I love these plates and would order another set if they were available, I can hardly wait until they come back. I find the pattern heart warming and inviting. I lost ;my son and the cardinal gives me another feeling that he is with us. The table will look perfect for the holidays. I am old and if I never get to use them - I am proud to pass them on to my granddaughter. Hopefully my daughter wiill let me set the table with them at her house for the holiday get together, We can alternate places with white plates if I don't get another set, I have a lot of Winter Greetings serving pieces so I an excited to see it all together. For the past several years I have given Winter Greetings pieces as gifts I love the pattern.
