Tomorrow is my parents' 60th anniversary. On the weekend, all of the sibs (7), and many grandkids, from CO to OR will meet for a family anniversary party.
Yesterday, I stumbled on a local ad for silverplate flatware (for you guys, that would be silverware) in the same pattern Mom had on her bridal registry. I think she has service for 8 or so, so she hasn't used hers in years, because she can't set a full table of it. I found service for 7-8 of the basics, and a bunch of serving pieces including some that aren't even available on the replacement sites, in a big chest. I went on-line and figured out what these pieces would cost now, and came up with somewhere between $700-900 easy.
FOR $40!!!! I can hardly contain myself as I dance around the house tonight!
