.

Even when I put it on the registry I would've been happy just to get a few of the pieces but thanks to friends, family and some other awesomely generous people I got 12 place settings, the serving pieces and the napkins!

James said the dishes remind him of me and I couldn't agree more. They're traditional, girly, Southern, PINK and they have hydrangeas (my favorite flower second to magnolias).

The teapot was the very first wedding gift I received (shout out to my sister-in-law!). Is that not the most adorable thing you've ever seen???

 All the pieces are still in their boxes at my moms house since I don't have room for them right now. (Space is limited in seminary housing...case you were wondering). As soon as I have a dining room (or any room at all...a corner would even suffice) I really look forward to being able to display the collection. Every single piece represents someone who thought about us during our marriage preparation and all that love is what makes it really special :-)
