On Friday afternoon, while taking Adam to the book store, I stumbled into Stokes and celebrated my newfound economic maturity by purchasing these:
Let me just say (as it ALWAYS is with me), I absolutely loved these in the store. Loved, loved, loved. Once I got them home and they were washed & put in their temporary home that is my cupboard, all I could think was 'whatever.....they'll do for a few months'.
p.s. If you're wondering (you're probably not) why this dish set didn't come with mugs, well, they did - I just have no room for them, so they never even left the box. Allow me to show you a few shelves in my cabinet... You see, I have a weakness for mugs as well...
Help.

Lucky girl. I have tendonitis so my dishes come from the Corelle line (because they are light and easier for me to manage.) I can proudly say that we've been using the same set of dishes for 12 or so years. They need replaced, ahh a girl can dream. I love living vicariously through you! :)
OMG, I think we may be soul sisters....for I to have a problem or should I say, no problem spending money. Part of my problem is that I love to buy things for other people. Just yesterday, I put back three things that I wanted to buy. That's a good thing, right. Ofcourse, I didn't put back several more items that I didn't really need. I do have Rue's Valentine's Day presents bought...and I bought more craft stuff...OK, OK, I have a problem.
Cris: Vaughn keeps saying that one of these days he's hoping for me to show up with Corelle - they're his favorite - I do agree that they are WAY lighter and they don't break!!! Stoneware weighs a ton - I had the edge chipped off one of the new plates in less than a minute after it was out of the box. Who knows, maybe someday it will be Corelle, and I'll keep them forever?
Nett: Yes, you do have a problem. Nice to know it's not only me. hahahah I constantly fill up my shopping cart & remove stuff all over the store - that shows some kind of restraint, doesn't it?
I have no problem spending money either. The only problem is I have no money!
I look at stuff, want it, and then think, "Just where am I going to store that?" I swear, this shack can't fit in any more stuff. My fear of clutter trumps the buy it impulse every time. I'm no fun.
dh: You know what I'd love? To live somewhere like you live - you go on the greatest road trips - I think that would be more fun than shopping!
sue: you see, I don't look at it that way - I used to be a hoarder years ago, but my house is pretty small, so when I buy new stuff, I just give the old stuff away.
Darlene... you've never been a hoarder! hahaha
The dishes are cute. Which set did you have before? I can't keep up with you and your everchanging dishes.
(My compter is working today! or at least right now. yay!)
Clearly, if I'm to make any progress in the shopping dept, I must first learn to let go. Enjoy your lovely new dishes.
