I previously loved to occasionally wander through the store and fantasize about buying some beautiful, but overpriced, items that are obviously just take-offs and not really imports the way that I think of imports. However, I finally allowed myself the luxury of a full set of dishes, eight each of 5 different bowls, plates, side plates, etc., as well as a $25 mug for myself as a personal pampering. Mug chipped 3rd time I used it. All pieces of the dish set began chipping within weeks. At this point, I can't imagine going in to the store again.
