A few month's ago I <a href="http://cravenmaven.com/2011/01/modern-royal-commemorative-plates/">wrote about</a> the changing face of the good ole' Royal commemorative plate. The people at <a href="http://www.livingetc.com/">Living Etc</a> have taken things one step further by commissioning eight designers to create a unique royal plate to be auctioned off for the benefit of the housing and homelessness charity <a href="http://england.shelter.org.uk/">Shelter</a>.

With designs by Donna Wilson, Jonathan Adler and People Will Always Need Plates to name a few, the hardest choice isn't how much to bid but which plates to bid for.  UK residents have until April 29th to decide - mail closed bids to ivingetcplates@ipcmedia.com with the name of the designer of choice in the subject line. Payment will require a paypal account.

I really like the designs by Willson and Adler...any UK residents who want to buy me a gift feel free to bid one either of these two for me :)

Bon Chance to all who participate!
