Oh my gosh, I just have to comment.....a woman after my own heart.....
Except mine is silverware. And not even real silver - stainless. Here's the deal. When I was a teenager, Betty Crocker had point things on their boxed cake mixes, ect. Angel Food cakes were 3 pointers! With these points, you could buy nice stainless steel silverware in pretty patterns.
I baked my way into a whole set, complete with serving utensils and carving knives. I even have a special box to house them. My Rose is the pattern. I have iced tea spoons and demitasse spoons too.
I ask myself every day, Why don't I use them? We used to, for special occasions, but in the last 16 years, not so much. My daughter thought they were real silver, the way I took care of them. She tells me to use them. I use one fork, one knife.
Girl, get it out and serve yourself something decadent on it now! And you to, beautiful Autumn! The special day you are waiting for is right now. Celebrate and dive into the moment cause it is the only one that's guaranteed.

It is just that they are so pretty. Crazy, huh?
