stuff not to do
I believe I've established that I never wanted my mother's china.
But I also didn't want to break it. And while putting it in those cabinets, as I was pushing tacks into the shelf to hold the plates, the pins holding the shelf let go, and it fell, as did the shelf below.
That's two dinner plates in little itty-bitty pieces, and one badly chipped and cracked. Three gone, out of eight. Oh, and one of great-Grandma's Bavarian serving platters.
So it was off to Replacements.com, to the tune of $14.99 per plate for these. Plus shipping.
For dishes I never wanted in the first place.

DOH!
Very pretty china. Simple, yet elegant.
That looks a lot like my great-grandmother's china. My mother used to pull it out at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
My sister has that china, now.
Don't throw the pieces out! You can mosaic a flower pot or something with them! It's easy!
