At a point in my life I lost almost all my possessions. In fact, I was homeless for a while. While I now have dishes and glasses, I don't have nice things like I had before the losses. So, in a way, I understand your hesitancy in buying nice things. My suggestion is to go somewhere where you can buy one place setting of a pattern of dishes you like and purchase it. Just one setting would not be splurging too much and you could use it every day. If you can't bring yourself to buy the whole place setting just buy the plate, and then later, when you feel up to it, you can buy another piece. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.
