There’s nothing like accidentally dropping a fragile plate or spilling a full cup of coffee on yourself to immediately bring you back down to Earth. One might even say it’s a human rite of passage. No matter what great lengths we go to avoid the inevitable, it’s more than likely that we’ll be humbled at some point and reminded that we’re only human, after all. Whether it’s a matter of carelessness or simply just dumb luck, there’s no avoiding the experience and no way to prepare for it—so might as well accept it when it comes.
Of course, acceptance doesn't make it any easier, and walking around with a coffee-stained shirt all day is less than our idea of fun. But a quick adjustment in perspective can allow you to see the opportunity in the chaos, and you might even be surprised by what you find. Is it a coffee-stained shirt, or is it really just an opportunity to go shopping? Is the glass really shattered, or can it be turned into an art piece? See, it’s simply a matter of changing your mind.
Once you’ve changed your mind, you might even be able to see the broken mess of dinnerware shards on your kitchen floor as an opportunity, too. Broken plates mean you’ve got to buy more, and if you’ve got to shell out a wad of cash for dishes anyway, might as well choose some cute ones, right?

Thankfully, if you do happen to be in the market for a new set of plates due to unexpected breakage, @costcodealsonline gave us a look at an ultra-cute 12-Piece Porcelain Set from over&back, and we’re so obsessed, we might just break a few plates on purpose.
This gorgeous alabaster white set features four place settings, including four 10.5-inch dinner plates, four 7.9-inch salad plates, and four 5.95- x 2.95-inch cereal bowls. The entire collection is also microwave and dishwasher-safe, making it an incredibly durable option to replace any of your more delicate sets of dinnerware. Beyond their durability, though, this stunning set features an elegant and soft-ridged design similar to a Pottery Barn style that allows your culinary masterpieces to become the centerpiece of the plate. Seriously, these plates can make your macaroni salad look like a literal work of art.
Even more enticing than their showstopping good looks, of course, is the incredible price of just $19.97 for the entire 12-piece set. If you’re working out the math in your head, that comes to just about $1.66 per piece! As great a deal as this is, it’s worth mentioning that the typical price for the set is $34.99, and @costcodealsonline mentioned finding the set on clearance at their local Costco in Issaquah, Washington.
While you may want to call ahead before setting your sights on this particular set, one thing we’re sure of is that Costco has plenty of other beautiful dinnerware options just waiting to be discovered.
