dippy bird Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 As a lot of you know,I am cooking a christmas dinner for 22 members of my family tomorrow. I always have to loan plates off my mum as obviously I don't own 22. Well, today I have done my mums food shopping for her,and then picked up loads of christmas pressies which have to be shared out amongst the family tomorrow.There was a huge heavy box with mine and my OH's name on it and she said that when we got home,we had to open it.So of course we did.Guess what it was? A new dinner service!! But the best part of it is,it's got hand painted chickens on it!! It's gorgeous!!! Aren't mums ace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dippy bird Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 They are really heavy stone as well and all hand painted so each chicken is slightly different. My mum is a star! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
