Well it only took me 3 years, 10 months and 11 days to take my wedding china out of the boxes and actually put it all away.  That’s what I did this past Sunday.  What took so long you ask?  Well living in the apartment in Hoboken had it’s limits storage wise- I mean we had winter hats and gloves in our kitchen cabinets!  So no room for a nice hutch or china cabinet.  Now that we are in our house and I have been gifted a lovely hutch from my Great Aunt I can put all those wedding gifts and lots of other things I had stored in my parents basement away in our own home.  I can  also actually use them now too-ha!  The thought of using them makes we want to have a dinner party.  Also we want to host Thanksgiving at our house this year!  Then I can really use all of the china:)  Although I don’t have any matching serving platters or bowls for our wedding china I do have some from another set of china I had gotten from my Great Aunt as well.  I actually have 3 sets of china but none of them have all the pieces to them or some have chips, etc.  What 32 year old has 3 sets of china?  I really love dishes and kitchen stuff:)

Here are the boxes at my parents house- 4 sets are missing because I took those home a couple weeks ago.

Here it is in the hutch with our toasting flutes from the wedding- which I just realized are the same pattern as the china.

The pattern is Opal Innocense by Lenox in white.  I originally wanted something with more color but didn’t really like any of the options at the time so I figure I can add color to these with other accents and of course food!
