  1. Happy Anniversary to Candy and TLRT! Yes, today we're celebrating the blog, but I'm also thinking of all of the dish fun that Candy has given us over the years, starting with Fiestafanatic. I've learned so much and made so many friends thanks to my fabulous dish mentor!

    All best wishes for many more years of Dish Divahood, my friend!

  2. Candy,
    I am a what I believe is a "lurker" but primarily a dish and seasonal accessory lover and through the years have bumped into and truly enjoyed your wonderful websites and beautiful photography. I recently learned about "tablescaping" through "MediumGreenCollectible" and have been awed and inspired by this community. I came this morning for a quick look and ended up hitting several of the top 25 spots that I had missed. I also appreciate all of the things you have shared that make me a more educated collector and just a dish and pottery fan. Thank you, congratulations and best wishes for many more happy years with family, friends and dishes!

  20. Happy Anniversary! In the last year I started to collect Fiesta and I LOVE IT! I thoroughly enjoy your blog and your creativity. I am impressed at where you store all your dishes and love the way you have your vintage fiesta displayed in the kitchen. I look forward to going antique shopping to hunt for vintage finds too. I live near a Replacements Ltd but they have nothing on your collection. It's absolutely beautiful!

  53. I just joined your blog and I have never seen so many cool displays of fiestaware. I just started going to the tent sales and my husband keeps asking me how much more can I come home with! He just doesn't get it. I do have to say though that I would tottaly love to see them come out with a knife block that has assorted colors on the handels of the knives. Can't wait to see all the other awesome things you do with fiestaware!
