So many things to purchase....so little money.<BR/><BR/>My friend Kirsten has some and it's great - she pops it in the dishwasher and it has a great patina. I wish I could put my silverplate in the dishwasher. <BR/><BR/>See? That's why I need the sterling. Because i can't put the silverplate in the dishwasher!<BR/><BR/>xoxox,<BR/>mvzMarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782925951300369029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-70649693987898212702008-05-12T18:07:00.000-04:002008-05-12T18:07:00.000-04:00Not for nothing, and it may seem a 'cheap' thing t...Not for nothing, and it may seem a 'cheap' thing to some, but I got my son and d-i-l a gorgeous set of Reed and Barton on QVC! They have many patterns of 18/10 stainless...NOT sterling, but it is heavy and so beautiful. Could be an inexpensive way to get a whole set to use as you save to get the SPECIAL set a little at a time! <BR/><BR/>The kids may want to go to Harvard, ya know! <BR/><BR/><BR/>Lynne D.adsgramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873332490595482202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-79156738893129227912008-05-10T12:30:00.000-04:002008-05-10T12:30:00.000-04:00I love those dishes!

It came with so many extras like serving pieces, steak knives and soup spoons. The box says R&B Everyday. I didn't realize they were Reed & Barton until I got them home. I could not believe what a great deal it was! If you have a Marshall by you, you may want to look there! Gosh...Marshalls should start paying me!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16995116580320608776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-42964231785403080522008-05-08T09:51:00.000-04:002008-05-08T09:51:00.000-04:00I understand your pain...we were all out of spoons...I understand your pain...we were all out of spoons..I put them in my DH lunches when we ran out of plastic ones. Well somehow they always got lost. I had bought some cute blue gingham from Target years ago..but they were getting faded. So I thought when I come across a decent set I'll buy it. Well I did...at Homegoods. They are silver with beading all around the handles and there is like 500 pieces in the set..I had to get more silverware dividers and take over another drawer in the kitchen to fit them all. They are very cute..simple but cute and could be dressed up or not. I paid like 79.00 dollars for whole set..that is the best part.Gabrielle Maderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789217163212189595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-70251635247501819472008-05-08T00:11:00.000-04:002008-05-08T00:11:00.000-04:00Great post!!I love those antique white dishes!!Great post!!<BR/><BR/>I love those antique white dishes!!Sabinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289114941414019127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-25076961908704038062008-05-07T21:02:00.000-04:002008-05-07T21:02:00.000-04:00Check out this 90 piece set available at Horchow.....Check out this 90 piece set available at Horchow... $159...<BR/><BR/>http://www.horchow.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=cprod1660380&ecid=HCSGTHotel_Flatware<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-86159085618468863622008-05-07T17:43:00.000-04:002008-05-07T17:43:00.000-04:00Love your new dishes.

Love them! <BR/><BR/>Oh! and I must have great taste, too, lol...everything I love is expensive...I'm just drawn to those things...go figure. The PB silver/flatware is gorgeous as all of the pieces you showed are. I love the simplicity of them and the monogram. We were fortunate to inherit my husband's great aunt's silver ware...it is so simple...but it has her initial on it...It's a "V"...not our initial...but I love them just the same! I think they are about 80 or so years old...they are a lovely work of art...I will always cherish them...but I would like to add my own silverware with our initials one day, too...would love to find some that coordinate with the ones that were hers.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing...blessings...<BR/>TereaLivingTheLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471996311329520781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-65220964674199799952008-05-06T11:43:00.000-04:002008-05-06T11:43:00.000-04:00LOVE those dishes!

At my house this is what we call your "one thing leads to another"<BR/><BR/>I especially like it when you go and get some new sheets for your bed, find the most fab design- but it dosent match a thing in the bedroom. So you go to Lowes and get paint, which certainly clashes with the carpet... ugh! The life of a serious style maven...ha ha <BR/><BR/>Your china is great. I can see why you chose them. Me? Mikasa Satin Gown, totally deco- and totally not me (now) but I do love them.Even though they very seldomly get used- which is a pity because I received, like every piece. 18 years really changes a girl.<BR/>Its me- out at the beachSeaWorthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935942280970143687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-18137541256670076652008-05-06T02:02:00.001-04:002008-05-06T02:02:00.001-04:00Love love love that PB Flatware.
