So I tried to count up the number of plates that I currently have in the two patterns, and it looks like:
Spring blossom green, 7 or 8 dinner (largest), 7 or 8 salad/ lunch size (which I usually use for dinner), 8 appetizer plates (use for heating up sausage patties for breakfast). Also some of those hooked handle tea cups and saucers, and at least 3 cereal bowls.
Old town blue, 8 dinner plates, 6 salad/lunch plates, 0 appetizer plates, 9? cereal bowls, 7? small bowls (appetizer size, I use these for dry cereal).
So to solely replace the green ones, 8 place settings. To replace everything, 16 place settings.
Caspian Lace is the cheapest set that coordinates with the old town blue, but I keep on coming back to the Portofino sets which of course are more expensive. And part of me just wants to replace both of my current patterns as they are all showing wear and brown spots (which I am tired of trying to remove with barkeeper’s friend). Corelle is doing a sale for the 4th of July so they are probably the cheapest option right now.
My parents have officially put their house of 42 years on the market and it’s so strange to see the realtor’s pictures without any furniture in there. I am feeling sad; I never thought growing up that all of my immediate family would be gone from what I regard as my hometown. And they’ve sold off a good chunk of stuff that I remember (although I realize that I wouldn’t be using their Weber grill or the Pfalzgraff hand-wash china for starters). I think it will sell fairly quickly as it’s been tagged as a favorite on the realty’s website a few times already in less than two days.
