LOL Escapee I'm not a hunter, the only brother in my family that doesn't hunt, but I still like all the wild life stuff. I have pheasant, duck, and deer pictures hanging all over the place. My latest wild life craving has been eagle stuff, I have a round glass table that the base is designed like an eagle swooping down to her nest, I just love it.

Thanks Jagger, I've already picked out a couple of things I want. I'll go over to the Marketplace now.

Mocha, With the exception of my dining room suite, my entire house is full of Ashley furniture. I love that store!

I have to jump on the Ashley bandwagon myself. I could go broke in there. Not just on the furniture I love their accents also.

Ashley is a brand like Ethan Allen, Lazy Boy or Bassett. You can check out their site and find a retailer near you HERE

http://www.ashleyfurniture.com/ Ashely is make to order. They only have showrooms. You have to order your furniture. Sometimes you can catch a discontinued item and buy it right off the floor at a great discount. That is how I got the cabinet for my living room.

Escapee that is a great price if they are Ashley furniture, at least compared to the Ashley Furniture stores around here, everything is extremely expensive in the one I've been in. Belle I left you a message over in the Marketplace area.

I paid less than $1000 for both peices. I think the loveseat was $399.00 and the sofa was $449.00 You can get ashley furniture at most furniture galleries as it is a national brand. I happened to get a great deal here in N. Cal. I have to order the tables, though.

How is the shopping for the home decor going Escapee? I really like some of the wildlife stuff on the above links.

Here are the picture of the goodies I got from Jagger. Everyone that has come in and seen the mirror has fallen in love with it.

Biloxibelle I am glad you liked them, and that mirror with the candle holders looks great between the two windows. I'm hoping your telling everyone where they can get a set of those candle holders and mirror. I really love the detail in the elephants, they look so real.

Does anyone own porcelain dinnerware and do you like it? I'm in the market for something new, and while out there looking around, it seems I keep picking up the porcelain. How does it hold up, clean up, shatter or just chip, etc? Thoughts/suggestions/brands? As of today, I'm leaning toward a Crate and Barrel set, but that will probably change by tomorrow, ha. thx much

All I can say is Corelle rocks. But that's cuz there are little kids here. I like them cuz they are thin and durable and stack neatly.

You got it Julie - Corelle is the best you can buy, it lasts forever, takes up much less space, doesn't chip (if it does you can get them replaced) and great for kids. They have a nice patterns as well.

LOVE my Corelle. I am a bit clutzy, so durability was the number one factor. I also seem to remember my gran had a set back in the late 80's, so they remind me of her.

http://www.corelle.com/ here is the web-site so you can see all of the styles and patterns. I should not have gone there, 'cause I now see a new set of dishes in my future!

Add me to the list of Corelle gals. Thanks for the link, Jedisan, but you're correct...shouldn't have gone there! My set is Calloway and I love that it is light and easy to store. My "good" dishes are so much heavier and not nearly as easy to store.

Hate to tell ya, Penguin, but I'm a Corelle person, too! I love the whiteness of the white, and the cute little pattern around the edges. They don't stain and are lightweight. My friend has Pfaltzgraff and when I cut something on it, like meat, my teeth jump right out of my mouth! I'd suggest a test cut on whatever kind you buy!

Mine is called Apricot Grove. They have apparently changed the coffee cups, because they also had the pattern and were much more delicate looking than these:

I currently have the "Casa Flora". but am thinking of getting something more contemporary - I liked the "Uptown". ETA: They are so easy to clean too.

Very cool that Mamelanche, Skootz, and I have the same dishes! Yay, Apricot Grove wins! So you two have different mugs because your sets are older, right? The one in the picture is very plain and a bit more "muggishy square" than the ones I have. Here is the coffee cup that came with my set:
