I fell in love with the mix of simplicity and delicate decoration as a young teen. I hope that some day in the extremely distant future I can also inherit her Grand Baroque. My sister recently married. She did register for china (to match my mother's good china, so someday she will have an awesome collection), but I don't think she registered for silver.<br /><br />Your pattern is a very pretty take on that shape.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330251211625013331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526860960622808594.post-58040314319186146202014-12-18T21:55:58.328-05:002014-12-18T21:55:58.328-05:00Well, someone stole all our sterling, R & B...Well, someone stole all our sterling, R & B's "Spanish Baroque," which really didn't suit us anymore(to many curls and swirls), so we decided to mix and match some of the old Art Deco patterns--Lansdowne, St. Dunstan Chased, San Lorenzo, Wedgewood, etc. Now I can feel like a Southerner again.

I did pick china, silver and crystal when I married in 1980s. I consider it part of one of the best decisions I've ever made. I told my new in-laws to buy me whatever they wanted from those three for birthdays, Christmas, or any gift giving occasion. It took the pressure off them to try and guess what I'd like. They could spend whatever they wanted. I'm happy with a spoon. And now I have 32 years worth of something I love. And no bad gifts. I tell all the young girls at work, you may not think you want it now but you will.NikkiLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607019690516754681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526860960622808594.post-90339543015816520452012-01-25T14:38:22.205-05:002012-01-25T14:38:22.205-05:00Your silver is really pretty, Cheryl!

But the price of silver had just shot up and I only got a few pieces. A few years ago, I got a bonus for receiving my national board certification as a teacher. I treated myself to a service for 8 of Buttercup because a friend of mine had that pattern and I always admired it when she used it.

We will celebrate our 40th anniversary this year, and I did register for Lunt Belvedere. Back then, silver was cheap enough that almost anyone would give a spoon or fork as a wedding gift! I have a full set and use it frequently. After my mother-in-law passed away, her collection of Chantilly was divided between my daughter and son. She had promised it to them, so neither registered for silver when they married. I think it's just so expensive now that few brides get many pieces!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979113683683598684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526860960622808594.post-51008340717659327812012-01-23T12:36:25.408-05:002012-01-23T12:36:25.408-05:0040 years ago, I chose Joan of Arc, not because I l...40 years ago, I chose Joan of Arc, not because I loved it , but because my mom suggested it so I would eventually have a lot of one pattern.

I've always had a special spot for Gorham "Strasbourg" because it's very similar in design to my everyday Oneida pattern which I still love now that I'm "vintage." Last year, though, I found a fantastic set of Frank Whiting "King's Court" (also called "Neapolitan") at auction for an amazing price ... so now I have a silver pattern! And yes, I do use it.

I didn't register or receive any silver for our wedding almost 35 years ago. I was given 2different stainless patterns which I still use faithfully. One set it for 6 and I use it every day of life. The other set is for 4 and I use it for special occasions when there are four here. I have some odd pieces of heirloom silver from family but none matched the ones in the C L article. Our daughter inherited her Grammies silver and we used it at Christmas. She didn't pick out a china pattern when she was married almost 4 years ago but they registered for pottery dishes from a potter they know. She now wants Corelle as she has a 16 month old. :) I wonder what young marrieds are doing these days too.Pamela Gordonhttp://playingwithmycamera.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526860960622808594.post-4773090340614585422012-01-22T21:54:51.233-05:002012-01-22T21:54:51.233-05:00Unfortunately, I went the casual route with dishes...Unfortunately, I went the casual route with dishes and flatware and our wedding.
