Fabulous Decor- China Obsessions

I'll just say it up front, I am obsessed with China. Not the country, I mean dishes! I remember when I was getting married we weren't going to register for fine china. I thought it was too fancy. Cut to me LOVING it and using it every chance I get! It was my Dad who told me to look at Royal Crown Derby. Thank God I listened to him!!!
I have the Old Avesbury pattern. I had hubby look at a list of ten patterns and we picked the same one! When I picked it Dad admitted it was his favorite too but had compromised with my Step Mom and gotten Old Imari. Too funny. I use this with Gold chargers and it is fierce. It is very colorful but I am glad to have something this fabulous!

Here's my Dad's: Old Imari


For my everyday I use Spode Italian Blue. This is what my parents had growing up so somehow I felt compelled. It really is so nice to eat on every day!


Then I have my alternate every day by Varages. I use this when I get bored or do a luncheon here. It's so french and I love the whimsical little bird on it!

Thanksgiving is on the way and hubby's parents are coming. I will be breaking out the Royal Crown Derby for sure, but I try not to wait for a special occasion! Any day can use a boost with your fancy china! Don't leave it in your china cabinet wasting away!
