Hi Karen

You might wanna try scouting out the second-hand shops for decent kitchen ware-
especially glasses and silverware (avoid anything electronic). One day I found
a 12 qt Revereware stock pot w/ lid for $9 in perfect condition and grabbed it.
Anothe rtime I found a ton of restaraunt style soup spoons (they are slightly
rounder and larger than reg teasoon) for 25 cents each so I bought 20 of 'em.
I also scout the silverware for unusual pieces like seafood forks, grapefruit
spoons and butter knives. You can also pick up interesting serveware
sometimes. I collect copper and tin molds and have found some really cool ones
in second-hand stores. Oh and my small iron wok came from a second-hand store.
It's much nicer (and was cheaper) than my aluminum one even though it is much
smaller.

Have fun and welcome to the states!

*cheers*
