saville garden



yesterday the ups man stopped at my house. i dont know about you, but when that big brown truck stops at the end of my driveway, i am like a little kid on christmas morning. anyway, the ups man delivered a nice sized box to my front porch and as soon as he left i ripped into the box.

the box did not contain new knives. no new pans. not spices or exotic ingredients. ... now, before i tell you what was in the box, i have to tell you the story of this purchase. i have actually been waiting for this since april. that is a long time, for me anyhow. this is something i didnt actually need but wow, what a nice addition to the table. ready? service for 12 flatware! and not only did i just get the flatware .... serving pieces were also included! TA DA!!!

do you know how many years its been since i have had matching flatware? me either. its been ... a while. quite a while actually. matter-of-fact, i think the last time i got new flatware was when my daughter was in school. whew, it was time, past time.

so, when i host the dinner that the flatware will debut, you will know. i cant wait. the holidays will be here before we know it, the family will all gather in this little town and the flatware, the reed and barton-saville garden, flatware will serve us.

ohhhhhhhh, the little things.

cheers!
