Lusting after dishware

my pizzaMy every day dishes are the Autumn Leaf pattern by Franciscan by Glading, McBean & Co. And if you've seen my food photos, like this odd pairing of kiwi and pizza (what was I thinking?) you've seen my dishes!

The Autumn Leaf pattern was made in the mid-'50s, and they've held up very well. (Yes, I put them in the dishwasher.) I have dozens of the bowls and smaller plates and enough dinner plates for a large sit down meal. But there are pieces I never get down from the cupboard, like the matching mugs, which I paid $35-50 each.

Lusting after dishware is a genetic thing for me. My mom had special bowls for fish soup, and special plates for eating steamed artichokes. So you'll understand when I occasionally indulge in some online dishware porn - fancy china, crystal, and dinnerware.

The Martha Stewart in me comes out for a second until I realize how much good dishes cost. But that's o.k. because it makes me feel less guilty about buying that $50 Autumn Leaf Teapot a few years back.
