Show us your life - china patterns

We will be married 4 years this month and I am not tired of our china patterns at all. First off, we didn't register for formal china or crystal because my Nanny passed down her collection to my mama, and she is going to give it me someday. It is rimmed in silver and has little flowers on it. My mama also has formal Christmas china rimmed in gold. I love both of them!

We registered for 2 everyday patterns. Our everyday set is plain white, simple, and beautiful. It is Grand Gourmet by Wedgwood. I have a platter that I love and the pasta bowls and large buffet plates are great for entertaining. We use the pasta bowls for everything though, they are great. It is discontinued though, and we would like a few more place settings. Luckily, we found a few places online that will sell it at a discount. Maybe we'll add to it soon. :)


We also picked a really fun pattern. Our other everyday set is by M.Bagwell and it is called Happy Together (fitting right?). I love, love, love it! We have everything in this. Canisters, cake stand, chip and dip plate, deviled egg plate, salt and pepper shakers, utensil holder, vases, plate holders, etc. I love mixing and matching. I display it sometimes, but we use it all the time too. She also has a mix and match pattern that we have some things in that you can actually mix and match. :) I just took a picture of what I have out right now. She has added a few casserole dishes to her collection and we don't have those yet.


We didn't register for her Simply Christmas Collection. But my friend, Becky, started us with a piece one year and now we have quite a bit of it. I didn't get a good picture of this, because it is all put away since we only pull it out at Christmas. We have a vegetable platter that is my favorite! We even have ornaments that match! There are some fun Halloween plates that I want too!



I'm excited to see all the different patterns out there!
