Noritake!

A few years ago I posted an entry entitled "Life's Funny that Way."  I was selling off, donating, giving, or throwing away, much of my belongings.  My now ex-husband and I were moving to Eugene, moving from a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, fenced yard in the suburbs for a life living with roommates, not in our house, but in their house.  This is a link to that post:

And after moving one…two… three… four times… and then after one more move, I have considered myself settled here in Rupert, Idaho.

I used to collect dishes of all kinds: jadeite, Mikasa vintage, Mikasa china, Fireking Lustreware, etc.  Then I gave all that up, and good thing because who wants to move all that crap over and over?

But then the other day I found my new set of china.  Have a gaze.  I'm in love:

Noritake Progression China Up - Sa Daisy

I cried when I found it and it's not because it's just stuff.  I cried because it means I get to host carefully crafted Thanksgiving and other dinners, teas, and make a cup of coffee special on a weekend again.  So now I have 37 pieces (purchased for the low, low price of $30).  May the collecting begin!

    It's gorgeous! I love it!

    And I remember that last post. I cried when I read it and was so impressed with what you were doing to make things work out! And see now you have beautiful BEAUTIFUL china again.

    I'm thinking you need napkins or something to match...so is it more eggshell blue or teal?

    Thanks for remembering and being there and all of that. The blue… more toward the eggshell blue than teal. The pictures just don't do them justice. Now I just have to figure out where to put them! :)
