Now I hate to admit it but I do have some glasses & dishes in some boxes somewhere and I didn't show you our everyday dishes, but I think I've proven I'm totally a dish-aholic...can you imagine what my estate sale will be like when I die...LOL

For cryin'out loud girl. you could open up a shop. You're dish storage is more than I have in my whole house. But, you have some beautiful dishes. I think the only thing I collect is dust. LOL
Hugs,

I thought I was bad because I have them in the coat closet! It's a wonderful addiction isn't it? I could always find more dishes. :)
Oh my word girl...I thought I had a dish collection!!!! here I pass the royal crown over to you!!! lol lol Girl you need a shed!!! lol lol...you could rent dishes out for parties!!! lol lol Better yet you cook alittle something and cater those parties and you might have a nice little nest egg when you retire!!!!! lol lol Great collection girl...oh...just how big is your house..I think you had more cabinets in your laundry room than I have in my entire house!!! lol lol
Laughing my butt off! I am sooo glad I am not alone! I used to tell my hubby that I didn't have a problem until I started storing dishes under the bed. God, I hope he doesn't look under the bed. ;o)

Morning Bo! Girl you've got some dishes, don't cha? I love it! You're just so neat with them all, even in the garage!! I know Susan will be so proud to know you're a dishaholic like most of us!!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Oh, sweet Bo...I can't believe how close you and I run on our postings...I have a post up and ready to be posted TOMORROW on where all my dishes are stored. AMAZING how great minds run on the same tract....hahaha
I don't have NEARLY as many dishes as you do...GOOD GOSH, WOMAN...YOU GOT A LOTTA DISHES THERE!!
Bless you for showing us all of this. When my husband gets back today I'm showing him this post and telling him I need #1 a utility room with cabinets to put more dishes in #2 Some of his garage cabinets for more of my dishes!! You are a girl after my own heart!
Lordy lord woman, you've got an addiction alright. Let's have a party! I'll bring dessert!
Hugs, P
I am dragging J over here, to prove to him, I am not the only one with this affliction/addiction/obsession!
I tried to sell some dishes last year. I really didn't really really want to, but put them on our sale, anyway. I decided I am meant to have those dishes, because not one piece sold. They are packed away, in a rubbermaid container, in the basement.
What can I say....I LOVE DISHES!!
I was asked by Lori, of All About Home to give a presentation on tablescapes at the shop. I asked what sort of dishes she wanted to use. She said she doesn't have as many in her shop as I have at home!
Great Tablescape Tuesday post, Bo!
I could never open my cabinets up for pictures to share with the world. How neat and organized you are! I love dishes too. When I remodeled the house we live in, I created a dish pantry, thinking it would provide more than enough storage for all of my dishes. Sadly, I can't fit another dish in there now! I'm looking for more storage for dishes at my house, and you've provided me with some ideas. laurie (bargainhunr on RMS)
Ummm Does your DH know you have this addiction??? I think you need to visit Dr. Stran (LMAO) Hugs French;)
HAHAHAHA! Wow! I thought I was bad...not anymore! You've got me beat hands down!
Buffie
It was great fun to see your stashes of dishes and glassware.
As another dishaholic, I have a similar situation of dishes and glassware stored in various cabinets in the kitchen, dining room, hallway, and living room.
Bo - How wonderful! You have more dishes than I and have them stashed into more places. I just love it. I don't have nearly the storage that you have. I gave a beautiful service for 12 with a wheat design to my daughter - just no place to put them. I must confess that my punch bowl is stored in the basement. The dishes in your China closet and the Golden Quilt set are my favorites. I also love ALL of the goblets. What dishes do you use the most? You made my day.
Hugs,
Sweetie
No wonder when I go to the store to buy plates they are OUT! I've always wondered why they just look at me and say "sorry we have no dishes...Bo was just here" Now it all makes sense!
Ah, I feel soooo much better. I was thinking I was a little obsessive, but now I"m good!!! haha...I bet you enjoy them!
Suzanne
Hey Bo! So YOU'RE the culprit who bought all the ruby glass "charm" dishes so I couldn't complete my set. C'mon, it looks like you have a "few" other sets you could use. You won't even miss them.......
Lisa & Alfie
Wow that's a lot of dishes. You ladies show such beautiful tablescapes and I wondered where you put all those dishes!! I'd love to have some new dishes myself but I don't know where I'd store them. Maybe when I'm an empty nester I'll find some room!
HEE! HEE! Love it! I feel SO much better knowing there's someone out there with a love of collecting dishes like I do!! ;-)
Thanks for your post..and the chuckle of the day!!
Blessings,
Myrn
Hi Bo! I knew you could make me feel better. When hubby tells me I'm getting carried away, I can tell him I don't have as many dishes as Bo, and everything will be OK!!! :O) At least you have hiding places...I've got to work on getting me some of those!!! LOL!
