But, I also prefer patterned plates with either nice big designs or multi-colored, not mono-colored. I like showy, splashy stuff, but I fear getting bored with the same showy pattern and don't like the idea of replacing stuff because I'm bored.
Kathy, we have "Polish Pottery" which my mother is completely OBSESSED with, but I do like it. We don't have a set, just a bunch of different plates in different patterns that we like. Most are in the same color family (blue and yellow) so they sort of match without actually matching. I think you might like some of their stuff. These folks [link] have dinner sets showcased on the front page but on the menu you'll see a selection for "Plates and Platters" which leads you to the individual plates if that's how you want to roll.
This site looks good too, and also has sale looking stuff. Hmm! You can find the plates in the "tableware" section. [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ooh, that stuff is so pretty, Nora!

Ooh, that Polish stuff is nice!
I also started looking through cooking.com, and found some nice Tuscan-inspired pieces, such as this one, which comes with a nice dessert plate, too.
But I just noticed that it's handwashing recommended, and screw that! I don't have a dishwasher yet, but am looking forward to getting one eventually and not having to handwash my plates.

I love ours. There's a warehouse in CT I want to get to to pick up a couple new dinner plates and small mugs. Also, more cereal/soup bowls.
A lot of the patterns I see now are a lot fancier than the stuff I have from 6-7 years ago.

I like this one, too, even if it a bit less colorful, and it's dishwasher/microwave safe.

Kathy, polish pottery is oven safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe. It's hefty and sturdy.

Oh, and I meant to tell Scrappy that I love that Jacobean set!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My mother brought one of those bowls back from Poland -- love it.
It's just occurred to me that my coworkers probably think I'm hung over. I'm tired and cranky and have been drinking a ton of water. I'm totally not. I'm just tired! And cranky! And thirsty!
