White China

You really can't go wrong with white china. It's a timeless classic. My love affair with white china started a
million years ago when my husband and I were first dating.. he gave me a set of white dishes for my birthday. A complete set with bowls, teapot, plates of all sizes, everything.  I cherished this unique gift even after we went our separate ways... and somehow I kept those dishes all through the years, adding to the collection with a few new pieces I found along the way. Today we are reunited and still eating off that starter collection and all the pieces we've acquired. There is something about a cupboard full of mismatched white dishes of all kinds. It's just charming. A good set of dishes tells a story just like the walls of an old house. Dinner with friends, breakfast on Christmas morning, hot tea in the winter, burnt toast, an extra bowl of pregnancy craving ice cream, the whole bit. Love me some white china!
