Does anyone know a good brand or store that sells some cute, small dishes, preferably eco-friendly or Japanese style? All we have here are oversized Coca-Cola plates (as cute as they are), and I need some new dishes for my apartment. Any suggestions?

Great question. I am doing a lot of entertaining these days, so I went to IKEA and loaded up. They had some good bargains in plain white dishes, so I stocked up on those (I serve eighteen to twenty people at a time, so I needed a lot of dishes). http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/ca...t&pageNumber=0

While I was there, I saw lots of really pretty dishes. You might want to check them out.

Fiesta dishes are also really cute and colorful for every day -- very tough.

Cost Plus World Market is great!
