That Chanson kind of looks like mine from my grandmother: [link] But holy crap, if I ever need money, I guess I know where I'm getting it.

I'll probably be getting my parents wedding china. Which we only used for holidays. But it's nice. And my grandmother's unless my brother wants it. And mom just asked me if I want the silver plated coffee serving set they got from the Swedish side of the family. Not worth much, but I used to play with it and it's pretty. I need to find a glass fronted cabinet I like to put stuff like that and my Mexican pottery on proper display.
No swim today. Too many storms. I maybe had a window this morning, but I was cleaning.
Weird experience in Target later. Found a lady crying quietly in the aisle. Was not sure if I was being scammed or not, but decided early on I didn't care and the money was of no importance to me, while clearly it was to her, no matter what.. I did one Google search in a moment of something, and those facts bore out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh and a word on Replacements, they are SUPER expensive. look for your patterns on ebay.
My mom's china is 8 - 10X cheaper consistently on ebay.
My dishes are half the price on ebay.

Oh, so I won't be getting untold riches if I sell my grandmother's china? Good to know!
I texted my aunt to say how delicious the kim chi was, and -- I kind of thought this -- she was like, "Really? We had no idea what it was supposed to taste like!" Hee. They took a class.

I have china from when we got married link. But I really would like some new everyday dishes.

When my parents started cleaning out an old cabin they bought from my grandparents, they found a ton of 100 year-old Wedgwood china that my grandmother had stashed there decades ago and forgotten about. Not in perfect condition, but worth a lot more than most things you find in moldy cardboard boxes in the closet of a log cabin sinking that's sinking into a swamp!
I have dishes from Crate & Barrel that I love, but they chip really easily. (I can't find them online anymore, maybe that's why!) The bowls are giant with flat bottoms and are great for eating dishes that don't really require a bowl, but benefit from having an edge to push food up against, like pasta, or broiled fish over rice.
