Shell Chic
March 24, 2010
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?

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!
Such a neat story! I am always so inspired by self-taught artists!
