I remember my mom telling me the same thing, get it now, you won't later. I never wanted Waterford, but before I retired I bought myself 12 wines and 12 waters. I knew once I stopped working there would be no room in the budget for that!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323768335143979148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511667191387080514.post-50115750257077092102014-05-17T19:22:19.810-04:002014-05-17T19:22:19.810-04:00I was a seventies bride also.

How nice to have lived in Germany.<br /><br />I can see you are a flower lover like me too. Enjoyed another post seeing what's blooming in your garden.<br /><br />Sounds like we have a lot in common.

I love the pattern and I especially love the Easter setting with the green place mat. Very nice.<br /><br />Now about the china cabinet implosion. Oh my goodness dear lady, you have my complete sympathy. How heartbreaking to see your lovely treasured china lying their on the floor like that with the broken pieces strewn across the floor.<br /><br />But for the grace of God I nearly had the same disaster last week. I heard glass hitting glass in my dining room but when I went in there to see what the noise was I did not see anything obvious until I noticed the plates standing up in the back on one shelf of my china cabinet were all leaning towards each other. I did not comprehend what had happened for a few seconds while I stood their dumbfounded. The glass shelf had snapped in half from the weight of the plates I had placed there to use for a birthday party the next day. The glass shelf was resting on the stack of seasonal plates that were stacked beneath it on the wood base of the cabinet. They came to within a half inch of the glass shelf above so that when the glass snapped it only fell in slightly and caused the standing plates to roll into each other. If it were not for my spring china beneath the broken shelf I would have lost my crystal and the other plates. I immediately removed all of my china and crystal and only placed a few things back into the cabinets until I can afford to have some thicker shelves made. I will also be looking for a way to add more shelf support brackets to the back of the cabinets.

I love your china and enjoyed how you have used it differently throughout the years. My heart skipped a beat when I saw your hutch implosion! It's one of my biggest fears, living out in CA like I do! I would be heartbroken to lose my "pretties". You handled it well, and it is a blessing you weren't badly hurt.
