"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

I'm so glad to see your posts again! My mom wanted to try something new years ago so she gave me the same set you have and I love them. They're very lightweight and easy to clean...plus, I love the fact it's what what I used as a kid. I'm stuck on them and the Peanuts glasses you could get at McDonald's.

I never cared for the Corelle dishes. I used to use my grandma's Desert Rose dishes, but then I started collecting my own Fiestaware in the different colors (before it was cool! LOL!). Aside from simply changing it up, I now find that I really like using my Spode Christmas dishes after Thanksgiving mainly because they are much lighter than Fiestaware. I may end up using Corelle after all! I have a box that is a mix from my husband and my other grandmother stored away.

Ah, Corelle. I'm a dishaholic, but for the last 14 years, I've used only Corelle Winter Frost White. Boring to some, the white works for any situation: dresses up with napkins/tablecloth for holidays, dresses down with paper towels for daily use. As much as I love the many Pfaltzgraff patterns, I no longer want to handle heavy dishes. As for fine china, I sold mine to Replacements 25 years ago and haven't looked back. I love old fashioned blue speckled enamelware, but that doesn't work so well in the microwave. So Corelle WFW it is for me. Great post, Suzanne!

I got a set of Old Town Blue when I got married in 1980. I have been using them every day since then. I still love them just as much today as I did then. I pick up pieces at garage sales etc. whenever I see them. I also have the matching pyrex pieces. Just love them!

I love you "new" dishes. I am a blue and white dish person as well. I have collected Blue Willow for 60 plus years and also have the Brook Blue pattern and we use it every day, China was meant to be used. I remember when corelle fist came on the market, it was so popular, one reason it seemed like families were largerback then and there were no dish washers except us kids and we broke our share of dishes. Blue and white dishes set a pretty country table, they always look so fresh and pretty.

I received Corelle as a wedding gift in 1994 and growing up quite poor, thought it was REALLY NICE STUFF. lol. And it's fine - it's still all I use except for the one week out of the year I use my Christmas dishes. I'd love some nice stoneware dishes but I have college to pay for now, so no. Btw, glad you're back!

You can have the Corelle – I WANT THE CAKES!

If I were to receive a goody bag at an event then a Pepperoni Roll would be awesome. A consumable and savory treat. Eat it and be done. No trinket to have to store or get rid of later.

I like Corelle because it's lightweight and microwavable. I can't handle heavy dishes anymore. Can't even use my mom's glass mixing bowls anymore and have switched to stainless steel mixing bowls. My Corelle is all mix and match from thrift stores and yard sales.
