(We save our finds for future parties, but you can always donate them back if you don’t need them after the party.)

I hit up Goodwill this morning for the very same purpose. Though, I will be holding onto my finds (like an AWESOME handpainted serving bowl, glass pitcher, and cute mismatched tea cups and saucers). We are planning a tea party for my four year old and I want everything to be reusable. I'm also hosting a gathering her on Saturday evening, the ladies are coming over for wine, food and chit chat. For now, I still have room in my "party cabinet" for a few more items... I hate to think what I will do when it fills up!!!! :) Heh… I hit up Goodwill this morning for the very same purpose.

I know someone very close to me who will remain nameless who does the same thing, buying plates & silverware when needed. Except it's all still stacked in the basement. I love it.
