We need to use the good china, smell and look how we want to and smell the roses along the way! Even our fabric collections reflect succulence! Thanks for inspiring others!<br />Suesuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532365475460496894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88021084804862936862009-11-09T15:15:53.931-05:002009-11-09T15:15:53.931-05:00Remember, nobody is better than your own family, s...Remember, nobody is better than your own family, so use your dishes and enjoy them.

She might just brush up on her skills though, and dust the serger off, if she knows there's any type of napkin demo in the offing.

I once broke a bunch of my Mom's good china dishes when I was about 8 years old. I felt really sad about that. A few years ago (I'm 51 now!) I found a box of odd pieces of THAT set of China at a yard sale. I bought them, brought them to my Mom and paid my debt :-). My Mom was thrilled..there were even a few pieces that she never bought so that was fun.<BR/><BR/>Jacqui in CanadaJacqui's Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377061976067861699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-12737679692623994422008-01-07T21:46:00.000-05:002008-01-07T21:46:00.000-05:00Don't cut up those fat quarters yet--use them to w...Don't cut up those fat quarters yet--use them to wrap that china for moving. That's especially helpful if your spouse doesn't know just how much stash you have. (Don't ask me how I know that.) And use that china--everyday if you want to. Someday (in the verrrry distant future), your children will be going through your things and they can either say, "Oh, I remember how she loved this china!", or they can say, "Hmmmm, wonder where this came from. I don't remember it." <BR/><BR/>Your choice!Stephanie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613883248899266708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-56856841434728911522008-01-07T17:38:00.000-05:002008-01-07T17:38:00.000-05:00Oh baby!

I remember that we used evey week on Sunday for dinner after church. And then I thought--I need to USE this china, just like you said. So now we two use it for Sunday breakfast, to mark Sunday as a special day. We often don't have dinner on Sunday becausse my DH is an Episcopal priest--doean't get home until 2:00 or later, and then has a supper meeting at 5:00.<BR/><BR/>I am TRYING to remember to use it whenever I have company, even one person. Why not honor a guest with the best I have?<BR/><BR/>I also inherited my parents' sterling silver, and I TOTALLY forget about it, because I'm not used to having it. Thanks for the reminder to use that also.<BR/><BR/>What better time am I waiting for?<BR/>Both of my children already have inherited china from grandparents on the "other" side of in-laws, so who is going to want this? Maybe no one. Again, I should use it and enjoy it myself.<BR/><BR/>Sara HomeyerSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208479319934460737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-3336529842527463902008-01-06T15:46:00.000-05:002008-01-06T15:46:00.000-05:00Go to Replacements Limited website.
