Comments on: Lusting after dishware http://www.thismamacooks.com/2008/04/lusting-after-d.html Healthy recipes & lifestyle tips for busy moms & their families Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:36:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Claire Walter http://www.thismamacooks.com/2008/04/lusting-after-d.html/comment-page-1#comment-741 Claire Walter Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:35:58 +0000 http://localhost/wp_thismamacooks/?p=346#comment-741 I am an only child and have no first cousins, so I have fine china and sterling to feed a crowd. For everyday dishes, I used to have plain white -- Holiday (a seconds line from Arabia), six heftier bistro-weight dinner plates from IDG and misc plain white garage sale dishes, plus blue-rimmed small soup bowls and large patterned ones from a Peppercorn warehouse sale. A few years ago, my busband bought me a surprise Christmas gift: everyday service for eight (dinner plates, soup plates, bread plates, cups, saucers and a sugar/creamer set) from Villeroy & Boch in a pattern that probably isn't made anymore. The center is white, the rim is yellow and simple little orange, red, blue and green rectangles along the rim coordinate with a variety of placemats and tablecloths. It is so unlike him to select something like that -- and I was surprised and touched. We do use them every evening when we eat at home.
