The love language of using the good china

On a recent Saturday, Anne Hagman hosted three girlfriends for a casual brunch. I love invitations to Anne's Dalton Gardens home. She's a joyful and gracious hostess for gatherings large and small.

One unique feature of any brunch, luncheon, dinner, patio appetizers or even our annual girlfriends' slumber parties at her cabin on Lake Coeur d'Alene ... every meal is served on beautiful china. Two hutches at home and one at the cabin hold an eclectic collection of both heirloom pieces from her mother's wedding china and Anne's Royal Doulton "country roses" pieces from Costco. We've enjoyed mimosas at the cabin in beautiful crystal glasses, too.
