I need to really start adding to my collection because it comes down to time to set the table for a party and I feel like I just resort to my same ol' boring stuff.

As my white everyday has chipped and broken I find myself picking up more when I see something that will fit at the thrift stores but you may be surprised to learn that the white dishes that have lasted the longest were bought at...dollarama! I love visiting historic mansions where they have entire rooms dedicated to storing china. You need one of those!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361156266769772312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-24416791989896919082011-01-19T22:35:18.452-05:002011-01-19T22:35:18.452-05:00I love all these pictures of dishes that you poste...I love all these pictures of dishes that you posted!

I have a fine china set of 12, white with a pretty blue, that I got for free from my sister. Besides our plain white Corelle for everyday (16 place settings for the dishwasher) we have an inexpensive white 16 place setting set (from Real Canadian Superstore) that I use for frequent family buffets. Inexpensive so I'm not afraid to see little great nieces and great nephews with it, and white so we can layer red chargers or it goes with just about anything. The best purchase lately was two dozen square white 'caterers' plates that I now use instead of paper plates for big crowds, bbqs etc. Yeah, lots of white, lots of crowds, but it works for us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533933625825629350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-74776212022772320812011-01-19T12:02:14.797-05:002011-01-19T12:02:14.797-05:00A great bit of research.

I think your suggestion of these 6 different types of dishes is wonderful...is it bad that I have several sets of each of these types...all except the Asian dishes. So that means I need to add another set right...I'll tell Mr. Tide you suggested it! ;-) Great post!<br /><br />Kat :)Low Tide High Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494078916477622322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-78877335179991802192011-01-18T22:48:36.730-05:002011-01-18T22:48:36.730-05:00I have a white everyday set, and a set of fine chi...I have a white everyday set, and a set of fine china...and I just found a set of red damask Pottery Barn plates at Goodwill for a steal!

My weakness is table linens, I must confess...I do have formal china, cream dishes (not white), pottery dishes, and a few fun dishes. I do not have any Asian or Christmas dishes, but I do have some Fall or Thanksgiving dishes. I think it would be fun to have heart-shaped dishes for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and birthdays, even. Thanks for an amazing post, Grace! My favorite picture is the one from Country Living with the formal china. I love all the colors :D<br /><br />xoxoxo,<br />Ricki JillRicki Treleavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363865916909018452noreply@blogger.com
