    Wow!

    I have a best friend who has moved to Florida recently, and quite frankly I feel I have been neglecting her. I would think She would love the Set of beach bottles to commemorate her new home this Christmas, and maybe she will forgive me for not calling as much as I should.

    I would give the Red Dots set to my Mom – she would be over the moon for them…

    And I have to add that I would get the Rococo Noir for myself…you know, for my birthday.

    All the {red} dots in the all the world,
    And teapots, plates, and saucers twirled,
    Would make the perfect gift you see,
    For my dear friend Anna Lousie.

    What’ere the flavor or décor,
    Served in this set would mean much more,
    But oh, how lovely it would be
    If Rosanna sent one for me!

    I would give my friend Holly the Tea’s Me teapot set. It is adorable and we have a tradition of throwing baby shower tea parties for our group of our best friends. She is pregnant right now and it has been a rough pregnancy and I know this would put a smile on her face.

    I would love the soda fountain plates. There are certain memories that you retain as an adult–in my family it was when we had dessert on certain dishes. I would like to start a new tradition in my family with these colorful creations.

    My mother has never in her life had a set of nice platters or service. I’d love to give her The Red Velvet Collection. It is so much better to give than to receive!

    My mom has been asking for a nice pedestal forever, and the black large pedestal would match her black toile dining room exquisitely!

    I would love to give my dad’s new wife Michele the American Bungalow mixing bowls. We have found that we share a love of vintage Pyrex dishes, and these beautiful mixing bowls remind me of the classic primary colors mixing bowl sets we’ve been trying to put together.

    The 12 days of Christmas are so whimsical! I would love these for the family meal I’m sure to make, the CT Coffee and Teapot Set would make an excellent gift for my mother-in-law, who would really love those delicate birds!

    I would give my mother the Boho dinner plates. Although she can afford better now, to this day, my mother continues to use a motley collection of Corningware acquired through the years, both for their practicality (difficult to break) and affordability. I would like her to experience the small joy of using a real collection of plates that are both pretty and “impractical”.

    Lots of deserving moms this Christmas! Mine is no exception. I would give her the 12 Days plates (that I’ve been crushing on forever). She always has the best dressed holiday table, and these would only make it better!

    What a gorgeous collection. I am in love with a lot of her stuff.

    I would choose the Natura Tea For One set to give to my mom. :) I think she would really like it.

    The Dark Chocolate Collection would be PERFECT for my mom because she LOVES anything and everything chocolate and the Rococo Noir Collection would be PERFECT for my best friend – she loves anything black and lacquered and the Rococo Noir Collection is just that!! My personal favorite is the Dinner Party Collection, so simple yet so fun, perfect for anyone!

    Love it all!!

    Wow, thank you so much for all these giveaways. I have always loved Rosanna and had always wanted to buy her beautiful items but could never make up my mind. If I could pick out one gift, it would be the gorgeous and colorful set of stoneware Rosanna Bowles which I’d give to my daughter. She just moved back from London and is moving into her first home in December so it’ll be a lovely housewarming present. They fit her personality perfectly. Again, thank you so much.

    I would definitely love to give the Bon Voyage set to my mother-in-law. She has been planning a Europe trip for just the ‘gals’ for next summer. She is a world traveler and loves touring – this is right up her alley to remember all the great places she has been – and where she is taking her daughters and daughter-in-law :) This would be a great thank you for her!

    Seriously – could a holiday set be any more fabulous?! I’d give another set of the appetizer plates to my best friend for sure – she’d be so envious of mine – it’s the only thing that would keep her from borrowing them and never giving them back!

    I would give my Grandmother a set of Les Femmes dessert plates. She collects china sets and throws the best parties! Plus, she is still as beautiful and stylish as the women on those plates . . . even in her late seventies!

    my sister is moving out, after graduating this december…she is a cupcake lover so i’d love to give her the cupcake plates this Christmas! And I have ben eyeing the 12 days of Christmas plates for a while, so I’d surely enjoy them!

    I would give the Natura set to my sister–she’s having a hard time right now as she tries to have kids, and I would like her to take a moment and be kind to herself.

    So excited to see another Rosanna giveaway. I’d love to gift my best friend the Red Polka Dot set — she adores polka dots (even has the blick decal dots on her walls) and I’m sure it would cheer her up as endures her first year of Medical School in the snowy North East.

    I would love to give my mom the olive oil set. She loves anything Italian, and even though she has never been able to go, she recently paid my way to Italy and this would be a great way to thank her!

    I would love to give the “Les Femmes” Tea for Two Set to my best friend… We don’t get to see each other nearly enough as she’s a 6 hour drive away and there’s nothing better than sitting around chatting over a cup of tea when we ARE able to get together… Plus we travelled to Paris together in college and it would be so fun to reminisce over that adorable set!

    Wow! What a fabulous giveaway.

    I would love to give the Boho Dinner Plates Set to my mother because she’s where I got my love of home decor from. :)

    I’m only 20, but I love to decorate and shop for dinner ware, art, home accessories, and absolutely everything related to home decor.

