Ever since the wedding I have had a lot of vintage dishes out and I realized that it's easy to host impromptu parties when your pretty things are accessible.  I may have to find a new arrangement for my dishes.  My good friend Laura came over yesterday and a long time ago, before we were moms, we used to host each other with beautiful dishes and intricate meals.  We aren't in that place any more, but that doesn't mean I can't serve Trader Joe's banana bread and fresh berries on pretty vintage plates.
