Oh, PRECIOUS! We are the same person in so many ways!! I just bought dishes from ebay yesterday--milk glass, surprise surprise! And I'm not exactly sure WHERE on earth I expect to put them, because, um, I'm running out of room due to the already ridiculous number of dishes I already own. I have an illness. It's true.

So, a cure for alzheimers? This may be a bit forward, but do you know someone suffering from it? I wish for a cure for schizophrenia, as my mother suffers from it. Oh, health problems...they make me so sad.

I'm SO glad you played along with my tag! YAY! I love reading more about you!

with love from Pittsburgh...

Yes, I'm out of room for dishes too! It really is an illness! But (in going with GREEN topics) all the dishes I buy are used so at least it's not hurting anyone or the environment!

My grandfather has alzheimers and at an old job in pittsburgh I worked for an architecture firm that designed Alzheiemers care centers (a lot of thought goes into them, it's like a science). I've just always been interested in it -it's such a horrible disease that will just become more important as we all live longer!

this was delightful! Sour Patch kids as a dish? Do you separate the colors?

ArchitectDesign™ said...

I have a strange addiction to them, DF! I could eat them all day long -i dare not buy one of the 'family sized' bags.......yikes! I don't seperate the colors -although I do have a fondness for the reds and the yellows (cherry and lemon). I guess the green is my least fav (lime)

Mary Poppins... love that movie, too. I saw it when I was little, just after we'd come back from England, and I had a hard time distinguishing between the scenes in the movie, and what we'd seen and done when we were there, since they overlapped.

ArchitectDesign™ said...

haha -thanks - T.a. (THAT anonymous)

ArchitectDesign™ said...

I guess then that Mary Poppins is fairly accurate then?? Thats pretty cool!

Hey - this Anonymous is going to have to keep an eye on that other anonymous! This Leo is protective and little jealous! >:(

I can't stop buying porcelain cake stands from anywhere, inlcuding ebay.
I think people have forgotten the art of a good high tea party with cakes, finger sandwiches, scones and clotted cream. My husband has inherited two lovely sets from his late grandmother, one Limoge and one Spode, and I love taking them out.
Funnily enough, no one from his family wanted "the boring ol china" so i was lucky to get it!
