[Photo courtesy of Macy's]I never thought it would happen to me . . . I never thought I would be obsessed with and delighted by . . . of all things, dishes! But, Oh. My. Gosh. I love these dishes! I happened to find a couple of the plates on sale at a huge discount. I called other stores looking for more and found one more plate. Then I went back to the store and bought some of the soup bowls and footed bowls (also on sale at a big discount). Aren't they so cute!! While they are festive and kind of Christmasy, they don't have a tree or wreath on them, so I think I can use them at any time of the year. And my everyday dishes are white, so I can mix and match easily (at least I think I can)! I just love the red and white! Of course, everyone in Nebraska loves red -- you can't live in this state without loving red!! So, if you see any of these dishes in your area and especially if they are on sale, let me know, ok!?! In case you need to know the actual name, they are Fitz and Floyd, Town & Country pattern.
The only reason I can think of that I have become a bit crazy about dishes lately is that I recently used some of my Great Aunt's dishes. Using them brought back all kinds of memories about my Great-Aunt Carrie and what a character she was (i.e., she had her ears pierced when she was about 75 years old!) and I couldn't help but think and talk about her after I'd used her dishes. And, I hope someday that perhaps my dishes will cause someone to think and speak kindly of me too.
In other news, the Hub got me absolutely, the most perfect gift for Christmas this year! Can you guess what it is?? Yes, it has something to do with being "warmer." No, not a vacation to a warmer place (though that would be an awesome gift) or a fab new winter coat, he had seat warmers installed in my jeep!! I've always been a bit jealous that his vehicle had seat warmers. I think I commented just recently that my big red jeep would be perfect if only it had some too. And so, that's what I got! It's not so terrible to love something that keeps a girl's bootie warm, now is it?!?! ;)
