What Does Your China Say About You?
Ever wonder what your China Pattern says about you? Let's take a look at this.
After realizing a few weeks ago that my first "love" in china around 4th grade was this:
(Shocked aren't you? I now work in the "Cheetah Lounge")
And that I ended up with this (because I am married to a man....)
(and it goes better with a home built in 1865 and living in hunt country)
And then, I got obsessed with what China Pattern RockStarMommy has!
So, as my mind wandered, I began to wonder what makes people choose some of this stuff...and so came this...
If you have the following types of patterns - this is what type of person you are:
LIGHT
Girlfriend, you are not very assertive are you? You are dainty, lighthearted, and can often be mistaken for a doormat. Let's hope your food is very colorful and vibrant!!
RIMMED
Girlfriend, you are one classy chick. You like things simple, elegant and classic. Just a touch of bling shows that you don't need to show off your good fortune, but its there alright. (and it keeps your husband from putting them in the microwave)
ORNATE
Girlfriend, you don't cook do you? You must just hang this on the wall. Has it ever seen a piece of food? and if so, the pattern is more prominent than the dinner, huh?
COLORFUL
Girlfriend, WHAT is this? Are these dishes? or sculpture? Do you live in a house? or a museum? You might be artistic, but you are screaming for the 'arty' attention. For your next marriage, you might need to tone it down a notch.
REFINED
Girlfriend, we'll have breakfast at your house!!! This is like the 'little blue box' of dinnerware. Your friends will LOVE it, not sure what the menfolk think....
FLORAL
Girlfriend, you are officially a grandma. Obviously, you are a very old-fashioned gal. BUT, take of those granny-panties and live a little will ya???
DARK
Girlfriend, grown out of goth yet?? Geez, who needs to eat when they are dead? Turn those dishes into the nearest mortuary and get yourself some LIFE!
Got some others you'd like us to dissect? Send your photo or a link into thechicks@chickchatradio.com, and we'll go to town on you too!!!
Cheers! Heidi
P.S. this is the china I think RSM has.....

HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?! haha. Have you been stalking me again?!
Yipes! I have the plainest of plain white china, and it's all stacked in the boxes it came in, in my parents' basement, where it's been since I got married 2 years ago, and where it will probably be for the rest of my life.
What does that mean about me? I'm a ghost?
Oh dear.
I guess mine would be considered a floral. But in all fairness, I didn't pick it out. About 2 years before I got married, my rich aunt shipped me this fancy china that she purchased at some antique store on a whim. It's pricy stuff and she realized that she didn't need it seeing as how she already had three other sets of china. So she gave it to me and the only time we use it is on Thanksgiving. And this year we're going out of town for Thanksgiving and not hosting the meal ourselves, so I guess the china will stay packaged up for another year.
A few questions:
1. Why in the world did you have a favorite china design in fourth grade?
2. How do you remember what it was?
3. How did you find a picture of it?!!
I'm blown away.
ok Miss Jill: gifted China gives you a pass....you didn't pick it out!! (and we're all jealous you have a 'rich aunt'!!)
Amy: I'd say at first the food is most important to you (hence white) BUT, having a life is much more fun, yay!!!
Anon: I'm a bit strange....my mom and I were always talking decorating, dishes etc, and we would pick our "dream team." I didn't remember until I started decorating our studio "The Cheetah Lounge -- it popped back into my head!!(and there are actually not that many standard china manufacturers and patterns in the world...it's been around a long time!!)
"Dream team" -- love it! So Heidi, does that mean you also played the catalogue game? Ya know...where you go through crazy catalogues and pick one thing from each page to "buy"? Or am I alone in my deep nerd-dom?
I'm with Anonymous - you people are FREAKS!
