China Collection

I love a good set of china and I love a good table setting, but it seems that now a day the number of couples who register for china is constantly shrinking. Miss Janice's recent blogpost on china cabinets got me to thinking more and more about that. In our 3 years of marriage I have managed to collect 4 sets of china and I couldn't imagine not having china in our house!

When we first created our wedding registry, I knew that I wanted to register for china, but I never thought I would develop such a passion for china and creating table settings. My mom told me that when her and my dad registered Belk would set out full settings of china options for them to peruse and choose. Then they would set out their selection with a place card for everyone to see when they came to purchase items from their registry.

I wish that Belk and other places still did that for engaged couples. They might inspire more couples to register for china.

Here are the 4 that I have collected:

Johnson Brothers Blue Willow

Spode Woodland

Spode Christmas Tree

Kate Spade Wickford

Here are some of the ways that I have used each of these China setting. I use Blue Willow pretty much daily along with Pottery Barn everyday China.
