Duke of York dinnerware, $3.99-$5.99 per piece; HomeSense.
Disposable dinnerware? On an eco blog? Now you`ve seen it all, right?
Previously only available in Asia and Europe, Japan`s WASARA dinnerware is finally available in North America. Strong and sturdier than its paper counterparts (not to mention far more chic), WASARA`s wares are also biodegradable and completely compostable. (That is, if you have a compost heap.) Plus, they`re made with 100% tree-free sustainable materials: sugar cane fibre, bamboo and reed pulp. Order yours in advance of spring and be pret-a-picnic!
Price: Individual pieces, from $9 US (pack of 12 small plates). Sample pack (one each of all 14 pieces) $18 US.

It’s the same pristine white bone china you’ve come to expect from Vera Wang’s dinnerware for Waterford Wedgwood, but the doyenne of dreamy wedding dresses (and equally dreamy wedding registry must-haves) has a little fun with a new casual collection. These three new designs mark a radical shift away from her stately classics, and each one crystallizes a contemporary trend — arabesque ribbon, botanicals and ikat.

Aaaaaannd, because Pottery Barn is owned by the same company, we’re looking at ultra-affordable opening price points at that decor destination as well…Â

Although I’m doubtful that core European-sourced staples like the gorgeous scalloped Queen Anne dinnerware from Pillivuyt (above) will get the red-ticket sale treatment, I’m excited to see what Williams-Sonoma has in store for this recession-friendly approach…

Fresh, contemporary and fun, these colourful ceramic bowls are the perfect thing to put you in the holiday spirit. The multi-sized bowls will dress up any table with a burst of Christmas colour and are not only practical but left out on the table, make a lovely decoration for the season. The bowls are dishwasher safe and stack neatly when it`s time to put them away until next year.

The sign of a talented visual merchandiser is the ability to bring passers-by to a crashing halt. Kudos to those responsible for the Waterford Wedgwood display at William Ashley on Bloor Street for achieving just that: a spectacular spread of Wedgwood’s new Dynasty pattern that had me near-drooling. Destined for classic status, the bold and beautiful fine bone china boasts an in-your-face Chinese Dragon motif, Greek Key border and vivid palette. Almost (I said ALMOST) makes me want to trade in my Blue Willow…
