SPRING 2018 Collection ~ Is it just me, or do we all accumulate stories as time passes? I remember the first set of Gien dishes I puchased. It was in San Francisco at Gumps. I was a young woman just outfitting my first real home...and I went to Gumps. In those days the store was in an old building, and the elevator stopped at your floor with a THUD. But anyone who was anyone knew GUMP's had the best. I wandered onto what I recall as the 3rd floor where there was the most amazing dinnerware, crystal, flatware, sterling...and a very old lady who worked there came over to ask if she could help. It was when times were more civilized than today, because if you ask that question now...you are shouted down by "CAN I JUST LOOK?". I took her over to set of dinnerware I liked and she brought them out of the back room for me to inspect. I loved them, and said I would take them...as she was preparing the invoice she told me to make sure I always stored the dinnerware when not using them in the original cartons...and never, ever discard the cartons. That the cartons would become as valuable as the contents. Do people even care anymore? I have the beautiful dinnerware, and the cartons. And many more. "Buy Well Once". World Wide Shipping.
