china dinner service sets image
CAN'T WAIT
I am looking for mainly a bunch of tea cups and saucers. I keep finding online sets for four people for around $30. I'm throwing a tea party for my daughter's 5th bday so I'll need around 11-13 tea cups and not looking to spend so much. Please help! :)
I will be looking at thrift stores. I already bought gloves and hats from target for $1 each. They had a bunch out for easter.
Answer
Hi,
I just answered your other question and then saw this one, So I will just c+p my answer here. Hope your daughter enjoys her birthday! While you are checking out the thrift shops and yard sales... keep your eye out for fancy hats, gloves and such. The girls will love digging through a box of fun stuff to add too their 'elegance'!
"I also gave my daughter a tea party for her 5th birthday!
Because I didn't want to spend gobs of money on special tea sets, and I didn't want to worry about my things getting broken, I bought a couple sets of china at some local thrift stores. I got one set that had a full service for 8 including dinner plates and serving bowls and platters for under $20. I also bought several other cup and saucer sets that only had 2 or 3 in the sets. Teapots abound also in these types of second hand stores, flee markets and yard sales.
I then didn't care if something was dropped, mixing and matching the china was fun and the girls felt extra, extra special using real china!
If you don't want to buy the china, you might consider hostessing a 'bring your favorite tea cup' party."

How do you store stone dinnerware?

I just bought a beautiful set of stone dinnerware and have had them for just one day and already see scratches on them from stacking them in my cupboard. I've been looking online for some type of storage rack or something that will prevent them from sitting directly on one another... does anybody have any suggestions or links to websites or stores that sell some type of organizer for this?
Answer
I have several sets of stoneware and china, and live in an earthquake zone, so I found an inexpensive solution to keep them from scratching each other. I went to one of those moving stores and got a bunch of packages of their foam envelopes. They come in sizes that are perfect for dinner plates, salad bowls and desert plates. I actually insert each piece in sets I'm not currently using and put them between the plates and bowls for the ones I am. They are great, too, because you can wipe them off if they get dirty or dusty and nary a scratch during the quake we had a couple of weeks ago. I found mine at the U-haul store, but some discounters also sell them. If you have service for 12 like I do, one package of each will cover your set with some spares. And, they are cheap, too.
