My mother-in-law found that hers seemed to be more breakable as they've aged (30 yrs), but she also has a hard tile floor in her kitchen. I love all the different patterns available, too. Something for everyone!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753847168007127855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-21299578187929046592010-04-06T23:29:11.191-08:002010-04-06T23:29:11.191-08:00We can get them at Wal-Mart and we usually will ge...We can get them at Wal-Mart and we usually will get at least two of the LARGE bowls along with any set. Actually, I really lucked out and found a set abandoned at my college! It was a plain white set (different from yours though) and it was a four or eight piece set and then we just added to it from stuff at Wal-Mart. I'm leery of their glasses though. I'm very worried about glasses due to having been severely cut on my hand washing a glass that shattered WHILE I would be twisting my hand inside of it (this happened twice though the second time I caught it before it could do any real damage but the first time, ugh, I have some pretty bad scars from it) so I prefer those nice thick bar glasses. Those things NEVER break.<br /><br />When I go back to the US, I'll have to get another set since I gave away the set I did have.

I don't believe in taking up space for "Christmas china" (and not letting kids use it...where's the fun in that?!) so I chose a pattern I felt could be versatile (the ivy one). They make me happy every time I eat off them, which is daily. And man do I thank my stars when I drop a plate! And to think of it, I've never broken a Correlle wear piece ever.<br /><br />In California, they have Correlleware outlets, which rocks. That's where I got all the pieces that I didn't pick up at a garage sale. We sadly don't have Fred Meyer.Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340875552393770649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-58024675629250287472010-04-06T13:33:32.669-08:002010-04-06T13:33:32.669-08:00The next dishes that hubbie and I get will most li...The next dishes that hubbie and I get will most likely be Corelle. Our current dishes are stoneware and in the three years since our wedding, hubbie has broken 2 dinner plates, a salad plate, a bowl, and at least 2 mugs - and none of those were dropped. I will admit he has a hidden talent for breaking dishes, but the persnicketiness of the stoneware doesn't help. :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027223974027853544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-85679210781995614642010-04-06T11:04:43.270-08:002010-04-06T11:04:43.270-08:00That's the exact set we bought when we first g...That's the exact set we bought when we first got married and for pretty much the exact same reasons as you.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882043477529326856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-88947826124769436682010-04-06T10:09:25.019-08:002010-04-06T10:09:25.019-08:00...unless, of course, they discontinue your patter......unless, of course, they discontinue your pattern :) The one I have is called "First of Spring" and my mom picked it out for me and bought me two boxes (4 place settings) the Christmas I was 16. I think it was discontinued about 5 minutes after she bought it, lol! Thankfully, I've been able to find it on Ebay and I got extra cereal bowls, berry bowls, and lunch plates. I even found some pasta bowls to add to my set... <br /><br />My 2 year old broke (shattered!) a bowl a few weeks ago when she was "helping" me take them out of the dishwasher. The only ever piece I've seen break was when a workman dropped a hammer on one of my mom's plates.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269464228066647267noreply@blogger.com
