Cupboard Clean-Up (Bowls for Sale)

{Backstory: When our wedding date was near, G and I decided to buy a complete set of dinnerware instead of listing them in the registry. You know when you move in to a new house and you dream about all the parties you'll host at home for your friends? That hardly ever happened in the past 3.5 years we've been married and living here, even less so now that A has arrived. }

Even though I'm nursing a sore throat and mild cold/cough today, I decided to raid our kitchen cabinets and clear out the dinnerware we've never used. We like a fully-stocked kitchen (don't we all?), but ours was just overflowing with items we bought for ourselves, hand-me-downs, and couple gifts. 

Although, I'm still keeping many of what was in there, look what I found! These have never been used! Why we have so many of these, I will never understand (and I don't want to), so I'm putting them up for sale. We bought them at Gourdo's, but my price point is lower than their actual retail price. 

"Multi-purpose" is the operative word for any practical home-maker. Imagine all the lovely dishes you can serve in these pristine, porcelain bowls that can be used for soups, salads, and dessert!
9" (brand new)



Php 260.00 for all four 
(What a deal. Personally, I really like these bowls, they can be used to serve ulam.)

Whoever said rice was not good for the health never had rice served to them in these bowls (with lid). Atkins shmatkins! I'm Asian, serve me my rice in a bowl!



Php 280.00 for all four

About G (& G)

Hello, my name is Georgia, I'm 29, a wife, and a new mother of one. I've always dreamt of being a full-time housewife--cooking for my family, spending time with my daughter--it's easy to say that my dream has come true. I have a home-based baking and catering business that's been running for three years now, and I also write a column for a fitness magazine on the side. In between those and my household duties, I partner with my husband (the other "G") in whatever project he has for his line of work...or I go shopping...or I go online.

I put up this blog/selling site because I love to shop for my house. Unfortunately, not everything that catches my fancy actually matches or fits our modern mediterranean abode and lifestyle. Goodbye kitschy accessories, so long shabby chic lace tablecloths, and farewell funny stainless steel hook that only works as a banana hanger. As much as I want all this stuff in my house, in my real world, I don't have the budget or counter space. Or a husband who will appreciate them.

As you will see, I have a few pieces that have been collecting dust in our bodega since I married, never seeing the light of day that they obviously deserve. These items I have loved very much and, although difficult to part with, I must let go to make room for the walker my daughter has outgrown or the crib she never sleeps in. Others are wonderful items I find while on my shopping trips, and cannot go home without that I want to share with you.

Thank you for dropping by and hope you enjoy shopping with me.

Love, G.
