Yay! At the end of this month, the work on our new kitchen will finally come to a close. So it's time for me to ponder tableware options. You see, we sold most of our dishes at our estate sale in the fall. Now I need to decide what to buy for the new space.
While in New York City on Sunday, Hannah and I popped into Fishs Eddy, a favorite shop I've blogged about in the past. Love this store! I have a fondness for sturdy dishes like the ones found in my family's restaurant years ago. Fishs Eddy is chock full of just such items.
Great stuff! After browsing a bit, Hannah and I decided that solid white restaurant ware is the way to go for our new kitchen. So once I am able to unpack more boxes and take an inventory of what we still have, I'll be heading back to Fishs Eddy to do some serious dish shopping. Won't that be fun? Wish you could come!

Oh, there is nothing better than those thick white dishes. I love them. I am down to two bowls in my kitchen. I have three sets of 1930s dishes...but the bowls are minuscule! I'm going to get a cup of coffee right now and peruse your interesting blog.

Love Fishs Eddy! Get some of those floral glass storage jars too. (Just remember they don't bounce like the plastics). You will never regret buying all white dishes - go with everything and compliments any food served on them. I still use mine from 42 years ago!! How exciting to follow your new digs.

Oh what a store! I am gradually acquiring some old crockery and table ware and trying to replace things as they crack or are past their best.x
