The one question I've been asked over all others...

Throughout our Juliska event (ending today - it's your last chance to partake in the gift with purchase and other goodies!), the one question that I've been asked more than any other is how Juliska weathers and wears over time. Here's what I've learned: nothing gives something a run for its money like kids and dogs. I've found that this applies to so many things -- dishes, duvet covers, couches, sanity...

I've had my Juliska bamboo dishes since 2011. Aside from one broken plate (which I dropped right on our ceramic tile floor, it never had a chance), my set is still complete and unscathed.

We try to eat together as a family as much as possible, which means we also serve our almost-2-year-old her meals off of our Juliska pretty much every single day as well. The side plate is perfectly sized for her smaller meals. The ramekins are just right for running around. The berry bowl used to be perfect for purees. Even with her love of making music with silverware and place settings, and her ability to tell us that she is all done by throwing her plate around, our Juliska has held its own. When Alice is finished, the plates are pushed to the floor where our dogs down any remaining scraps, and then they're relegated to the dishwasher.

I'm sure Juliska will break, crack and chip eventually. But I've found that it will take quite a beating before it gets to that point. The pieces are beautiful (I truly and thoroughly enjoy eating off of them every day), and they are absolutely meant to be used.

Whether you're contemplating wedding, dining, or entertaining, Juliska IS quite possible the most beautiful (and durable) tableware in the world.
