Mikasa Love
I’ve been really craving holiday plates. I know it sounds cheesy, but I remember the special Santa mugs my mom pulled out for the holidays, and they always felt special to me. This year, I’ve really wanted to have something decorative but not kitschy for Christmas.
I saw these plates at the Mikasa outlet and really liked them. To me, they have a hint of sparkle without being over the top. Of course, I didn’t realize how much I liked the plates until I had left the outlet and driven the hour and half to get home.
I became obsessed with the plates. I scoured the internet looking for a place to order them. No luck.
I put “get Mikasa plates” on my Christmas to-do list. I tried to figure out when I could drive 3 hours to buy plates. Eventually, I got my opportunity
