Every year, we celebrate the 4th of July with some of our very close family friends. It's always an evening filled with kids running and laughing, spectacular fireworks, and, of course, lots and lots of great food. It's such fun planning the menu and thinking of fun ways to decorate for our celebration. When I saw these plates at Target recently, I knew they would have to be a part of our holiday decor...
While they look like the iconic "paper" plate, they are actually made out of melamine!
How cool is that? Plus, they come in several different colors. And at only $1.99 each, you can afford to buy a whole stack!
I haven't quite decided yet on this year's "vision", but I am thinking that these plates look pretty cute with the Target red polka dot plates that I bought earlier this year...

Hi Jessica, I have had a fantastic read from your beautiful $1.99 plates and cute red polka dots all the way down to your flea market photos cant believe they even had RA fabric as a flea market find....I had a good laugh about your mini me story....priceless.
