China patterns
I was bored today so I started playing with my china...I know, dorky. I set up a placesetting and looked at the salt and pepper shakers and stuff like I was a little girl at a teaparty...
So now I am browsing various china patterns online and I have decided that my two favorite so far are:
Noritake Ardmore Platinum (the one I have)
and Wedgwood Celestial Platinum.
How about you?

Formal, Lenox Kelly (that's my niece's name so easy to remember, lol)
Everyday - Mikasa Garden Harvest (Trading Spaces did an episode where they built a dish rack for the same pattern!)

Crestwood Platinum by Noritake.
I am almost 99% certain that's the one I registered for when I was engaged. My ex didn't really care what I chose and since I wanted something timeless I thought I'd go with the platinum instead of a color!
Oh well...maybe next time!

A tastefully understated embossed outer band, on Noritake’s pure white porcelain china accented by a platinum outer rim.

I have Noritake's Rochelle Gold:
Nice and simple, and all sorts of accent plates go with it!
I also love my mother's Royal Daulton Carlisle:

My mom is giving me her china, which is white with a gold band around the edge and a clump of pink roses to one side. It's gorgeous. Therefore, I am not worried about looking at china at all.
This made me think--I wonder how hard it is to learn how to paint on china? Because I would love to somehow design a pattern that integrates my sorority's colors (double blue and gold) and flower (pink rose) and put it on a china setting.

I've always wanted Lenox Jefferson, but they had to go and discontinue it!

You know, I've never given any thought to china. I don't know what my family has, although we have 2 formals and 2 informals (we entertain a lot). I figure it's not going to be something I register for...knowing that we will be living in apartments and being students for the first 3-5 years, we will wait until our place of residence is somewhat settled before buying (or having bought for us) expensive, bulky, china.

My mother also has Autumn by Lenox, along with a French pattern my late father got at Neiman Marcus years ago. Our everyday china is Noritake w/gold trimming purchased some 40 years ago, before I was born.

Autumn is NOT something you want to drop. $150 a place setting.
Plus, my mom has lots of the accent pieces to go with it - the vase, the cake plate. She wants to get the candle sticks.
Its beautiful, just a pain to hand wash
The cool thing, is that after my mom got it, one of her sisters got it when she got married, and my grandmother got it too. So when we have big family dinners, we always have enough of the good china
