Really enjoy viewing the photos and info on your blog. I had tried at school but it was blocked. Did you have to buy the snazzy black and white plates?
Actually, the plates came with the apartment! I really like them too, as well as the lime green placemats. The only problem is that there are only four table settings so we have to wash dishes frequently!
