That look speaks to me for me pink formica table and vintage kitchen. and it is SO Southern.

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.

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.
This [link] is ALMOST close enough. The tea cups were a more delicate shape and there were proper saucers for them as well as the sandwich plates. I think there might have been smaller bowls included, too. Also, the dishes were perfectly round. I think a slightly irregular shape is a deal-breaker, though.
Sigh.
Calamityware it is, then.

We got all our dishes through the power of msbelle-on-eBay.
And they still get compliments any time I post a food picture on FB.

Msbelle, that looks a lot like my grandmother's china, that my sister has. And my grandmother's name was also Marguerite.
