It was my turn to Hostess and everyone LOVED the table set with Grandma's good china and her silver, both from Germany and misc. OLD stemware.
Now remember...I'm an amateur at this, LOL!
Their on-line presence SUCKS, though. Any time I went to order something I liked it would end up being ‘In Store Only!’
I checked their online store also. It’s pathetic.
I’m a “tablescaper”, someone who collects tons of dishes, crystal, figurines, table linens, etc. and creates elaborate “themed” tables for birthday parties, family dinners, just for fun. I actually have to rent off-site storage for all my tablescaping things, Mr. RooRoo was tired of all the closet, garage cabinet and other storage spaces I was hogging up LOL.
Pier One was one of my top places to shop for tablescaping things, especially in the spring and Easter seasons.
So now, the only reliable places I can shop that are worthwhile:
—Williams Sonoma
—Pottery Barn
—Home Goods (in-store only)
—eBay (lots of like-new vintage items, even overseas “stores)
—Amazon
—Etsy
—Replacements.com (out of production china, crystal and flatware)
—Dillards (very so-so, online is best)
—ShopHQ—best place in the world to buy new on sale Waterford Crystal, including Marquis by Waterford, and House of Waterford
I am SO SAD about the demise of Pier One!!!
