Need Some New China?

When my husband was up for a big promotion last year, he became a bit of, well, a madman. He insisted on having his boss and her husband over for dinner — and that we should — I’m sorry, had to — get new tableware for the occasion. I had no probl

em with this (though I did chide him a bit, since I’d be telling him for months that we should buy a new set), and set to work finding a few options for him to choose from.

I narrowed it down to:

All had a simple yet elegant feel to them, with a fun, stylish flair. Understated, but enough to make our guest feel like, “Hey! They brought out their good stuff for us.” I had my husband take a look at them, and he said he wanted the mint-green Haviland (I think he sees it as more regal-looking). I personally was partial to the Vera Wang, but you win some, you lose some. My husband won this one — he got the promotion, though — and I haven’t had the heart to tell him this — I don’t know how much the tableware had to do with it.
