The new dessert plates and platter at top from Anthropologie immediately caught my eye. The lovely watercolors were created by self-taught New Orleans artist Shelley Hesse. I swung by Shelley’s website and she is clearly just as adorable as her charming work! Above, a snapshot of Miss Hesse and one of her original shell study paintings. Aren’t the plates perfect for spring?
Such a neat story! I am always so inspired by self-taught artists!
These plates are gorgeous. How does Anthropologie always find just exactly the thing that I absolutely need to have?
Soo perfect! Love these Kate. I had my toast this morning on a wintry plaid plate and realized that – much as I love tartan – my wintry plaid plates are on borrowed time. Will be dropping into Antrho after work to see if they have these in stock! XO
Natalie — Do! Do! The coral plate is to die for. Scratch that, they ALL are. XO

I have a serious weakness for dessert plates for some strange reason. I used to be infatuated with plates and china period, but lately it’s dessert plates. Okay, I still like all plates but dessert plates make me particularly happy :) marija
Oh Anthro- the true love of my life. And the designer is just so adorable… I want her to be my friend!
