My word Stephanie!! your collection of china, dishes, crystal and silver is OUTSTANDING!! I love the flow blue, the rooster set, your wedding set. Oh my just everything! What you use for Easter is also incredible!

Each and every table setting is gorgeous. You could use a different set everyday of the year. How special everything looks! You took amazing pictures.
Loved this show and tell very much!!