I can so relate to this!! Dishes everywhere. See how good you made all of us dishaholics feel today. Sally
Holy Kamoly girlfriend... You know I kept wondering about the storage for all of you who have so many dishes... I love dishes and in my next house I am going to have a HUGE kitchen and pantry... I love to cook and I love to decorate for all the holidays... your hoise is beautiful and your dish collection,,, whew!!! what can I say... MARVELOUS
(((HUGS)))
Donna
And I thought I was bad. Now I can go shopping!
OMG.. what do you eat off of? You barely have any dishes... (LOL) Wowzer... I think you could open up shop and make a killing.. LOL
xoxoxoxo
Donna
Thanks for coming by my blog. I noticed you're a Texan...where are you? I'm in the Houston area.
Hey, Bo,
Sure enjoying your dishes..
Love the way you set them up to show them all off. I can sure tell you aren't shopping in my little town! Of course, there are some great people here but our daily dishes tend to be more "flexable".. hee.hee..kinda like our napkins...
"M"
Bo...my fellow dishaholic...we have the same disease! :-) I love seeing where you store it all. I've been thinking of doing a similar post. I've often thought the same thing...my poor son when I kick the bucket! :-) You have a wonderful collection. Ok, this means I should see a tablesetting from you every Tuesday, right? :-)Susan
WOW! Your dishes are amazing... I am totally inspired to buy more dishes... I'm out of storage space but I think maybe I just need to rearrange some things! I'm sure I don't have nearly enough.
Bo, I am stunned! smile! You are a dish fanatic. I understand because I love dishes to. I gave lots away when we moved here. But I still couldn't compare to your stash! lol
I am having a hard time posting early in the day. Therapy is a large part of my day. Home or at Health Works. sigh. Sorry my comments are so late these days. Think about this...Thrift Store. They love to get dishes. lol
Hugs, Jeanne
Oh goody! I'm not the only one with dishes up the wazoo! My dishes are a mess, not quite as neat as yours, oh who cares, when the cabinet doors are closed they look great!
Girl you are one brave person to show your dish collection... I love the tour.. I on the other hand plan to save that for another day...lol..hugs ~lynne~
Hello Miss Beaudeen, I am arranging a masquerade ball and was told you can help me out with eh say 500 dishes?? hahahahaha love ya, Daffy mwah mwah.
I think between us we could furnish a catering business. You handle the dishes, and I'll take care of the small appliances. Several years ago DH purchased what I labeled, in my mind, an appliance closet. I have at present 2 slow cookers (different sizes), 3 pressure cookers (all different sizes), 2 waffle irons, 1 electric fry pan, a KitchenAid stand mixer, a KitchenAid hand mixer, 3 blenders, two slow roasters, a small convection oven, a Cuisinart food processor, and all manner of other small utensils, some electric, some manual, as might be needed. Let me know when you are ready for this venture to begin. My embarrassment of riches came from 40 years of cooking, and the improvements that have been made in that length of time.
You are the dish girl and I'm the gadget girl.
Oh, I am so loving this post. My heart's desire would be to have a large walk-in pantry just for tableware. I would be in eternal bliss.
And, isn't it a comfort to know we have so many soulmates.
I love your glorious stash!
Morning, Bo!! I just signed in as your blog follower!! That little gadget is so cool. Me, whimpy? lol
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
WOW and I thought I had dishes...girl you got even me beat on this one.. I counted the sets in my kitchen and I have 0nly 5 there..So you are the queen of dishes..I have sets under the bed in my guest toom even..plus china cabinets full.. great post...hugs and smiles Gloria
Wow! Bo! It's great! Something for every occasion. Don't forget to invite me to the party! Deb
Hi Glenda... thanks so much for coming by my blog...nice to meet you even though I can't comment on your blog (yet?)...wow, you do have the appliances and I'll just bet you are a GREAT cook! Please come by anytime...;-) Bo
Bo, I know roses are hard to take care of but I so want some. Climbing roses are my first love as I remember them on the farm. Some new ones are much more resistant to disease but I don't know about grasshoppers, the hateful things. LOL Have a wonderful day my friend.
Hugs...Jeanne
Hi Bo! Oh, thanks for noticing my changes!! You'll do good. I had some trouble at first, but I kept a going!! lol
BE a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Bo, you win! You get the prize for the most dishes...ever. LOL, that's a LOT of dishes. You can't possibly use that many. I love them too, but only have 4 sets (and I don't even use all of them).
ahhh my goodness, I am such an amateur in dish collecting lol! what a wonderful lot you have, ooooh I'd love to come and shop your house for a tablescape ;-)
Sarah
haha! We were just debating: four plates, six plates, or eight at our house? I'll be sure to check out your future tablescapes with so many beautiful options. I love the leaf shaped ones, and I'm curious about the two stacks of lime green ones.
Well we could come and shop at your house now! You certianly have the dishes
