My fancy china

First we bought the big dining room table, and then we got a buffet. Now we've got the china to put put both to use! My mom's been after me to take her Royal Doulton wedding china for years [oops, turns out she didn't have wedding china; this was purchased by my mom in 1979], but until this road trip, we'd had no way of getting the service for 12 from Virginia to Illinois.

I just unpacked the dishes, which have been in storage for years--probably at least since I was in high school. And only one dish (a salad plate) was broken.

Your picture doesn't load. Sorry about the broken plate. And it wasn't my wedding china (I had none). I bought it myself in around 1979.

Lovely! We did get wedding china, but it's been in storage just about as long as your moms. Our new house will be better suited for entertaining than our old one was, so I'm hopeful it will get some use. If not, I'll listing some quality items on Craigslist.
