I could relate to Melissa Stanton's reference in your newsletter that dining on fine china does not reflect the way most of us live.
ReplyDeleteI inherited and acquired some lovely items that would have created a beautiful table, but discovered, as she did, that they didn't fit my lifestyle.
I kept the fond memories of family dinners, but let the dishes and glassware go.
Still clinging to the fancy flatware, however, and it does get trotted out on rare occasions!
And I have some lovely glassware, gifts over the years from a dear friend, and they do get used. And sometimes a piece gets broken, and that's to be expected.
ReplyDeleteBut I have no fine china or fancy flatware, and never did. My mom never had any, either, so there was no inheritance issue there.
