So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Moving to a New Home and Need Some Dishes

By Jessica Hayton

If you ever want to move out of the house, you will need to buy dishes eventually. Check out this post if you are looking to not spend a bundle on something that you almost have to buy.

Getting dishes from the salvage store is a great way to save some money and not having to sacrifice. With dishes washed pretty much every time they are used, buying them anywhere will look like new.

Hardware stores sometimes carry heavy frying pans, teakettles, etc. Since these items are not fast movers in a hardware store, you can often get a great price on them.

Many people go to ceramic classes, and they are a good place to make your own dishes. You paid already, so why not make something useful for yourself and your family.

You can often find nice dishes from a yard sale or flea market. They might think it's old, but good dishes never become bad. You can also often find good electric cookware there too.

One warning though. Never buy dishes with cracks obviously so check diligently to see if there are any chips. One small imperfection can lead to a broken dish very quickly.

Those that don't have much money should just buy the biggest dish and save themselves storage space as well as money. You can always use a bigger dish in place of a small one.

Warehouses selling furniture, books, tools or electrical products sometimes sell dishes at a premium, so never go there to buy any or you will be sorry when you find out.

Some scratches and chips are impossible to see with the naked eye. Once you've looked them over, rub your finger against the mouth and bottom of the dish or glass.

Don't pass up thrift stores specializing in clothing or sundry household products. These can be one of the best places to look for bargains when it comes to shopping for used dishes since few people would expect to find them there.
