Show Us Your Life -- China Patterns

Over at Kelly's Korner they are talking about china patterns. I figured I would participate this week...I never use my poor china, so I might as well talk about it instead! When Ben and I got engaged we were SO excited to register. I was excited about picking out things for our first home together; Ben was excited to use the scanning gun. Typical:) I love our everyday dishes. If I had to register all over again, I would still pick out these dishes. We have the Lenox Butler's Pantry Collection. They have a few different dinner and salad plates to choose from and so I registered for 4 of each pattern! The one above is my favorite.
I love that we have the option to mix and match. This is the 2nd pattern we have. I can't find a picture of the other pattern, but it is similar.

This is our crystal stemware...Waterford Lismore. I am not even close to completing our collection of these and to be honest, we have never even used them. I actually bought a set of 12 crystal glasses at a garage sale a few weeks ago. They definitely aren't Waterford, but atleast I have a whole set!

Last but not least is our pretty china: Lenox Opal Innocence. You can't really it in this picture but it has really pretty detailing arond the edge. I love these plates because they are simple. I can't wait to eventually have a china cabinet to display them in!
