So often when you register for china you find that when you finally find your "style" the pattern you selected doesn't fit you. I picked china a few years ago so my kids would have gift ideas for me, plus I had a china cabinet I thought needed filling. I love my china, it looks pretty in the hutch but I seldom use it cause I'm too lazy. I do have other items I've collected through the years and they all bring a smile to my face for the sentimental value, where they were found, who gave them to me. It's just plain fun to make a "find" while shopping, whether at an antique shop, discount store, flea market, well you get the idea. Have fun and happy collecting to you.Happy Trailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207732905952558694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-56893657680558600442010-01-08T11:44:22.787-08:002010-01-08T11:44:22.787-08:00My fiance and I are about to register, and I'v...My fiance and I are about to register, and I've had this on-going debate with myself over whether or not to register for china. It just doesn't seem practical to me, and I figured if we do want it, we can always find a nice set on sale one day.. right? I'm glad to know that others don't always register for it. Most of my friends think I'm crazy!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191261859789256933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-88789259218158893352010-01-08T11:32:24.946-08:002010-01-08T11:32:24.946-08:00I wasn't comfortable registering for china eit...I wasn't comfortable registering for china either. We were more "stoneware" dish people than "fine china" folks.<br /><br />One of our fun traditions has been to collect local pottery when we go on trips. We got rid of the dinky mugs that came with our everyday dishes (a blue/brown stoneware look) & collect mugs or platters or bowls when we travel. It's been a really fun way to look for souveniers & also add to our collection. And they're great conversation starters!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015559948358507498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-9680588722828421242010-01-08T06:56:11.354-08:002010-01-08T06:56:11.354-08:00And we can't forget about the magical land of ...And we can't forget about the magical land of Cherry's for all your Polish pottery needs! ;) I collect the LuRay dishes in green, and, although I don't think I have a complete service set yet, I do have a lot of the large serving pieces which I LOVE to set out when company comes over. It is fun to collect something, plus it gives me a mission while aimlessly wandering the aisles of my beloved antique stores. :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13778738125321483117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-82209167017866143712010-01-08T06:42:14.238-08:002010-01-08T06:42:14.238-08:00I try to buy a new Christmas book every year.

I even bought a small one when we went to EuroDisney a few years back.Pambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02522005536222669138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-6621661133630747832010-01-08T06:27:11.938-08:002010-01-08T06:27:11.938-08:00Love those dishes.
