Nice thread you have here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I need to get married, just for the presents.
SERIOUSLY.
Ann Taylor Loft just sent me an email with "8 November Must-Haves." Now, that one made me angry. Mostly because it included capri pants. You know I love the capris, but November is not capri season!! Although I did see two (TWO!) women today at lunch with capris and bare legs. It is not warm out there, people.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Well, to be honest I'll be ebaying a matching set of Samsonite Silhouette, three suitcases and a train case. We bought it new, but wound up using backpacks, duffles and sportsbags instead, so it's been stored.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I used to have matching luggage, but one of them perished in the cargo hold of a 747. It was a good death.
I have matching dishes - a discontinued Corelle pattern that I add to ever so often from eBay. I love Corelle; that stuff has made it through the last 20 years with only one breakage, and it still looks good. Flatware, though, I can't bring myself to shell out money just to have flatware that matches. All mine is random stainless in patterns I thought were pretty, cobbled together from thrift stores and yard sales. Doesn't matter that it doesn't match.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Flatware is another thing that is terribly cheap at TJ Maxx and the like.

Mine are from Ikea. I also have a fawncy set that comes in its own box. Haven't used it yet. It was a gift from the parents. As were the Ikea ones.

I kind of want new dishes and flatware. but it seems silly. I love Robin's fiestaware though.
