Glad to hear it, Jilli.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay, for the good news, Jilli. Continued ~ma to your friend.
Wonderful news, Jilli.
Deena, I'm sorry about the bad morning. And Susan, the thing about babies is that they grow out of stages pretty fast. The other thing about babies is that the pleasant stages seem to zip by, and the unpleasant ones seem to linger. I'm sorry for the stress.
From Plei's first link, I want this. Isn't it lovely? What I actually have, is this. Which is quite pretty, but not as lyrical. I do love the sterling rims, though, rather than yellow gold. The shapes of the cups and other holloware are the same as in Plei's first link. Paragon is a subsidiary of Doulton.
Oh, Jilli, I'm so glad.
And I forgot to say go you! to sj, and wish that all goes well for the move and the meeting.
Hurrah, Jilli!
Yay! Good news, Jilli. -Ma continued.
ETA: Oh Jilli, such good news.
I have been collecting teacups for a while, since just before I went to England for the first time in 1998. I started collecting them when I became totally obsessed with tea and afternoon tea traditions. I was packing some of them last night, and I have way too many.
My mother (and JZ's, as I recall from a time when this came up before) had a teacup shower when she married my dad, so she had a lovely collection. In addition to those, my sibs and I have also inherited her china, her mother's china, her great-aunt's china, and at least one other set that noone's been quite able to place. So the question becomes, can one have too much china?
One of the patterns that I have an incomplete (I think) set of is this: [link] , which I'm quite fond of.
hooray, Jilli's friend! That's wonderful.
I forgot to mention, I was in a meeting this morning with a client and I looked at the woman sitting next to me, and her mug said, "Wolfram & Hart Law Firm." I pointed and said, "nice mug." She looked all conspirital and said, "Oh, you're a fan!" It was awesome. buffy/angel fans in all sorts of places.
Baby has been put in her crib, instead of the playpen right next to our computers where she normally naps. She's still screaming, and we check on her every few minutes (DH being home from work with a cold), but this way it's a little easier on the bp.
