Well, at least it was for me :-)
My Christmas gifts arrived today... FINALLY, after a month of anticipation. I am so spoiled! I have had this secret desire for new silverware for several years now, but just couldn't bring myself to mention it. Silverware is EXPENSIVE you know! The fact that we had a total of approx. 8 forks (dinner and salad combined) and company coming got me looking around. Our initial thought was to scavenge at the thrift stores... however, I think everyone must have lost their forks because there wasn't a single fork around (though we did manage to find some spoons). BUT THEN we found this amazing deal at Oneida.... a year end CLEARANCE... woohoo (I love the word clearance)! So, we bought a whole set... they are beautiful!!! I love them! And, they came just in time for our company a couple weeks ago.
Unfortunately we didn't get to share the rest of our gift with company... the cookware was back-ordered and only just arrived this afternoon. I put them right to use (though I have to admit that I considered using an old pan... cuz I didn't want to get my new one dirty and all... foolish, I know, but they are just so pretty and shiny!). It's going to take a little learning cuz they cook very differently than my old ones... but dinner was definitely delicious!

So glad for you... wish I would have known you wanted silverware! I have a whole brand new box of it out in storage... I am a weird person, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the miss matched set I have collected from the thrift store... every piece is different and I love them! I try to collect as many patterns and shapes as I can... a weird collection, I know, but it makes me happy!
Celebrating withy you today! Love the cooking set.... I think I need one of those!
