Silver... Sorry you had to give your babies too... I think both Kim and Fuzzy are the ones who can redily relate to the heart ache of that... But at least you know they are at a good home, and you won't have to worry about the transport of so many birds when you make your final move. You are missed when you aren't around. It's nice to hear from you when you do get online and chat.
Fuzzy... If you find a few peices that match, or not, doesn't matter. Only matters if you are planning on a complete set of 4 for later selling. It's very hard to come by old fine china. Not unless you have the time to invest in estate auctions from old ladies with big rambling farms and houses. I think if you find a few nice peices of equal size, even if it is different pattern, could make for a much more interesting tea time. I am weird though. I hope that you find what you want though. I used to have a lovely old set of tea ware. It came from various garage sales and took me nigh on two years, but I ended up having a matching set for four. Sandwiche plate, teacup and saucer set. My Ex in laws didn't have the same value for things that I did... Ended up with a broken set when one of the nephews threw a toy, hit my tray, and busted a few. I was so upset, but the response from the ex-sil made me even more mad, that I am sure I looked quite the lunatic throwing the rest of the china at her... The toy was thrown because the kid was mad that he wasn't getting his way... She didn't discipline him over it, just tried to baby him out of his tantrum. I smacked his bottom with my hand and told him to stand in the corner, she turned on me and told me I had no right, I went balistic at that point and told her what I thought of her tactics for this brat, and that the peices were irreplaceable, she said they were just "things", and he was just a kid. SO... china flew after that. I had to clean the mess, and things were never the same with the whole family and me after that. They all came down on me like a ton of bricks. I told them all they could go and do something that starts with an "F" and ends with an "off". Never apologized, never recieved one either.
Ah well... need to get the monsters to bed. Have a great night all.
