Aha well this changes things - are you sure she hasn't got it somewhere for "special occasions"?? That's where our good full cutlery set is. We don't use it often.
I don't think so, they have alot of occasions at their house, MIL 60th, FIL 60th, Christmas, Easter ect and they have not been bought out. It was a $300 set but nothing to fancy, just a really good brand.
