Day Four

[tripperfunster]

Do your dishes match?
Or your couches? Or all your pillows and sheets, for that matter?

I inherited a set of 'everydayware' from my mother when she bought herself a new one. I quite like them, mostly because I moved a lot as a child/teen and even though my surroundings changed, these dishes are something I remember as a steady thing I saw every day. They're Royal Daulton (sp?), but not fancy. Over the years, we've lost some bowls and the odd mug, due to clumsyness and mis-use, and I'm not sure if I should go on ebay to find another set to suppliment these, or just ... deal.

As for the rest of my life dishes, we have a large mish-mash of mugs, some souveniers, some xmas presents, etc. We have a wide array of glasses, same deal and our cutlery drawer is overflowing with a hundered different sets too.

Sometimes I think I'd love my house to look like it belongs in a magazine, (not White Trash Weekly) but sometimes ... I dunno. The REST of my life isn't that organized, it would be a bit of a sham to have my house so detailed. :D

How about you? Is your bed all one colour? Or do you have a mix of different blankets and sheets like me?

My dishes aren't mis-matched enough to be eclectic. Just ... missing bits here and there.

that's too bad about your mom getting rid of your special item. What was it?

It was a needlepoint my mom completed years earlier- very 70's decor colors, with an avocado green linen background, and dandelions (flowers and puffs) stitched on it. There are other things we had that traveled with us over the years - that one had just been one I was particularly attached to. It was disappointing, but I suppose I'll live : )
