A Night at the Townsend House

Last Wednesday, Mama and went to Townsend House for me to register for my dishes.  I asked Gill several times if he wanted to go, but he would never agree to it.  I knew he could care less about the whole thing, but I wanted to ensure he knew he was wanted!

It ended up being a lot less stressful then I had envisioned (maybe due to the Chardonnay we enjoyed while there!)  We were in and out in an hour and ten minutes!  I am so happy with everything I chose and the decisions were much easier than I anticipated thanks to Ms. Kim's great help!

My everyday dishes are Meridian-Cream by Casafina.  Ours will be all cream.  I love that I will be able to change out linens and table decor for the seasons and our dishes will still look great.

My crystal is Downing Cuts by Kate Spade.  I knew before I went and looked that I definitely wanted cut crystal.  I have my Bog Mamaw's crystal and it is has flowers and vines etched on it.  It is beautiful, but I love how the lights reflects off of the cuts.

My absolute favorite thing I chose is the china pattern.  Our china is Bonnabel Place and it is also Kate Spade.  I love the fun pattern that it is a little more untraditional, but I think it since it is so muted that it will be timeless.  I think I get happier with it everytime I look at it!

The trim looks black in the picture, but it is silver.  I love it!
