Dressing the table is a priority of mine. I am not sure how that happened. Too much Martha Stewart? Blinded by Williams Sonoma? From my earliest memories I have been enamoured of dishes, table settings and cook ware. I may have mentioned in the past that my first 'official' paycheck was used to buy bake-ware. My colleagues were buying cars, clothes, shoes and jewelry. I was scanning the shelves for the perfect measuring cups, the most sleek silverware. I know. might be a little odd. Oh well.
Not much has changed. Husband accepted all this a very long time ago. On a recent shopping trip to "The Strip" in Pittsburgh.,
here I found a new collection of Polish Pottery. In addition to every known ethic grocery known to man, there are kitchen supply, pottery, fabric and specialty shops to explore. With a laser beam I was on my way to the kitchen supply. My goal was to replace my two 8 inch square baking pans. The prior well used pans were to be recycled. I did find them, but that's not all. Enter the new, perfect for summer pattern, Teapot.
