Dinnerware

Before I get things going I just wanted to say that I survived my meeting today haha. My one on one with my manager got changed until next week so that only left me with one meeting. I expected to leave that meeting totally stressed to the point of tears, but luckily I didn't stress out THAT much. I'm so glad I have this house distraction because it is helping me reduce stress. I don't mean to write so much about my new place, but in case you couldn't tell I am really excited! Today I went back and tweaked my registry(ies) and added some new items. I decided not to put any plates and things like that on my registry because I have a specific store I want to go to. Pretty much my whole family has a dish pattern from Pfaltzgraff. I wanted to pick me out a pattern and start collecting. I'm very fortunate because my great-grandmother gave me a set of dishes when I was 18 or 19. They have survived all these years, but haven't been used much. I really want to make those like my china because they are so valuable to me. The dishes she gave me are the same ones she used and they just make me think of her. I was very close to her and miss her dearly. I often wonder what she would think of Maddy and what she would think of me as a mom. I know she would have absolutely LOVED Maddy! Ok, back on track here...I don't consider myself normal when it comes to house decor. I like the fun girly things instead of the neutral adult things. I'm almost sad to admit that because I am 29, but I like what I like and I want to have some fun. I knew I wanted square plates. There's something that's so neat about a square plate. I also knew I wanted it to be colorful and fun but still look classy I guess is the word I am looking for. Honestly, if I could design my own dishes they would have hearts on there somewhere lol. I found something I could live with. I almost like the round plate sets better in the pattern I chose, but I'm a square plate kinda girl. The name of the pattern is called Patio Garden. I am going to copy a picture from the website to show you.

This best represents me and I am ready to start buying. I attempted to look around for silverware, but honestly that is something I need to do in the store because online they look the same. Sometimes some feel better than others and sometimes the detailing is so small you can't see it very well online, but in the store it pops. By the time I'm done I will have done enough registering it would make up for a housewarming and wedding shower times ten! Maybe I should become a professional register. I hear lots of people saying they hate registering and I honestly think it is fun, unless it runs over an hour and a half haha.
