Well, I finally committed to buying a new set of everyday dishes, and once again I ended up with a choice by Mikasa! Approximately 15 years ago I selected a pattern called Brywood by Mikasa. I was certain I could live with it forever, and I did try! Finally as the years passed and my tastes changed I couldn't stand it anymore and decided on Mikasa's Italian Countryside. It's simple, clean lined and will not dictate too much style.
In the meantime, what to do with my old dishes. I won't let them go, because they are sentimental to me and let's face it, I paid a lot for them!
Soooo..... after much contemplating, I finally remembered this hidden area in my cabinet that has items in it that I completely forget about.....so everything came out and the dishes went in and I got a chance to straighten up the cupboard! That's always a good thing!
And now my new Mikasa has a home!
