Sometimes it DOES pay to check your email!

Right now our dinnerware consists of 4 pieces of a fairly hokey (cool in 1994 or maybe not...I've never been 'cool' on the dinnerware scene) Corelleware. One odd correlleware. One 'self-decorated' Young Women's flame plate from a girl's camp when I had absolutely no connection to the Young Women program, and one non-microwaveable 'Christmas Poem' plate from neighbors 3 years ago when they dropped off holiday treats. (Just as an aside CORELLEWARE will break if dropped JUST right.)

Having people over for dinner (well to share dinner not to eat them) is FUN! Many ooh's and aah's over my nice set up abound. Never mind that they are never clean all at the same time...that would be too organized. Don't tell but I may have been single handedly keeping Dixie the paper plate company in business (never mind the dump.)
BUT

In today's what you must get for
Christmas or you will die email from Amazon I found this:Corelle Dinnerware for up to 65% off. The style I chose was 33% off the already fairly good deal even next to Wal-mart prices. So woohoo! Any 5 of you that would like are welcome to come have dinner on matching plates in 7-10 free shipping days.

So let's see... the 30th then? :)

Cool . . . and especially because you got a bargain.

I'm not sure which is worse - plates that don't match, or dinnerware that gets so hot when you put it in the microwave, that you have to use a hot pad to carry it to the table - definitely not kid friendly. I suspect we'll be buying some Corelle ware of our own soon :)

I have those mugs in a different color and they are my all-time absolute favorites! They're actually fairly sturdy, don't chip too easily and the shape is perfect. I don't know why, but it just is. So, congratulations! Enjoy your matching dinnerware.

This post made me laugh!

Lucy said...

we're totally coming. makes me laugh that you own a kitchenwares shop and you are just buying a badly needed set of dinnerware at another online store =).

Brenda: Thanks
Marni: Yes 6:30
Sharon: Good luck shopping
Amanda: cool on the mugs...I was hoping they would be big enough for hot chocolate as my last set isn't.
Jana: Glad you could laugh today.
Brooke: Touche' However, the only dinnerware we sell is stoneware style and chips if you look at it wrong. Not exactly survivable at my house.
