I am slated to receive this china from a relative who has passed on. It's nice but not quite my style or.......maybe I don't know how to use this style. Any suggestions?

Use it with love. Think about when you use it. A wonderful light supper with a loved one. Lunch on a sunny day! A day where you decide to dress up for no reason. I think finger sandwiches would look wonderful on it.

Have a tea party with good friends.

That's good advice, LoriMi. OCR happens to be one of the most enduring and best-loved patterns of all time. I happen to think it's beautiful (actually it's my "good" china pattern), but if it's not your taste, it's not your taste.

Thanks Lori - good suggestions. I have Lenox ""Solitaire"" which is more me. Simple but elegant. This pattern is very different to me.

Old Country Roses is a pattern that I'd love to have. I think it is beautiful.

Love Roses, set the table with linens and crystal and have the most romantic dinner. It could lead to a whole lot more!

Years ago, just before CVN was acquired by QVC, they had a close-out sale on this pattern and I bought the entire set. Best deal I ever got!

You could always set your dining room table (which in my house we use less and less) and display this beautiful china. I leave mine up for several months before changing out, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It looks beautiful in my dining room. Enjoy!!

It's a very popular pattern. It's not my style, so I'd funk it up a bit by mixing it with some contemporary pieces and interesting linen choices. However, if it's your thing you could do a very classic table.

We've been married for almost 33 years this April, trust me sweetie, it ain't gonna happen. The old grey mare just ain't what she used to be.

Good suggestion. I will also inherit the charger plates as well.
