Thrifty China

I never thought this day would come, but it’s time to talk formal china. I finally upgraded to a house and now have proper room to host dinner parties.

When I first got married fine china wasn’t even listed on my registry; a 900 plus dollar gift was just too much to ask for, and I couldn’t count on enough people to get me all the required place settings. As a joke, my Husband (a commercial pilot at the time)  brought home some old TWA first class silverware and dinner plates, not knowing the collection he would start. I loved the idea of vintage airline china, and started collected pieces.

• 8 dinner plates $10.00
• 8 Salad plates $10.00
• 8 dessert plates $ 8.00
• 12 saucers $5.00
• 8 silverware sets $6.00
• 8 ramekins $5.00
• 12 coffee mugs $34.00
• 6 water glasses $58.00 (these are somewhat hard to find)
• 12 wine glasses $16.00
• 6 cordial glass $15.00
• 4 soup bowls $24.00
