Dinner party anyone?

Horror! My beautiful china pattern is being discontinued! Shame on you Royal Doulton! Even though this isn't the best time for me financially (job instability and all) I have purchased an obscene amount of china. That's it to the right, Moonlight Rose. I called in some early Christmas present favors and my next credit card bill will cause heart palpitations but I'll have place settings for eight and be all set for a royal tea party. The financial plus side is that I'm getting it all for ~80-90% off the retail price. I am on a deal alert list for a Royal Doulton outlet store so that is how I found out about my pattern and the sale. The outlet store is already a good deal where everything is discounted 30-40% to start with and then starting Labor Day weekend everything is buy one get one free. It makes me feel a little bit better knowing that I am getting a super deal. Now I just need a dining set that will seat eight and to live somewhere where there is enough guest parking...

Hi, love your china, and will grace your table any time, tea or dinner, even sit on the floor, although I cn't see you allowing that :-)

Holly,

Your china pattern is beautiful! Don't feel bad about it - think of it as a family heirloom you can pass on in the family. Your daughter(s) will love you for it.
