So I did a bit of editing...OK?
Missy and all the rest of you ladies:
Instead of cheap Wal Mart Plastic stuff...
how about shopping for one or two really special old plates at the second hand store...hand wash them, it's good exercise.
Think of it as recycling with style...find one that is small, stylish, and says "I feel pretty" or "I am special" or "I feel loved"...
The antique ones were smaller in size to begin with.
May come with a bread plate, small bowl & even a cup & saucer for tea.
Now make yourself a really pretty place mat upon which to sit your place serving ...turn on some calm lovely music to eat by, slower eating is good for the digestive system...add a bit of romance with some candle light...we do love ourselves, that is the goal here, is it not?
And let those who like cheap Wal Mart eat from those things...
we can treat ourselves a wee bit better than that...or hefty Styrofoam throw away ...we can...and I just showed you how you could afford to eat off fine china...they get rid of what there is not enough of, right?
Their toss is our weight loss helper!
so hard to just lurk. I am not being very successful at it at all...
Oh Grandma12 you are so creative! I bought my plate yesterday and it is not an antique but it is very pretty and I love it. There are a zillion antique stores here and so I will start shopping them and the thrift stores because I can have two plates, no? :)
I do love your style of lurking!
