Wedding China Blogfest!

Last week I mentioned how much I'm enjoying Downton Abbey-- sneaking away to watch the first season on my Kindle Fire. Probably one of the reasons I love the show is because of how rich the filming is. It's a feast for the eyes of richness. Every time they show that amazing inner courtyard thing in the house, I stare. I check out the details of all the rooms, especially the servants' kitchen. Ever noticed all the wonderful copper molds on the walls? The well-scrubbed prep counter? The old skirt sink?

I also mentioned that in one episode, I caught sight of a gravy boat in my wedding china pattern. This prompted some interesting comments from you guys, on the post and emailed, regarding wedding china. Most of us register for it, but do we ever use it? I'm guessing not. Mine spends its life stored away in my buffet, wishing to be used but rarely being hauled out. (Although I do use my crystal wineglasses. t's Waterford and I freaking love it.)

So I propose a wedding china blogfest, so we can finally give that gorgeous stuff its chance to shine. On Wednesday, February 1, post a picture of your china on your blog and tell us about it. Tell us:

  • The pattern and the brand
  • How often you use it
  • Any special stories about it
So sign up for the fest below and let's do a wedding china circuit!

Well that's a Wednesday and I post on Wednesdays, so how perfect is that! Not only that but I don't have to think of a topic all by myself. *giggles*

Hmm, OK.
BTW, does your Kindle Fire come with flames painted on the sides?

Thanks guys!

Trav, no it does not, except when I hold it. Everything I touch turns into fire!

Aw, man. You know I gots the china but I can't do the blogfest because I'm doing a book giveaway thingie on Feb 1 (to correspond with release day for Blythe Woolston's latest book).

But I do look forward to seeing what other china sets are sitting in closets and buffets across America. I seriously think I've used my service maybe ten times in 20 years.
