How old are your dishes?

[vraiblonde]

My mom gets new dishes every couple of years or so just because she gets bored of the old ones. I, on the other hand, keep mine until they're so chipped up or enough of them get broken that I have to replace them.

So which one are you?

 

[kwillia]

I keep them until they need replacing. Besides... mine match the painting/wallpaper trim in my dining room which I love so there is no need to look for something different. On that note, if I ever repainted the dining room I would certainly get a new set to go with the new look.

 

[Tilted]

The notion that dishes might need replacing is kinda foreign to me. I have a large set of Longabergers that used to be my mother's. Are you telling me that I might eventually have to face the arduous task of figuring out how to replace them?

>3 y/o. I bought then when I bought the house.

I also bought new glassware. They haven't fared as well.

Mine are 6 yrs. old and are no longer being made. I love them so I will keep them.

No. That is not what they are saying. What they are saying is that when you get you a permanent woman, she'll take care of that for you.

I have one set of china, unused still in the box, that I bought in 1969 in Hong Kong.
The rest are anywhere from 2-8 years.

One set that is about 7 y/o.

Another full Christmas set that is going on 25 years.

 

[libertytyranny]

it will take me YEARS just to afford all of the pieces that go with my china..I can't even think of getting rid of it. Once I get all the pieces I want...it's on to the Christmas set.

Really!?! I didn't realize that. They were very pretty.

I had an antique set of rose china that the ex left behind. I boxed them and gave them back to her mom. Not exactly my cup of tea.....

That reminds me that I have my Grandmothers rose tea set that is packed away for the Chicklet when he is older.

I thought you would have beat yours against a rock. The same way you do your laundry.

I have a Phaltzgraff collection that started in 1986 and has grown significantly since then. And they still produce the pattern!!
