Hello Precious Friends
Hope picking up each moment as flower and filling your heart with serenity and beauty of life present before your eyes. I think that is matter most to realize the importance what we have right now and living it with complete acceptance and gratitude .
I am being late for blogging because i am busy with family as here our government has declared 15 days vacations due to threat we face as corona virus .School will open on 14 march.
Another reason is that due to beautiful spring weather people are celebrating family events often as it happens this time of the year always .We been visiting many such events previously and many are ahead to attend .One of them is wedding two of hubby's nieces on 14 and 15 probably .
We have bought wedding gift during our visit to Sukkur city last week. And at same time i finally decided to buy dinner set for my kitchen . I have been delaying it since i got married as i thought it was not necessary to serve food in expensive crockery just because it looks same in design ,I thought it was loss of money (yes i am old fashion :( ).
But few weeks ago i felt embarrass when i had to serve food and it was hard to find proper dishes .I know some of you say "what a shame " lol but hey i finally changed and bought dinner set . hope you will approve it :)
paid almost 7000 thousand for this and it took almost six hours to find this one
Weather is enchanting these days ,airy ,sometimes cloudy and rainy too so we are so happy and grateful for spring and hopping that summers will be late due to rains !
wishing you all true happiness ,perfect health and peaceful days ahead my dear friends! take care!
Wow, the set is sooo pretty, I really love it! The virus scares me so much, as far it is one sick person in Poland. I hope it will be over soon, have a lovely weekend ☺
ReplyDeleteoh i am glad you liked it :)
Deletethere were lots and lots of colorful designs and latest with bit weird look but i continued to look for one like this ,creamy white and slightly patterned on edge
i did not find square or other plates which were not plainly round attractive and those are in fashion here now days though
my eldest son told that some cases were detected in Germany too
it seems disease is spreading quickly praying for better situation
Your dishes are beautiful with lots of serving pieces. I hope you enjoy them every time you use them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dinner set!
ReplyDeleteTHe dishes are very nice, now you have to have a big dinner party.
ReplyDeleteI'm not worried about this virus, it seems to only be dangerous to the elderly...oops, I keep forgetting.
Are you pointing at me Joe :)
DeleteWhat a lovely set of new dishes! Enjoy using them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on what you have been doing, Baili. Spending time with family and enjoying beautiful weather are always wonderful to read about. And, your new dish set looks very complete with many serving pieces as well. Now, you can replace your older dishes with this nice set. When we moved from our previous home, we left all the dishes and serving pieces. Instead, we bought a new set of fewer pieces and in white only -- goes with everything😏

Deleteone of my sister in law moved to her newly built house lately dear Dorothy so i have decided to give away my older dishes to her until she buys new she can use them
i agree that white is color that can fit to any other easily
Those are very nice dishes.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you are spending time off with your family.
Hello sweet Baili! Your new dishes are beautiful! How delightful to own a matching set! I personally love to mix and match dinnerware, with the same color scheme, as I love so many different pieces of china. However, there is something so lovely about matching dinnerware. Your family is going to get much enjoyment out of these dishes! Enjoy the gorgeous spring weather! We are finally getting some spring weather here as well, and it is exciting! The coronavirus is close to us as well, and although no one I know has it, there is much preparation going on to keep everyone safe. Praying for you as always, much love to you!
ReplyDeletedear Louise
Deleteactually call me dull to be fond of mating dinnerware :(
thankfully not late anymore to join who care for such issues :)
actually paying quite amount of money to have just matching dishes made me annoyed in past ,i tried to manage with cheap utensils that could serve without being too costly
but now i gave up to this kind of wisdom (if it was wisdom lol)
i am trying to be normal housewife instead of dull person with sainty thoughts who consider such things waste of money or worldly (how boring!)
this is first vacation of my life that i was not happy about due to the reason it had behind
i hope you are safe and fine with necessary cautions my friend!
We should be more careful about daily sanitation. Happy weekend to you.
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen a very pretty plate set, not extravagant at all to have good quality things for our home, as it enables us to be a generous host. I recently went to see a dear friend (who is from Sri Lanka) she has very little as a single parent, she made lunch for me with mismatched china, but every piece was beautiful, much of it very old/her mothers, and all of it treasured so I felt very honoured that she brought out her best things for me! You are doing the same, giving your family and friends something beautiful to use in your welcoming home :) I have plain white dinner set that is not expensive because we are clumsy here but I have pretty leaf patterned plates for best days/guests. I am worried about Corona Virus but I don't think there is anything we can do, it's going to affect many of us. People are panic buying food and cleaning products here and the shelves were empty in my supermarket this week of much tinned food, all hand cleaning and toilet rolls! It's interesting to see the places you visit in your country as from the UK it is not a tourist destination and remains very much closed to our eyes. I hope your son is ok, safe if he is in Europe.

