Let me start by saying that John and I have very few things to start off a home, so anything, and everything, is appreciated. For those of you who would like an idea of what we need (or, in some cases, would just like), we did a registry at Sears. Just a word of advice, if the registry says an item is available by retail or catalogue, the catalogue has a sale price (usually) that isn't mentioned. So check the catalogue before purchasing at a Sears store. We don't really care about brand names (mainly due to ignorance, perhaps), but have picked out some specifics as follows.
Corelle- Callaway (green ivy)
Cutlery- Sand Dune Satin (Oneida)
China- Although we'd prefer the basics, if you're interested in china, I've chosen Moonlight Rose (Royal Albert).
Those of you just interested in colour schemes, or themes, here's as far as we've gotten... It's kind of hard when we don't have an apartment yet:)
Living Room- Navy blue, white/cream, and light blue.
Kitchen- Greens would be nice to follow through with an ivy theme, but it's just a kitchen...
Bedroom- Check the bedding colours--we'll attempt to co-ordinate with them.
Bathroom- A nautical theme is what we're going to attempt... We have a sailboat soapdish, drinking cup, and shower curtain, and a lighthouse toilet scrubber for example. I'd refer you to a neat bed and bath store in Qualicum Beach, but I doubt many, if any, of you would be getting there:) So, blues, greens, and some whites, etc.
For further information, or if you have questions, address them to Stephanie Nixon, my maid of honour (and sister), who has graciously offered to look after registry information for me!:)
