Edey:It took a long time for me to realize that crystal and silver and china just wasn't my style. I've got too much country in my background. Pfaltzgraf would have been more my style, but even that wasn't affordable.
I know what you mean. We may never have gotten into Pfaltzgraf if we hadn't come into my grandmother's set. On the other hand, my brother and his wife are into crystal and china, and have a Victorian house. We visit them and they visit us, and are perfectly happy.
Sometimes it takes some living for us to get comfortable with ourselves enough to admit what we really like and being perfectly happy to just 'be'. Other people who come to our house seem to think it's perfectly natural for us to be 'us' in our own enviroment. They of course, have the right to do the same in their own homes with no harassment from me! hehehe!
