I discovered a gem! Come to find out- 30 minutes from my doorstep is the ceramics capital of Northern Italy. Nove is a tiny little town at the base of the alps where you can't throw a stone without hitting 5 ceramics factories. Ceramics originally didn't sound interesting until I found out that American companies like Williams-Sonoma and Tiffany & Co order their "Made in Italy" stock from this tiny town. Which means..........WHOLESALE!!!!!!!!!! 4 dinner plates that would cost $172 in the United States are only $28 here!

| Ummm...yes, please? Tiffany & Co cheaper than Target! |

| This might be what Martha Stewart's heaven looks like: floor to ceiling serving dishes! |
Jon is mad that I'm blogging about this place because he was planning on giving out Tiffany & Co serving dishes for Christmas and never mentioning Nove's factories. But in true girl fashion- I can't help but share with EVERYONE when I discover a great deal!
As a side note, since many of you have inquired privately, my own dishes etc have still not arrived yet. No word from Kuwait on their whereabouts.
