A new crockery set

In need of a new crockery set - apparently not.
Our recent experience of living in 'volunteers' apartments is that nothing ever matches, sheets/pillowcases, chairs or crockery. I am sure that over the years generous people donate to the volunteers rather than throw things out, and then volunteers feel that they shouldn't be seen to throw things out because they have been so generously donated. We're definitely not going to throw out our trendy collection of dishes. We have a 'set' of 9 different dishes, which I have been reliably informed by some friends in the UK, is the 'in' thing at the moment, namely non-matching crockery. Is this the truth or were they just trying to make us feel better about our non-matching crockery, towels, random wall-pictures and our one and a half bedroom curtain/s. P

G'Day yall! The crockery mirrors us exactly. Once placed in our Lord's Hands we all become MORE than adequate! Blessings in all your labors! Maranatha! =)

And I thought it was only the food that stopped me being a missionary. It's the non matching stuff too. God is soooo good!!

It needs to be tastefully non-matching. Sort of thematic. A flush not a run. Yours just misses but nice try.
