one of the teachers at work said today that she had some very nice kitchen stuff, dishes etc, brand new from Crate and Barrell that she wanted to give me if I wanted them. It was A LOT so I asked her if she was sure she wanted to give it all to me and not share with others, she said no...I want you to have this if you want it. I said of course it is all beautiful and things I could never buy for myself

1 wooden cutting board about 12x18

6 white ceramic cereal bowls

6 plastic glasses that look glass

6 Staffordshire plates with beautiful bamboo brush painting on them

2 black and red bowls with fruits and vegies on them (these really match my kitchen) she said that she has the matching platter and hor dorves(sp) sectioned plate

a set of 3 nested mixing bowls with blue edging

a big white plastic chip and dip bowl seperated for each like a shell kinda

a stainless steel apple corer

and 2 10 lb bags of russet potatoes!

man, I can throw out some of these old ratty plates and bowls that I have had for ages. What a windfall! I am feeling very lucky today, don't know why she chose me to gift it to but I sure do love these things!
