So, this morning I decided that I have been working getting my house cleaned out and such just way too much. I did something different. Have you heard of a website called "Replacements.com"? It turns out they are only about 160 miles from me. I left at 6:30.
I went in with a list of what I wanted and they had it! They had it all listed online but I did not want to trust it to Fed-Ex. I arrived about 9:30 and left for home about 10:15. I got back at 1:00. I almost ran out of gas, but when I filled up, it turns out I had enough in the tank to go another 100 miles. (I love my Prius).
So now have filled in and have a full service for 8. I needed the things in the picture, a few plates and a couple of bowls. I inherited the set from an aunt that died 35 years ago. It is Johann Haviland, Blue Garland. Not cheap, but worth it.
Tomorrow I will be gone all day again. I will be tatting. We have a meeting of the Palmetto Tatters Guild. I can't wait!
Very pretty china. We’re still using Corelle glass ‘china’ that the ex and I bought some 40 years ago!!! Have fun tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLets, see, me and six of your other friends can now sit down for dinner. Pretty blue flowers, great service.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to meet you at Tat Days. You are welcome for dinner any time you want to drop by. Just let me know and I will add a place at the table.
DeleteSo nice try buying a baby boop thing it rests you arms and gives shoulders a break but some times a beak is just needed
ReplyDeleteI remember hunting for my mom's plaid china years ago. We had great fun looking for it, and we were thrilled to find similar pieces. Thanks for sparking a memory! I have no idea what happened to that china.
ReplyDeleteI remember buying my own set from our local grocery. After buying groceries you accumulated points and if you had enough points, the dinnerware was very inexpensive. It was fun and I still have my service for 12.
ReplyDeleteIsn't completing a set of china fun? We found a batch of Noritake china we liked in a resale shop. The whole box was quite cheep! Then spent twice that amount filling in service for 12. Definately fun and rewarding!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend divorcing and starting over. I gave him a full set of Noritake to help out. It was a set I never used. Still have other Noritake that I do use now and then. Good stuff!
