Are You a Dishaholic?

Are your cabinets filled with dishes that never see the light of day?

Can you not pass up a pretty cup, saucer or bowl at a yardsale or thrift store?

Do you have enough platters to feed Cox's Army?

 I love yellow. The bottom platter is melmac the top is an old china one.

 It is stamped on the back "Compliments of TONY'S FOOD MARKET 3400 E Fairmount Ave. It looks like a Homer Laughlin plate that was probably made special for Tony's Food Market.

If you answer yes to these questions, you are probably a DISHAHOLIC!


That's all right, you can join me at the local Dishaholic Anonymous Meeting. But, be warned. You are never cured and will probably be in recovery for the rest of your life.

I put these bowls and saucers together. I thought they would look nice

by the kitchen sink filled with my scrubbers, sponges and scrapers.
I think someone told me that the bowl on the right was put in oat boxes years ago. 
I have 3 more of those, two are plain and one has stars around the top.

Don't you just love the place mat under these. I think it is made from old colored plastic bread bags. I got the placemat and a runner just like it at a yard sale for around $1. She said her mother made it. I'm  not sure, but I would guess it was made in the 60s. Have you ever seen any of these? I think they are so pretty, can you imagine the time it took to make them.

 These eggcups, cups and saucers and bowls are great to hold candies or candles.

Here is a closeup of the plastic placemat.

I've only shown the tip of the iceberg.

Okay, everyone, 'fess up, are you a Dishaholic?
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

If we band together and hold hands, we can get through this together.
