My mom searched for years for the perfect set of dishes, and I remember clearly when she and Dad went together to buy the Tea Rose dishes that she had finally set her heart on. Those dishes were only used for birthdays and special occasions at our house, so they are very special in my heart. Now, they reside in a place of honor in her gorgeous built-in china cabinet, and are still pulled out for the special occasions in our family. Sigh. :-) Thanks for a wonderful smile.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436000954617741702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108917021368405521.post-14058147842599362009-11-05T13:33:39.260-08:002009-11-05T13:33:39.260-08:00Oh I can empathize Beth!

For now the square white plates are my everyday setting - quite modern but go well with my square table and food always looks good on them - I dress up the table with cloths, napkins, flowers and candles. I have one beautiful patterned dinner set my husband bought me which I treasure - this will be the one to go on my 'someday dresser!' I have to strongly resist the temptation to buy china and because I go to so many garage sales that is hard. I have left behind so many lovely sets but I do buy the occasional tea cup if it coordinates with the set my husband bought for me.Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.com
