I say it depends on the dream. In this case, it has always been one of mine to have a set of china for my hope chest. Not just teacups, teapot etc., but the whole shabang.
So, as you can imagine, when my grandma called and said that my great-aunt Shirley had a full set of china she didn't have room for any longer, she heart did a little skip. But there were questions to be answered.
What was the pattern? Was it pretty? Was it chipped? Or pieces missing? And the big one, I have two other sisters that also have an interest in the china, and no guarantees that I'll even get it.
So it turn out the china is beautiful, it's a set for eight, with dinner plates, and dessert plates, and soup bowls, and dessert/ice cream bowls, and eight teacups + saucers, and a sugar and creamer, and veggie bowl and gravy boat, and we'd all like to have it.
Only fair way to see who gets it? Roll a dice.
Which we did. After dinner. So who got the china?
Me. So, like I said, do dreams come true? This one did.

Oh how exciting! What is the name of the pattern? It's beautiful!
What a beautiful set! You must have been happy! <3
Hmmm... I'm not sure what the name is, I looked at one point but I can't remember, and now it's all boxed up and put away! I think I'll call it "Dreamy." :-)
Mine didn't... :-)
Very, very, fun Em! The china is beautiful! Now you need to find a set of silver...
Hopefully you can find some matching plates somewhere. It would be sad if your future brood had to be limited six. Wait! I had an idea! Double up and share the plates! Then you can have fourteen!
