It's your home, your kitchen, your table. Why shouldn't you have it the way you want it? I mean, would you tell someone who loves, Loves, LOVES Blue Willow Ware s/he was being a special delicate little flower for having what s/he loves and passing on Fiesta Ware? It's when you have to bring you own mug to someone else's home and cannot enjoy the charm of the mismatched Mom & Pop diner that you are a special delicate flower.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I am a special delicate flower who hates Tim's mismatched, chipped, bachelor plates. I admit it.
AND THE ELEPHANT.
t edit But it's not like he went to flea markets and antique malls and chose each one for its unique quirky awesometasticness. They're the plates he ended up with after the divorce and then supplemented with plates from Goodwill. All of which have gotten chipped and nasty after 10 years.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Someone out there would LOVE a giant blue elephant statue! In fact, I probably would, depending on what it looks like. You should sell it and use the proceeds to buy something else cool.
Not a printing press or other large machinery, though.

Sweet Italian Jesus, he is insisting on trying to print our invitations. Last night he sat down and figured out what the deadline would be for us to order invitations, so he knew how much time he had from now until then to try to print them.
He gets until Memorial Day.

I don't own a single plain white dish.
Neither do we. We're color sluts.
And our coffee cups are all nerd badges with a Nillyvisit mug (with Pete illo.), Nightmare Before Xmas, Edna Mode, David Bowie, some pretty vintage poster art, etc.

My plates are of the "Hm, we're down to less than five, I wonder what's on sale at Target/WalMart or what looks decent at the thrift store?" pattern.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I really would like a new set of plates, but all the boxed place settings come with mugs. We definitely do not need more mugs.

Always Anti-fascist!
We do have white ones(and were nerdily psyched when Ted from QE said they were the best showcase for food) But my most recent purchase like that was old-fashioned glasses with palm trees on them.

Tea: The closest thing I have to white dishes is the china we registered for when we got married. link The reason we ended up with that one was because I loved the accent plate so much link.

My OTDishes are smooth white porcelain (as in when you hold it up to a light, the light glows through) with a thin silver border. I got the set for $7 at a garage sale when I was in college. It had started out as service for eight, and when I got it, there were two dinner plates with no chips. Beautiful and delicate. I left 'em behind in Ohio. I will never love another set of dishes the way I loved them. And anything that resembles but is not quite right... well, I might just as well go with the Fiesta Ware.
