I wish he had thought to bring back some china! I always love to see tables featuring china and silver passed down to another generation. When I set a table with my grandmother's wedding china, I feel a close connection to her and wonder if one day my granddaughter or great-granddaughter will enjoy using it, too.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979113683683598684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820469895385780659.post-74344533173313478032013-02-20T22:42:31.197-05:002013-02-20T22:42:31.197-05:00You sure did, Patti!

Isn't amazing how the dear old pieces work so beautifully with the young whippersnappers that we bring home from here and there. You've reminded me of a set of my grandmama's 'Occupied Japan' china that I've been neglecting. I think that it's going to make an appearance before long, too. Thanks for the mention and for inviting us for a peak.

I had a full Noritaki Dinner/tea set which only came out of the cupboard on special occasions. I decided when my daughter married to give the set to her to use as I knew that she loved it, and would use it everyday. She has been married for 10 years now and do you know there has only been the odd piece broken. When I visit, it is lovely to see the china being used, rather than being tucked away. <br />Enjoy your weekend.<br />Best Wishes<br />DaphneIvy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.com
