What do you think of when I say "melamine"?
I think of inexpensive, candy-colored utility ware. You know, worthy of picnics and children, but hardly the serveware of stylish parties and mature gatherings.
But recently my suppositions were shattered when I purchased some melamine serving trays and bowls from Target. It was one of those times. I was just walking down a main isle when large amounts of the perfect blue color rewound my last steps :

As it turns out, there are many amazingly styled melamine options out there.

Did you know that melamine is a thermal-setting chemical compound that has fire-retardant properties? Beyond dishes, it is used in Formica, dry-erase boards, glues, and fabrics.
I saw those at target too! So cute :) Too bad I can't convince W of my need for them. PS.I blogged about your 30daysdo today. I'm thinking of joining you for just the weekends...spice up my mundane :)