ReplyDeletethank you dear Betty for encouraging
Deletehow sweet of your friend to serve you with her best dishes ,don't we do it happily when we are absolutely excited and joyful with our guests :)
my mom was not in condition to give me dinner set in my dowry but she gifted me best of what she had at that moment and i think her saved dishes and other stuff cannot be replaced with any other newly bought stuff because it was her choice and gift to her daughter and her choice was never ordinary no matter how long it took to purchase her favorite item she would save and buy anyway
i still have some of her old dishes and they are so valuable to me ,i just take look of them once in while to feel her love again!
i agree that such desperate situations making everyone panic and worried and this is true we can't do anything except being cautious and praying
my son in Germany is fine by the grace of Lord ,he says he hardly goes for outing ,only office where he is doing thesis or few friends ,Lord will keep him safe and all other children amen!
That is such a beautiful dinner set! Enjoy them. And enjoy time with your family.
ReplyDeleteDearest Baili, oh how you put me to shame...I am still using my old, non matching dinner services! Your new one is so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteVery few schools have been closed here so far, but as the virus is now spreading rapidly, the government are beginning to think it may be a good idea!
We do have many empty shelves in our stores here, as people are panic buying just about everything!😕
I do hope your son is ok in Europe...and that you all stay safe there in Pakistan. 😊😊
Sukkur looks such a beautiful city!!
All my love and hugs, always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i think it is okay to use old kitchen dear Ygriane ,i did same until now while thinking that buying expensive dishes just because they are matched in color and pattern is waste of money
Deletebut since i understood that i am running out of kitchen ware i decide to buy new one otherwise no chance
here in our country we are facing shortage of many things on store lately ,my younger son is fond of macaroni but he is coming back empty hand each time as imports are effected due to alert situation
OMG - that dinner set is absolutely wonderful!!!! I really love it so much! Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteYour dinner set is beautiful! I love the flowers design along the edges. I hope you enjoy your vacation time spent with family.
ReplyDeleteBaili, your new dishes are so pretty. I like the floral design. I think it's smart of your community to close school for a couple weeks. How nice that you got to do some traveling. You bought a wedding gift, and treated yourself with a gift too. And you deserve it, Baili. Enjoy your enchanting Spring weather. It gets hot here in the summers, so I'm enjoying Spring as well.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
these were unexpected vacations dear Sheri
Deletewe were not aware that situation was as serious ,though after vacation announcement we dug bit about the scenario and it was sad to know that disease is spreading rapidly
i hope ministry of health here and world health organization take some steps towards it
to be honest i hardly gifted myself anything except an encouraging smile though mirror once in while :)
It is not wrong to appreciate beauty, including beauty of everyday manufactured items in our lives. We have very similar taste in dishes, baili - I would have chosen that set also. Our good set of dishes is plain white with a silver edge! I hope they give you many years of pleasure each time you use them.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like spring in your climate is a time of getting out and around before it gets too hot. Spring here is much the same, despite the fact that your "hot" is much hotter than ours. Spring is a good time to get things done while it's comfortable.
Enjoy having your sons home - it's extra time to spend with them!
Oh this is such delight to know that we like same things dear Jenny :)))
Deletewhen it come to appreciate beauty of nature ,people or things i am almost at front of the line believe me
yes spring is time to express joy within in form of celebrations and other gathering events before summer take charge when taking breath seems labor :(
It is really awesome dinner set, Baili.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
oh it's been awhile since I've been here - nice to read your newsy post and i like the dishware you picked out. I bought some new ones about 7 years ago when we moved to this house and i hardly ever use them. I keep just pulling out the old ones especially since it's usually just myself and husband who eat here. There are a few cases in So Cal but none here in the mountains where I live. Sounds like you have a lot of fun times ahead with family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for appreciation dear Sandy :)
DeleteIt is true that being few family members who eat no need feel to use many or new kitchen ware
We are four present at dining table so mostly old dishes are fine with us unless there are guests to serve
This is a lovely set of dishes. I love the small flowers on the design. It is beautiful!! Have a good week!!
ReplyDeleteYour dishes are lovely, Baili, and now you can feel happy to serve your guests any time. We are dealing with the virus here near Seattle, too. It is difficult for families with schools closed and people working from home. Praying that you and your loved ones stay healthy. Sending hugs and blessings xo Karen
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from you dear Karen :)
DeleteHere we also dealing with uncomfortable feeling regarding virus
Marchsuppose to be a last month for final studies in school and college as examination usually take place at the end of March or beginning of April so parents and teachers both are concerned and frustrated due to sudden unexpected vacation
Stay safe you too my friend
Que conjunto de louça bonito! O coronavírus já começou a assustar-nos aqui em Portugal. Tenham cuidado por aí.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.
Um beijo.
The set is really nice, I think you will use it many many years
ReplyDeleteI think your dinner set looks very nice …
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
That is a pretty set of plates and your family can enjoy using it for years and years. I hope the Coronavirus stops spreading in every country. Have a peaceful and joyful month.
