There was a time when the dinner table used to be laid out in style specially when guests arrived. Not any more. We have a buffet table and that is where food is kept in vessels in which food is cooked. Sitting back I now wonder if it was really necessary for all that fanfare All that care we had to take dealing with the delicate crockery What about you? Image credit:

I do appreciate the beauty of a really nice table setting. I don’t use all of the nice tableware much anymore. I do use some special bowls and plates during the holidays.

@Tampa_girl7 My husband loved getting all those. I used them lavishly in my younger days.

We still use our 'good' crockery and cutlery from time to time but we have far too much of it.
