Our cleaning lady was upset that she broke one our mugs. I wasn't. I buy them from the potter around the corner and she always has them in stock to counter my frequent breakage. Once I even broke a new mug before I'd walked ten steps from the store.
For a crazy moment I thought, maybe I should buy three for a total of eight. Then I thought why? We've never, ever had to use more than six at a time.
We often entertain for breakfast and when we do, we serve coffee we use the 10 Euro demitasse set found at a vide grenier.
Our champagne glasses are six. I love them.
Those two items would be hard to replace. I handle with extra care.
When we entertain large groups say for a tree-decorating or some other reason just to get together, I find pretty paper dishes and napkins (we use cloth for everyday and under four people for dinner or breakfast.)
I do like pretty entertaining, however, there is no way I would ever want my cupboards stocked with dishes I bring in out infrequently. Give me less.
And as for entertaining it is the company, conversation and food that is important.
