My Fabulous Life - Tabletop Update

We are eating off the white bone china set I ordered a couple of months back and I wanted to give an update.  I love it!  I wish I had done this sooner.  The  plates and mugs are wonderful.  They are slim so a lot fits in a small space -- great when you have only one cabinet to store it all.  Their size also means filling the dishwasher is simple too.  No clunky mugs on the top level, slim plates below -- and when one piece hits another, they don't chip.  Once in the past, I had a set of Pfatlzgraf  that started chipping almost immediately.

I have to admit that we've had no fancy dinner opportunities to mix high and low -- but I hope to rectify that soon! We are being hosted for the holiday elsewhere today.  But we have had plenty of casual dinner guests and it's nice to have dishes you can dress up or down.  As for the white color, they have not shown any stains from coffee or food.  I am not getting scratch marks on them from stacking them and pulling them on and off the shelf every day.

Call me old fashioned and out of touch, but if anyone is registering for wedding gifts or setting up house and are registered for gifts, register for plain white bone china.  It will last a long time, it's practical and easy to care for -- as long as you don't get a metal trim that won't last in the dishwasher.

It sounds fancy-schmancy to eat of china every day, but nothing could be more sensible!
