Katherine hosts this blog hop each week where participants share their favorite things....
Well, I am a sucker for dishes.... If storage was no problem I'd hate to think how many sets I would have.... sad to say however, that of all the sets I
do have, my wedding pattern is my least favorite, so I very rarely use them unless I am feeding an army ... since I have a set of 12....
I so much prefer the dishes we inherited from Lynn's mother.... I love the bolder color and the genteel look of them...
Then about 10 years ago I found a great set of 8 online that I used for Christmas, and other holidays just a very simple off white trimmed in gold.....
I do love these because they set a nice formal dinner at any
season in any mood!
A few years ago I fell in love with transferware and started seaching for the red odd pieces.... love to mix and match the English pattern...
Then I found The Herdsman in black, and my fickle heart was leaping for joy!
Then please , just dont let me near Marshall,s right after payday.... I have no will power.... the prices are just too tantalizing.
My everyday dinnerware is a simple white so useful in any mood and season as well...
Oh, the combinations are endless, but and that isn't even all the dishes I have.... but you get the idea! And I have inherited my mother's beautiful Apple dishes now where one earth can I store those!!!!
Your china is beautiful! I especially love the pattern of your mother in law and also the transferware patterns. I adore dishes too and have four sets of fine china and two sets of everyday china. I found three sets of my china on craigslist at a fraction of their worth and added to complete the sets through eBay or replacements limited.
