#tableware

For many years, I have been friends with a person who is intellectually disabled. I became acquainted with him and his sister, who cared for him; his sister has now died, and he is living independently. I take him on family camping trips, take him to lunches and dinners and visit with him often, as does the rest of my family. He and my son have developed a solid friendship. After his sister died, his sister's longtime best friend became his legal guardian. She thanks me for the things I do for and with him e.g., Thank you for taking (name) camping, etc. I knew him for years before I ever met her. Is it wrong or petty of me to resent her thank-yous? I do not feel they are necessary, as my friendship with this man is something I chose, not something I am doing out of the goodness of my heart or any other such sentiment. How do I handle this? GENTLE READER: By responding each time with, No, no, it is I who am thankful to have such a good friend.

These stacking sake cups make every sip feel intentional and special. The cool touch of tin in your hand, the gentle clink as you pour, and the way the cups nest together when not in use all help create a sense of ceremony.

Swindling customers can't seem to help themselves from bringing home more than leftovers. Restaurant patrons are willing to pull an 'Ocean's Eleven' all for a measly bottle of ketchup.

The best table linens provide a sophisticated backdrop for showcasing your latest dinnerware finds and adding a moment of thoughtfulness to your decor.

"Founded in the '90s by Francis Gelb, Sabre's mission was to infuse whimsy into cutlery, marrying quality craftsmanship with colorful, inviting designs for personal expression."

The collection features vibrant colors and patterns designed for summer entertaining, integrating well with other summer linens and glassware from Hudson Grace.

In a world brimming with cookie-cutter ceramics and all-too-familiar furniture, standing out often takes a splash of bold color, a twist of creativity, and a generous helping of quirk.
