My first major turn-off with Martha

Stewart was when I read that she had 40+ sets of china. Now, I suppose I'm just jealous, but that seems excessive to me. I don't think I could even fit 40 sets of china in my house...even piling one set in the bathtub and keeping a couple sets under each bed. However, I can understand the pull that dishes have. There are so many times that I've come across a dish pattern and really wanted a set of it. In fact, I've had so much trouble picking out just one that I ended up with white dishes with a tidy gold ring around the edge. Well, I am BORED with them. So this week-end when I was in the dollar store with Zana ( I LOVE dollar stores!) I saw some plates...yellow with green leaves and different colored fruits...yes, garish but very perky) and yearned for them. That was when I had my scathingly brilliant idea (anybody remember where that line came from?). I bought a large plate, bowl and mug...and am planning on buying the same pieces every time I come across another set of dishes that I like (preferably in dollar stores since that 3 pc set cost me $3.) So, in case I ever have company here who is reckless enough to eat with me, they will have a matching set of dishes...ie: their cup will match their bowl and plate...but won't match anyone else's. I love it! Best idea I've had in a long time. Okay...it's the only idea I've had for a while, but I still think it's a great one.

Now that is plain nuts having fourty sets of china. I have one set and of course it is tropical but I never use it because I am more down to earth and just have not had the pleasure of using it. Plus I can not cook! ha ha ha.... Okay Kat I hear ya... I know I can cook sticky rice and fish! ha ha ha....

I wish we had a one dollar store here where I live that will be fun. I think I am going to see if it is on the web wouldn't that be a crack up?

Lov Ya!
