One of my friends said she knew the children had grown-up when she was
able to replace all the plastic glasses with real glass tumblers. I agree. We still have a few Tupperware glasses but they aren't used very often.

There isn't a glass that is safe around my house, not with my DH. He's even
broken a Corelle dish! Funny thing though, he breaks the good stuff. But the free wine glasses from Arby's have just seen their second Christmas!

OOOOH, i broke a Corelle dish once, and it shattered into a million pieces. Shredded
my legs to ribbons. I just got rid of the last of them this past fall, and have "real"dishes now...LOL. -- Jalynne - Keeper of the Quilt for ME club list Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne "AliceW" wrote in message ...

When I purchased the set of dishes--they had 8 place settings and ONLY 4
glasses and 4 mugs to match them.no cup/saucers either.BUT I finally have a set of 8 in dishes and a 'set of 4glasses/4cups' for drinking 'thingies' .

I am quite the opposite. I have to have 8 matching glasses at all times. To match my dishes...8 place settings. I'm insane, and happily so.

I have 3 plates 1 saucer and 2 bowls left of them. DH got them for me when I
was at my 'worst' of breaking stuff. They aren't suppose to break Honey...... Butterfly (yeah right). "Jalynne" wrote in message hlink.net...

ROFL, yep...i know no one ELSE would notice, but if it's in my home, it drives me

today my mom and I had a wonderful time, I returned home around 7:30pm and
goofed around awhile. Then around midnight I went back into the 'pit'. I worked on top the table, moving scrapbook supplies, odd quilting notions like the little 6" square up, 4 different rotary cutters, bobbins, various containers like old candy tins with stuff in them, and (drum roll) the Wittman's candy box has arrived! It's was opened and found to have lots of goodies inside, like a heart shaped chalk wheel, varioius packs of different size quilting needles, 2 thimbles, several quilting threads that match the different projects I had last been working on (a million years ago), a tiny pair of scizzors that had a piece of yarn tied thru one finger hole and the other end tied thru a spool of thread. Ha, ha, my cheap/lazy answer to the ones you make by hand, but take all day. This way the yarn goes around your neck and you have your thread and scizzors RIGHT there to snip a new piece without budging and chasing falling/tumbling spools, a roll of 1/4" quilting tape, and one of those tiny little pin cusions that fit in a plastic pop bottle cap and have elastic to go around your finger - which that part seems to be missing....hmmmmm and a cross stitch needle! OK, this is getting pretty good, but tomorrow I will continue to clean this room, as I need to verify just what all this stuff is and separate out the 'garbage' that don't belong in there that is taking up valuable room that I could be playing in! |

Hullo Cozy
I think I'm as excited as you are that the candy box of goodies has surfaced! I wonder if you took a photograph of the 'before' situation?! This would be one terrific 'before' and 'after' comparison, by the sound of it g But, I dare say you didn't, because you never dreamt you would be so successful, did you? g Just imagine, a week or so intensive work and you have 'created' something marvellous. ..

Me too! It's even helping me with my packing, because that's the same kind
of way I do all this work. Just like she's doing hers! Karen, Queen of Squishies |

Corelle dinnerware was quite new when we got married in 1967. We were
registering for china and the jewelry store sales person was trying to sell us on Corelle. She emphasized it's unbreakability, and to demonstrate it, she took a cup and hit a saucer. The saucer promptly broke. She decided it was a fluke, tried it again, and broke another saucer. We have corelle dinnerware for our "everyday" dishes. I like them because they are durable and compact to store. They do chip and break. Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://mail.chartermi.net/~jaccola/ |
