Do you ever catch yourself being attracted to something simply because of the details?
Yeah, me too. I want this scrolly and dot pattern etched on to my chairs and bags and maybe I could add it to this blog’s design?
grateful for simple blessings
You can find this pattern on the Ever Grateful Collection just released by Nesting Place’s friend and Sponsor, DaySpring. The design and message is based on Ephesians 5:4, Let there be thankfulness to God. Not only do they offer these dishes, bowls, salad plates, mugs, trivets and vases in various colors {cue dramatic music and glistening beams of sunlight}…
always blessed, ever thankful
Somehow DaySpring snuck into my family room before I even redid it and created a pattern and perfect shade of green {called wasabi} that happens to look stunning with my current decor. Thankyouverymuch.
As usual, I have a few items that I’m especially fond of. Like the cake stand and the platter {remember, you can hang platters!}.
This pitcher is another one of my favorite pieces. As much as I love to collect pretty dishes, I can’t afford to have lots of pieces hidden away that only serve one purpose. That’s why I like to have things that I can display and use in other ways. This pitcher doubles as a vase, the platter doubles as a tray, the cake stand is great to group candles, shells, books {not that I don’t wish I had cake every day} and any and all of the plates are pretty enough to hang on the wall or be displayed in my hutch. When you buy dishes, you don’t want to buy them thinking they will be packed away in a cabinet 90% of the time, buy things that you can use and enjoy as much as possible. I even use the shapely coffee cup as a vase.
The collection combines all of my favorite things, beauty, meaning and usefulness.
You can get a couple of accent pieces, or an entire place setting {which is conveniently on sale right this moment}. Very well appointed I might add with the layering of the scrollies and dots with the squiggly edges. I’m sure they discussed that in their meetings.
Oh, and remember that Memo Board with the easel that you all saw at my Blessings Unlimited Party? It’s part of the Ever Grateful Collection as well! This was one of those pieces that everyone was commenting about. I’ll take 4 please.

how i love the Memo Board and Easel!! i can write all the little love notes to my hubby-to-be!! >.<
I’m not sure I can pick a favorite — they are all so awesome! I would take any one of them if given to me and might even buy something once I have a chance to look the site over better!
L O V E the 4 piece wasabi setting….so so cute and a great reminder to always be thankful…..we r told to keep the word of God written on our doorposts and where we can always see them; can’t think of a better place than as we sit as a family and share a meal together!!!
All the items are lovely- I like the cake stand the best..
how in the world do you pick just one item from all that gorgeous stuff? I guess if I HAVE to pick something I would pick the memo board. Such a fun piece to have anywhere in the house to jot a little note on.
I love the memo board. I like to keep scripture before me. I would use it for my daily reminder and inspiration!
love your blog!
Everything is lovely, but I love, Love, LOVE the memo board!
What a lovely giveaway. My favourite Dayspring piece from the collection is the cake pedestal. Thanks.
I absolutely LOVE the memo board. My daughter has one and she’s writing different scriptures for the different days. She’s very good at finding a scripture to celebrate a birthday, or a birth, or a wedding, or just ????
I also would love to have one. I wouldn’t mind winning one.
I am with you I love the squigglies and dots! How amazing is it to have dinnerware inspired by the Word!
I like all the pieces. Especially the scolloped salad plates. The cake pedestal is nice. I collect tea pots, but I don’t see one of those. I suppose then my favorite would be the large pitcher.
I love the pitcher! It is so pret”tea”! :)
I love the pitcher and the hydrangeas in it! I hope mine bloom soon!
I love the Serving Bowl. It would be beautiful empty, but what a pity to not use it for just about anything. Flowers, fruit, fabric balls, cookies, salads, Christmas cards, Easter eggs, chips, fruit balls, potpouri, gumballs, trick-or-treats, you name it.
that memo board is pure delight.
I love all the taupe colored dishes and the cake stand!
I LOVE IT ALL, I REALLY LOVE THE CAKE STAND AND EASLE…..CANT WAIT TO SAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET ALL THE PLACE SETTINGS I NEED
These collections is fresh looking, eaceful, inviting and beautiful to decor my house with without having to change my personal style, it is just what i need. I like it, Thanks…I like Dayspring collections.
My absolute favorite is the cake stand, I love to bake. I also love all the dishware and the flower vase. We are big fans of coffee and tea time and having a beautiful table setting makes every moment extemely special.
Really nice design with subtle but important message. Would love to be able to fill the cake stand with home made treats.
I have never seen things so beautiful in my life I didn’t know there was such items out there. I loved the meno board, so different and unique.
I love everything, but my favorite is the memo board, with the scroll designs, it reminds me of an invitation.
My favorite piece from the collection is the lovely Ever Grateful large platter because a platter is designed for something we share with our loved ones… as an artist and poet I appreciate the detail, design & excellence in workmanship. I love the verse as as I see thankfulness as the key to joy.
I absolutely LOVE the platter! Imagining it on the Thanksgiving table…
I love the subtle wasabi color and the lovely pattern… soothing to the eye and the senses. :-) My favorite piece is the beautiful pitcher, with the white hydrangeas in the photo. Am listening to Twila Paris and thinking how perfectly these pieces fit with praise music!
The serving bowl is my favorite item (after the memo board).
I love the warm earth tones of all the pieces. I guess my favorite (though it’s hard to choose) is the platter…..so many uses for it!
I love all the patterns they are so versatile, a comforting design. Any of them would be a delight to own. The message board would be so useful in maby circumstances. God Bless

The pitcher is my favorite, but it is all beautiful. I went to high school with the designer. She has made her hometown proud!
I love it all, but I must say the cakestand is especially beautiful and versatile! I love the simple yet sturdy look of it, and I can think of at least a dozen ways to use it right off the top of my head…This line is awesome! THANK YOU!
I absolutely LOVE these! Would like a set for 18, please.
These dishes are beautiful….the designs are simple yet eye catching.
I am pretty sure I must get that pitcher!!
The vase, it’s a must have for my vase collection
I love it all and can’t wait to start my collection!

Love the Pitcher – Love the artist…

I love the beauty and grace of this set with the beauty of scripture as well.
Love the 4 piece wasabi set of dishes but I would choose the memo board. Pretty and practical for everyday use!
The colors are really, really nice, especially the wasabi. The detail and scripture is what makes it really special. The memo board is a wonderful idea.
It is all first class!
I love the pattern of scrolls and dots. It reminds me of the Star of David somehow! I really like the honey colored place settings.
They are superb! Perfect in design and color. Melissa Reagan, the designer is super duper talented! GO MELIS !!!!!

This is stunning designs, love it all, and I love the artist!
I love the way it looks when all the patterns are nested together. Love the pitcher. Will recommend the cake stand to my daughter who loves to bake. I love that it encourages thankfulness at the table!
