How FINE is your China??

When Mikey and I went to register at Macy's months ago for our wedding registry, I baulked at the thought of having to pick out all the "necessities" on their list of what we SHOULD register for.

I finally conceded and used the fun beeping gun to mark off a beautiful Monique Lhuillier pattern, thinking "oh, no one will buy this anyways, and we'll probably never use it." I suppose in the days of all-casualness the thought of eating on something so invested-in seemed a bit crazy to me.



Last night I stopped by Linens and Things to grab a tablecloth long enough to cover the table we'd be setting up for Thanksgiving (yes we'll be hosting here!) and ran into their store-closing liquidation sale, and my future will-actually-eat-off-it china pattern by Mikasa. The lady kindly and bravely climbed the moveable stairs to report that yes there are two sets remaining up top and no she didn't know how much they were. A price check later and I knew the deal was too good to be true... a complete set for barely the price of one place setting at Macy's! Somehow Fine China all of a sudden became a lot more alluring!
