“Your tablescape is sure to pop with these bright and cheery melamine plates from Crate and Barrel.” – Melissa Mauzy, Managing Editor 

“I love festive, colorful mix-and-match outdoor dinnerware, especially when it's dishwasher safe! The beautiful, handmade look of these plates is perfect on the patio for breakfast, lunch or dinner!” – Darla Youngquist, Account Executive 

“I love this “down by the sea” theme. Plus, these cute plates will work for Fourth of July festivities.” – Kim Dillon, Art Director 

“You can mix and match to your heart's content with the Dansk The Burbs Collection at Macys.” – Suzie Osterloh, Owner/Publisher 

"I love these plates because of the bright colors and southwest feel, but they are special because my St. Louis Homes & Lifestyles family gave them to be for my upcoming wedding. I can't wait to use them!" – Marla Cockrell, Account Executive