    The Boho set would be perfect for her. She loves feminine items and bright colors.

    I would love to give my sister-in-law the NATURA Tea For One set. The tea set is perfect because she works to protect the environment and has recently had some unexpected medical problems that are causing her unnecessary stress. I think waking up to a cup of tea in this beautiful nature inspired cup would be just the thing to help ease her stress while reminding her of her greater purpose.

    I moved away from my two best friends a couple of years ago! I miss them so much. I would love to get the set of Four cupcake plates and send them each two. That way they would have something pretty to eat their breakfast on or a special dessert.

    They can think of me when the use them!

    [not sure that my first comment went through]

    All of my mother’s dishes are white and practical except for one pretty ice cream bowl she uses very sparingly. When she does use it, she smiles secretly to herself and you can tell it really makes her happy (and feel lovely). I would love to gift her the Boho plates as they will bring a welcome splash of color to her collection and because I know she will adore them as much as her ice cream bowl.

    I saw these plates on delight a few days ago and came SO close to getting them for my sister, Becca, who I give to this year. If only our sibling exchange budget was more than $40!!! I would most definitely get a set for her- she would flip and I would be very, very popular…

    Thank you for introducing me to the Rosanna website, what a beautiful collection.

    And what a wonderful giveaway! The appetizer plates are unlike any I’ve seen before – such a vintage, non-Christmasy feel .. simply gorgeous! If I were one of the lucky winners, I would choose the ‘First Snow, Tea for One set’ to give to my mother who is a huge tea fan (and who is equally as huge a fan of the colour blue/teal.)

    I would love to give the Dauphine Candlesticks (in white) to my best friend. She’s had a rough several years and she is almost finished putting herself through graduate school. She has decided recently to focus her energy more on her home and wants to create a beautiful retreat for herself and her husband with the perfect mix of funk and elegance. These candlesticks just scream funky elegance, which is sooo my friend. I would love to help create the perfect sanctuary for her and I think these candlesticks will be just the ticket!

    The Kings Road collection would be a lovely gift for a dear friend who has just found out she’s temporarily being relocated to the UK. The gold crowns and Union Jack flags on pristine white porcelain will get her in the spirit of Jolly Ol’ England! This set would be perfect as she gets in the habit of afternoon tea and scones. What a beautiful design!

    I would love to give my mom the 12 days of Christmas appetizer plates. Last year, she hand painted a beautiful set of juice glasses for each of my sister and I. Each glass was one of the Twelve days of Christmas. She finally finished a set for herself to use. I can see her setting the table Christmas morning with both the plates and glasses. The bright colors and sweet pictures would look perfect together. I would willing give my set to her, just as long as I get to eat off the eighth day!

    OH I would most definitely pick the boho desseret plates! I have been obsessed with them for months! I would be very selfish and keep them for myselfs although I would DEFINITELY have many friends over for dinners. They would also look fabulous for baby showers–luckily I have many friends popping out babies left and right (to whom I will play the favorite “aunt” and hopefully I will be blessed with little chubby babies of my own one day)!

    And to whom would you love to give this holiday? My mother of course! I can’t think of a single person that I would rather give such fabulous plates to–her home is the center of all family gatherings and with be for years to come. Of course they would NOT be at the grandkid’s table!

    I’d like to give the 12 days of christmas plates to my mom. My mom escaped an abusive marriage many years ago and had to leave everything behind. In the years since she’s always commented on the fact that she’d really like to have a set of christmas dishes like she did before she left my father.

    I would get the little black dress plates for my little cousin. Okay, she’s not that little, she’s 18… but she’s littler than I am! She wants to be a fashion designer and these plates would be great daily inspiration for her!!

    I would like to give the wine tasting appetizer plate set to my sister in law. She is in Minneaplois for an internship away from friends, family and her husband this Christmas. We have a wine club at home and I thought this would be perfect to remind her that we miss her and of our fun wine club!

    Wow. Those 12 Days appetizer plates are stunning. As soon as I saw the picture, I thought of my childhood and baking cookies with my mom. We’d spend hours and hours baking and decorating in detail. Every year she arranges special personalized cookies on plates for everyone to munch from while we open a gift at midnight. So excited to see these!
    I love the Rosanna pieces – i have the Birthday plates and platters and use them for every birthday party!
    As for my favorite Rosanna piece from the collection – i’d have to say I love the Wine Country Large platter. Perfect for entertaining!

She has worked hard (3 jobs!) her whole life to support my brother, sister, and I, and now that we are getting older she has told me that all she hopes for is to one day to be able to take a 30 minute break in her work day so that she can have lunch with a friend. She’s a big believer in the little things in life and has never been able to afford what she wants, just as with any other child, it would be my dream to give back to her in any little way I can.

She and my uncle often entertain at their farmhouse, but I know that she also loves quality time with her girlfriends, so this Christmas, as I have her in our family’s grab-bag, one idea I have is to give her “A Day with the Girls,” which will comprise of tea cups and saucers, tea, chocolate chip cookie ingredients, Audrey Hepburn movies and perhaps nail polish and pedicure sets.

