<p>[QUOTE="Hjarta, post: 3308582, member: 17416"]Well [USER=8363]@KikoBlueEyes[/USER], if it makes you feel any better, I’ve been losing my mind over this set of antique French <i>dinner </i>flatware set- so much so that my sweet husband bought it for me as a gift. It was a big purchase for us and I was so excited for it to get here from France. Until today. I had previously bought a single “dinner” fork and spoon of a different style and those arrived today. They are so huge I thought they were actually serving utensils- just over 8”! I looked up what “dinner” flatware and and apparently Continental Dinner Flatware is the largest size of flatware and the size we are used to nowadays is called “lunch” flatware. Maybe I should have done my homework.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So....I’m currently in the crushed fantasy camp, with a side of feeling like a dummy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
