Around here, someone under the age of 18 always seems to be breaking a dish. And we had gotten down to an insufficient number despite using Corelle (which are breakable in our home!!!). I personally hate to eat off of plastic dishes. Well I was lamenting to a friend recently about the my dish situation and wondering whether I should invest in another set of Corelle or just go to paper plates. Both “solutions” were not floating my boat!!! Then my friend gave me a great idea. He suggested buying second hand plates at a thrift shop. It turned out to be a great idea. I got a nearly complete set of dishes for 8 (dinner plates, luncheon plates, bowls, tea cups and saucers) for $4!!! Now I can eat on real plates without worry!!! God is good!!! Thanks Don!!!

We’ve been buying our dishes at thrift shops and yard sales for years. They never match, but that makes dinner more interesting.=)
What I really want to know is, what you are doing with our dog?=)
That is a really good idea. I know someone who used enamel plates and bowls, but the problem with that is that they can’t go in the microwave.