    These are all so gorgeous. I would love to give the banana split boats to my little sister. My mom had a set of these when we were kids, and banana splits were always Jessica’s favorite dessert.

    I would love to give my hostess-friend Syrus the BOHO Dinner Plates this holiday. Our circle of friends haven’t gotten together in almost a year due to my becoming a mom, so it’d be a great reason to have her throw a party!

    What beautiful designs!

    I would love to give the child’s tea set to my goddaughter for Christmas. I loved “making tea” as a child, and I know she’d have many sweet and silly tea parties throughout her childhood.

    Those 12 days of Christmas plates are so beautiful too!

    As a designer myself, I am inspired by the beautiful & exquisite designs Rosanna has to offer. I personally adore the Famille a Table dinnerware set, and the Cotswold holiday set (it’s so hard to pick just one!)

    My friend Jayme is also a designer. I know she would love to receive the Natura Tea for One set for Christmas.

    Due to my Mom’s shortage of glasses, and her endearing ability to “make do” with posterior-shaped cups, I tend to think that a set of Bon Voyage mugs, in particular, would make a suitable and much appreciated gift for her.

    Tonight, over the phone, I intentionally wandered onto the subject of dinnerware with my Mom–particularly *her* dinnerware. I was curious about all she had stored in her cupboards. We spoke of her chipped plates, and her smallish flimsy bowls, but right away the focus turned to the status and quality of her drinkware. The following is a highly stylized–yet fully fact-based–account of our “chalice and vessel” conversation:

    MOM: . . . [Speaking of her drinkware.] Yes, all the same color and design would be nice. Instead, they are all mismatched–there are pieces from different sets. We really don’t use *a* set.
    ME: Oh? What do you use, then?
    MOM: Well, you know, different things. For one, your Dad’s colossal Over the Hill beer mug, and then there’s the personalized photo mug we got at the mall–you know, the one with Nana’s face on it? A few colored Tupperware cups [i.e. the ones she's employed since I was a kid. The ones with melted-down rims and shallow, brown burn holes at the bottoms--victims of Dad's neglected cigarettes], and just some standard Working glasses. Oh, and the butt mug.
    ME: . . . Butt mug?
    MOM: Yes, remember, the mug that is flesh-colored and shaped like a butt from Spencer’s [gross-out novelty shop]? The one that says “Kiss my *!$%@#, I’m 40!”–another gift someone bought your Dad.
    ME: Wow, Mom.
    MOM: I know, I know. We don’t seem to have enough glasses around, so mostly we’ve been drinking out of the recycled tuna jars from the pantry.
    ME: Oh dear.

    It wasn’t just the thought of my Mom drinking out of ceramic asses that led me to conclude she needs these mugs. I also believe the Bon Voyage set befits her personality and a promise she and I hold to one another, a dream we hope to realize: that we will someday, somehow, travel together. Of all the many places and cities we desire to travel to, Paris and New York–two of the Bon Voyage destinations–are among the top favorites.

    My mother of course! She would love the Victoriana collection… especially the globe vase and pedestal bowl. I can imagine her with some lovely buds in the vase and cookies or treats in the bowl, on the tray along with some tea. It’s the little things that make everyday events like a cup of tea more special:)

    My sister would love the Boho Dinner plates. She is about to graduate college and needs some items something more mature but still fun for the new post-college phase of her life.

    I would love an additional set of the 12 day of Christmas plates to give to my MIL. She introduced the 12day of Christmas to me and loves anything to do with it. I have never seen plates before and I know she would love them!

    I’d give the wine tasting plates to our good friends who are finally (almost) finished building their house after nearly two years. They deserve it. I’d love the 12 days of Christmas plates for me though!

    There are so many sets that I love but it’s the Chelsea Flowers that I keep coming back to because I could see myself giving any of the pieces in the collection to many of the special people in my life. In the end, I think my Mom would love the dessert plates, though if I could, I would give her the whole collection.

    Oh my gosh! So many beautiful things to pick from! I think I would have to choose a set of red dots coffee cups–for my sis-in-law who makes a mean cup of Joe but has the saddest collection of miscellaneous cups you’ve ever seen!

    I would LOVE to be able to give my “baby” sister the Chelsea Flowers set. Our family has had a lot of obstacles over the past few years including the divorce of our parents, resulting money problems and a major illness. Despite this, she has managed to trudge through it all, finish school and finally land her dream job. She is moving into her first apartment next weekend and we are all sooo proud of her and her accomplishments.
    I know that this set would be a great way to remind her to take time for herself, enjoy being the girly-girl that she is and enjoy her accomplishments. :)

    The item: The adorable Cupcake Dessert Plates with sweet scalloped edge and hand-drawn design. To whom: My sweet friend, Sadie, in England. She is obsessed with cupcake things right now and would LOVE these for her afternoon teas!

I hope I win so she will see how much I appreciate all that she does for our family.
