I don't mean to make you all jealous, but...
I got Charley Harper plates for Christmas. A wonderful surprise.
[1/4/08 update: If you decide you need Charley Harper dishware, this pattern is called "Harper's Harvest" and is manufactured by Tag. You can get the cup and saucer set that matches my plates here, on sale now. The full product line is available from TAG here. And I discovered that Tag has a secret, hidden outlet store at 1730 West Wrightwood Avenue in Chicago. We were out and about yesterday and stopped in. They have four or five of the serving bowls, one platter, and one table runner in stock. And some great modern furniture, on an unrelated note, if you're looking for a coffee table, side table, or chairs.]

Those are really beautiful!
Yep, I'm jealous too.
Wow, you are so lucky.
Wow! I NEED these!
Beautiful :)

can I have them??? SO beautiful!
ok, I'm not even sure how I found your blog, but now I am addicted. Love your posts and links and fun stuff!
Ooh, I am jealous! But in a good way... if that makes any sense :)
Awwww - lucky! I am seriously drooling on my keyboard!
You should grab a napkin or something.
Lucky girl,
I have always admired Charleys' work and have the Betty Crocker cookbook he illustrated. Such a happy style had he.
Happy New Year, Jess.

I LOVE those plates. I'm trying to not covet at this very moment.
Was it someone who reads your blog? A family member? Who?
I'm trying not to turn green as well. :)
Love the plates...I'm stunned, I've seen his work but never knew who he was or anything about him--thanks for the link. How nice to put a face to a style I really like.
They were in (rather, next to) my Christmas stocking at my grandma's house. Turns out a couple of my aunties found them in a shop in North Carolina and thought of me! Quite a stocking gift!
wow. thanks for introducing me to this gifted man. I am now obsessed with his work. I LOVE IT. Oh, and I love your plates too. Happy new year!
PS your aunts rock
those plates are stunning! I had to google and now I have a new name for a familiar favorite artist. lucky lucky lucky!
Wicked Jealous!
FYI, there's a cup & saucer set on sale at wrapables - set of 4 for $26.99 (+s/h). Matches your plate set - top/left image.

YEAH! Jealous I AM!... Charley Harper Xmas indeed!!!
The man is multi-talented! Illustrator AND one of the great jazz saxophonists of our time; is there anything he couldn't do?
Or am I thinking of someone else?
I'm from Cincinnati, so I grew up with images of Charley's work all around me. He did posters for the Cincinnati Nature Center and you could buy his prints at the gift shop there. We always had them in my house growing up. It's kind of fun to have someone you always loved and knew about finally getting all the attention he deserves. Thankfully that began before he died and he was able to enjoy it, though I don't think he was really the kind of guy who cared about being in the spotlight! Enjoy your plates, they are beautiful!
Mahan, maybe that's Charlie Parker?
Thanks, Joanne!
Nice! Those plates are stunning and I AM jealous!
Those are so pretty. And I am jealous, haha!

Thanks for the tip on Wrapables. I'm a big Harper fan and just ordered some of those.
Oh, cute and wonderful!! Love it!
Beeootiful, you lucky thing!
That's fine! I see they've also made it onto the Elle Decoration, South Africa blog. Hi, Heather Moore!
I'm jealous, too. I may have to track down some for myself...
