No more plastic

When we first moved here, we had to buy almost everything to furnish a home. It was amazing how quickly the money went, and by the time it came to buy dishes our budget would only allow plastic. We bought some blue and yellow plastic dishes, and they've been quite handy. However, in this culture serving a guest on plastic would be insulting. We borrowed some white dishes from a friend so we could serve guests, eventually hoping to get some nice dishes.


Well, that day finally came! A group of friends from the states pitched in and sent us money to buy some dishes! We are so incredibly blessed! I went shopping with a friend and found a really nice set of china that can withstand limitless trips to the dishwasher. Also, these dishes are made in this country, so when one breaks, I can easily get it replaced.


I posted this blog to show off my new dishes. Thanks to all those friends who pitched in so we can serve ourselves and our guests on something other than plastic! And a big thanks to Tiffany who walked the narrow streets and crowded shops to get me the best deal on china!
