Oh dear, we could end up with quite a bit. I inherited two sets. I am bringing my Waterford...all of it. How much China. Again, I have two sets. The dry cleaners lost my best damask tablecloth. You will have to provide table linens, though I have a dozen napkins.
At this rate, we may need an entire wing, three bedrooms with baths, sitting room and dining area.
Oh AuntiE - I spent nearly 30 years in the luxury linens business. I probably have over 200 damask/linen/Madeira/monogrammed napkins, plus more tablecloths than is decent. And I just bought some dishes at auction that I have to hide from John in the storage unit for a while so he won't be mad at me for being frivolous. We may be dotty (and possibly drown in the damned bathtub) but we will all eat on beautifully appointed tables!
