Suddenly I've begun to feel the need. What's happening to me???
What's next?
I'm afraid.
I adjusted my corset, glanced through my lorgnette and spied it,
near this vignette:
(Thankfully the ceramic gnomes are safely locked behind glass. For our own safety, I'm sure.)
On the other side, a decoupaged Pekinese purse looked at me plaintively.Anyway, I ignored it all, and honed in my china.
What I'm going to do with it, I don't know, but the color is so pretty.
And the gold!
I'm a sucker for gold.
The tag said it's French, and about a hundred years old. There are a few saucers, one poor little cup, and a few salad plates. I've used them once, for cake. It made it look ever so posh.
Anyway, the whole shebang was $15.00, and takes up very little space, so I didn't feel too gilty.
Ha, get it? (sheesh...never mind)

To complete the dowager look, you'll need some antimacassars on the backs and arms of your chairs.

"You gonna finish eatin' dat, 'r what?"
no china???
turn in your pink card NOW.
Your going to march yourself over to replacements.com and look up the pattern and buy up the other pieces as time and money permit!
Meantime, slide the Glass Menagerie over to one slide and show these lovelies off.
And Kevin is quite right. One MUST collect china. I personally own four sets of good dishes!
Use them all of the time. They are beautiful.
