white delivered...

This was waiting for me  last night.

My husband really wanted to know 

what was in the box.

dishes

Yes, 42 pounds of dishes.

not just any dishes...

(have I told you how much I love dishes)

I called in the help to unwrap

just like christmas

Here they are...I'm so excited.

I've been collecting these for a few years

It started a few years back when 

Gayle and I split a set we won on ebay.

 My family has grown 

and it's time to add to the set.

This set was on ebay.

45  pieces...less than $3.00/pc.

I think the serving pieces alone are worth what I paid.

I took a chance 

and bid

and won!

Now buying dishes on ebay does have its risks.

Once I had a box of 8 plates arrive 

and every single plate was broken.

Some even have that beautiful crazed and stained  look.

These arrived

 and 

were perfect.

They are stored

here, there and everywhere.

I think for Mother's Day 

I'm going to ask for a built-in china cabinet.

I have just the spot in mind...
