I was telling some colleagues about our registry victory with the simple stoneware, and it turns out that the Washington Post had published an article that same day about the trend among modern brides away from registering for formal china. I'd sniff about being part of a generational movement, except that I really think this represents the best choice for us.

Plus, I still have my fantasy of collecting a complete mismatched set of cobalt and white dinnerware from thrift stores and garage sales. Incidentally, mixed china patterns were the theme of ANOTHER Washington Post article published yesterday.

Bah! I may be trendy, but someday people will rather enjoy eating dinner in our coral colored dining room off either the Mikasa swirl dinnerware or the funky blue thrift store set!
