In this economy, I question does the U.S. need any more china in the White House? Maybe the Obamas won't pick out any more. What am I saying? - I can't keep from buying more dishes either!!!

I could only hope to be accidentally locked in that room!! Can you imagine! I believe each President can create a set of china if they wish. Unfortuantely, theirs just took so long that they can't enjoy it. Do you think the Obamas will invite them back so they can have a formal dinner using the plates? lol I'd sneak some mac and cheese at least on one of those plates before I left! Have a great weekend and stay warm!! We are continuing to be hopeful as things continue to improve here at home!...hugs...DebbieConfessions of a Plate Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14264220207447111061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452607877223303862.post-70382377545946882212009-01-16T00:48:00.000-05:002009-01-16T00:48:00.000-05:00Hi Debbie,They are both really beautiful and very ...Hi Debbie,<BR/>They are both really beautiful and very charming. <BR/>I love the butterfly.
