Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

There is a large set of Limoges with hand-painted pink rosebuds and gold rims that used to be my great-grandmother's. It could be mine, but I don't want it. Too fussy for me. It's my mom's for now.

DH and I are happy with our Fiestaware.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same! Except I have my grandmother's, and she went by Margot, but was actually named Marguerite.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Grandma Margurites for the win.

Other grandmother was Marjorie, she had a sister Marg who I think was actually a Margaret and the mom was Marjorie who had sisters: Marguerite, Maude, Minnie, and Mae.

My great aunt was Marguerite, but she went by Day. (Marguerite>Daisy>Day).

Her sister, my Nana, was the very Buffistaesque Grace Matilda.

I always wanted to name a child Daisy after my grandmother! But she would have thought that was ridiculous, because her name really was Margot.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

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

sj, we have the same china! My everyday dishes are these: [link] I have everything except the mugs. Setting for 12, and I've used them all at least twice (and not because I was too lazy to wash the dishes).

hip deep in pie

I have a great-Aunt Marguerite, who was called Auntie Mamie, and two Marguerite cousins.
