Welcome to My Place to Yours! I'm so glad you stopped by today. I think you will be too. I've thought a lot lately about how tableware has changed through the years. Some patterns popular in 1979 when I began selecting patterns for myself ... well let's just say I'm STILL wondering what some of those designers were thinking. Fortunately for me, I like what I chose "back then" -- although my tastes have expanded A LOT in the past three-and-a-half decades.
