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.

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

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

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.

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).

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

I currently don't have any dishes. I had Phalzgraft set kthat was like the one I had growing up....Mom foudn it at a garage sale and got it for me.

But I realized I wanted new dishes and those things were heavy so I got rid of them.

And never found a set I liked. Well I found a Corelle set that by the time I decided those were the dishes they were out of stock almost everywhere and then the price jumped. So I bought a couple of Corelle plates and some pasta bowls and a cereal bowl and called it a day. They didn't make it from the move from Vermont but I think when I buy dishes again it will be Corelle. They are lightweight, they don't break easily and they don't take up much space in the cabinet.

I have my grandmother's wedding china packed up in Florida and one day I will have a cabinet and put those on display.

Yay! Great minds. I have settings for twelve as well, but I'm missing a few bowls and accent plates, and I'd like some more serving platters (I have one). I have an alert through ebay.

I'd really like something bright and colorful for every day. Something like this but not melamine. I'm ridiculously picky and just haven't found the perfect thing yet.

Can melamine dishes go through a dishwasher?

An author emailed just to tell me, "The proof revisions are in proof-revision.pdf." NO! I would've never guessed!
