Bubbles of Love: Professing my Affection for this Mikasa “Love Story” Dinnerware...$288 Giveaway~ 2/4



I have been coveting this beautiful, Porcelain Dinnerware Set by Mikasa for quite some time. This set really “speaks to me”. It just oozes “Romance”. Even though I have been married to the “Love of my Life” for almost (10) years now; there is always room for a little more romance. I’m not just speaking of those once in the while occasions when everyone feels compelled to acknowledge their love and affection for one another. I am talking about (day-to-day) reminders. That is, exactly, where this artistic and romantic Dinnerware set comes in. Who wouldn’t want to display these timely pieces each and every day?


In my opinion; there is nothing as sophisticated and elegant as these charismatic, yet whimsical hearts scrolled onto this white porcelain Dinnerware set. The loopy heart design, is placed with purpose (although it looks random in nature) across the “Love Story” 5-Piece Place Settings from Mikasa. I must admit; I have always been a Mikasa Fan. In fact; I have been purchasing their product line for many years, as gifts for all occasions. Yes; I have excellent taste in gifts, as well as, a lot of happy gift recipients.


This particular set is very popular among Brides-to-Be and it is often included in their Bridal Registries; for good reason. The quality is exactly what one would expect from the Mikasa Branding. The sparkling platinum rim that encircles this set defines the edge without being overpowering. The more I look at this set; the more I just love it! Of course; I already know about the quality and consistency that Mikasa offers so I could be influenced, a little, by that.


Mikasa’s “Love Story” 5-Piece Place Setting includes a Dinner Plate, Salad Plate, Bread and Butter Plate, Teacup and Saucer. The MSRP for the 5-Piece Setting is $72.00. The MSRP for the 20-Piece Set (4) 5-Piece Place Settings is $288.00. Note: there are additional pieces that you can purchase to accompany and complete this set including a Vegetable Bowl, Fruit Bowl, Oval Platter, Creamer, Covered Sugar Bowl, Tea Server, additional Mugs and Tea Cups, and a Charger. I am sure that there was something that I missed; but you get the picture. There are more than enough options and combinations available to customize your table and display, as you wish.


This Dinnerware set is hand washable; which is exactly how you should treat your finer sets. I would never recommend putting porcelain into a dishwasher. You would just be risking losing something that (I know) you will cherish. As I have always said; “If it is worth spending the money to purchase a beautiful set of dishes; it is equally worth taking the time to wash them by hand”. I do own a dishwasher; but I will never place this set into it. I just couldn’t stand the thought of something happening to any part of this amazing Mikasa Dinnerware Set. I’ll treat them with respect and give them the appropriate care, and they in turn will provide many years of day-to-day enjoyment and a touch of romance to our meals.


I want to thank the kind folks at Mikasa for supplying this Review Set and also another 20-Piece, 4 Place Setting (5-Pieces/each) of this beautiful and romantic Dinnerware to be offered in a Giveaway; to one of our lucky readers. The Mikasa “Love Story” Dinnerware Collection can be found at all fine retailers. You can either go directly to one of those stores, or purchase your pieces online. Either way; I hope that you enjoy them, as much as I know I will enjoy this set.


This is such an easy way to say “I Love You” with every dish that you serve.
I know that you put a “little love” into all of those wonderful dishes that you create. Why not display your meals on a Dinnerware set that is, truly, an extension of that love? Happy Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Wedding Day and Everyday…..



One lucky Momma Told Me follower will win a 20 PC (4 Person Place Setting) of Mikasa's "Love Story" Dinnerware (a $288 value)!
