Bread in this country used to be either kind of oval--challah, rye,
pumpernickel--cube shaped--corn bread-- or squares of commercial bread.
Of recent, wonderfully, bread is reaching us in different shapes. Flat,
pancake like tortillas, pita, and chapati; and pipe shaped: baguettes.
(Yes, subs were around)
But, dear ones, WHERE ARE THE PLATES? I have been buying smallish thrift
shop platters for wraps and baguette sandwiches...WHY do I not see sets of
such in the stores? Why, I ask you, WHY?
Do you really think a wrap hanging over the edge of a plate, or a baguette
skiddadling around because it is suspended on the plate rim attractive?
Have you tried getting chutney out of the double damask?
Help!

Where are side plates for rolls? Dessert bowls? Nowhere either.
That's why I started in pottery, to make them for myself.
It's up to us to make them, to display and sell them everywhere
we can, to create a market demand sufficient that stores like
Stokes (in Canada) will order them from China or Vietnam where
they can make them cheaply enough to mass market here (less than
$1 per piece cost to retailer) :-(

Ms. Lili:
Now I'm confused.
Are you speaking of elongated, oblong style platters on which to firmly
ensconce
bread loafed products at table? Round flattish platters on which to
place tortillas, pitas
and the occasional artisan loaf?
All of the above?
For removal of chutney and the like from fine linens, might I suggest
"Shout" or a liberal
application of liquid Tide? Massage in to both sides of the spot (front
and rear), launder as usual.
Do NOT rub parts of the fabric one against another, that only destroys
the fabric and sets the organics
more firmly into the fabric fibers. Use your fingers or a decent medium
stiffness toothbrush (either one),
in a circular motion, as if giving the spot a massage.
Best,

Hi Lilly,
Your baguette plates are in Yakima Wa. I make a plate specifically for them 'cause we regularly buy that shape of bread in my house & I had also never seen a plate that would hold a loaf that size or shape. I've sold about half a dozen in my shop. They also look very nice if you line up small tea light candles on them the way the designers do in the home decor mags. I told one woman this when she whined ( she literally whined) "But it won't fit in my cabinets !" As soon as she found out she didn't have to store it in a cabinet she could leave it on a table she walked out with it. I sure am glad I get trade mags. for the interior design business. Some women just don't seem to want something unless they see/ hear about it in a magazine first I guess. In my area people don't want "art" , They want current trend type of stuff. :o( Now all I have to do is find some willing to pay more than "Wallmart " prices. I think I'll do that next week! ;oD
I'll send you a pic if you're curious.
HUGS!
Logan

This sounds like an excellent application for a
