I’ve spent the last few years alternating between wishing I could find the ultimately perfect dinner set pattern OR that I could be one of those people brave enough to pull off the quirky mismatched dinner sets.

Republic Dinnerware by Lenox

Just to give you an idea, here’s a few I’ve found courtesy of Replacements an online registry of discontinued patterns.
Just for fun, I’ve tried to keep them to just Wedgwood patterns (because trying to search all scallop edged dinner sets gave me something 40,000 results to wade through).
