ambericaI like Urban Red the best right now - matches my red kitchen stuff (and all the retro-red stuff I'm going to register for!)... but I also like Fresco, although not nearly as much.
I think before I make up my mind I should go to the Corelle store in the Albertville mall and look at patterns there, and see what kind of other pieces are available for all patterns.
Then again, I might just keep my Butterfly Gold set for a few years longer. It works just fine, it's nice and neutral, and I grew up with them so they are special to me. Plus I have something like 12 of every size plate, bowl, and cup (my brothers each have a few more settings of the same set), and 2 serving bowls and a nice platter. It's fun to have a relatively complete set of matching dishes, even if they are slightly dated. New "everyday" dishes can always wait.
And I am getting my great-grandmother's beautiful china, anyway. And a hutch to display it in! And my GOOD silverware, which I actually recieved for my high-school graduation, but my mom has kept it in storage for me since I really don't have any use for a fine set of silver anyway. I use the old set that used to belong to Grandma S., and hey, as long as it's all matching, I got no complaints. But I guess it will be nice to have a nice set of china and silver... in case I ever feel like I want to get all fancy and impress company or something.
