Real Simple Whimsical Tableware by Rosanna, Inc.

I just love Real Simple, and am always inspired by anything contributing editor Jennifer Sbranti posts on their blog Simply Stated. I happened to run across Jennifer's post about the new collection of whimsical tableware by Rosanna, Inc. I was already a huge, huge fan of Rosanna, Inc., and her new collection did not disappoint - how adorable are these whimsical dessert plates! I'm already planning how to use them for my next party!

1. Decor Bon Bon - White {available Feburary 2010}

These stunning, all-white pedestal servers are inspired by old-fashioned Victorian designs, but still manage to have a fresh, contemporary appeal. They'd make for a fabulous (and very useful) gift idea or lovely addition to any white serveware collection!

2. Decor Bon Bon - Colors
This pretty pastel collection features a 1930's style pitcher, a graceful pink pedestal, and a spouted pink mixing bowl.

3. Ice Cream
Not that we really NEED another reason to love ice cream - but wouldn't it be fun to spoon it from one ofthese adorable bowls? They remind me of a 50's diner shop, and the retro-striped gift box way too cute too!

4. Gelato
Prefer gelato to traditional ice cream? Or maybe you like to savor your favorite frozen treat from an elegant dish? Meet the new Gelato collection – a set of old-fashioned fluted cups with a style that's just as tempting as the sweet treat that goes in them!

5. Eat Dessert First
Rosanna had me at the name with this collection... but the chic, whimsical sketch designs are the icing on the cake! The set of 4 dessert plates and matching platter are perfect for all sorts of occasions - from birthdays to dinner parties... you could even feature the plates in display stands as "party decor" for a dessert-themed bridal or baby shower.

6. Artist's Loft
Umm...yes, please! This eclectic assortment of tableware boasts 4 different design styles – Baroque, Sixties Mod, Ethnic Paisley, and Victorian – in one fresh, unique collection. Several pieces available; perfect for spring and summer entertaining!
