We are firm believers that even fancy china should be used for everyday! Better used and appreciated then tucked away in boxes. Try a making a sandwich for lunch and putting it on a “fancy” dish. Let us know if it tastes better!

I never had an affinity to dishes. When I was growing up, my family ate off of cheap melamine plates. Mom had “good china” that she had gotten for her wedding, but it was packed away and never used. Same with the utensils – we used stainless flatwear in a very plain pattern and never touched the “good silver.”

After Mom died, I discovered her hoard of “good” serving items – the “china,” so carefully packed away in fitted and padded slipcovers, was Corelle, and the “silver” was just a fancier stainless pattern.

I have real china and real silver, but I seldom entertain so never use the stuff. And my house has little or no storage space, so there’s no room for fancy serving platters or little dishes (although I have a few).

Hmm…seems like I should write my own blog post on the topic, eh?

Heidi, I still have those chipped dishes. They are still waiting to be re-purposed into a table or to be stuck into a garden pot. I remember too many a salad shared together…along side a big glass of your perfected iced tea!

I remember during one our organizing frenzies, I tried to get you to part with a stack of chipped, yet beautiful dishes. You had big plans to create a mosaic table out of them. I hope you kept them, I can’t remember. Sorry, some things are just too good to purge. Oh, BTW, your empty-out-the-fridge-of-leftovers-salads are the best! I was just fondly recalling them.

A lovely gesture. A beautiful post. I love pretty dishes too. I do. They do tell a story and the hunt for them at yard sales and thrift stores is always a pleasure and an adventure!

Dishes are like people…they all get to be different and treasured!! The more “styles” the merrier I say!
