Tell Me, Am I Indecisive Or Out of Control?

I love all kinds of dishes. I'd rather shop for dishes or items to use in my kitchen than anything else. A couple of years ago I started collecting Fiesta dishes. I had admired them for years, but I didn't know what color I wanted, so I kept holding off on buying the first piece. Well, I finally decided that since all the colors were beautiful I would mix them up a little.

But then how do you stop at a couple of colors?

The Tangerine and Chocolate make great Thanksgiving colors.

But I didn't want my table to look like fall all year round, so I added some Scarlet, Heather, and Lemongrass.

And then there's Cinnabar to add even more color.

The Lemongrass gravy boat seemed like an essential serving piece.

I use the Scarlet cake plate and server every week at my house.

And when I make a casserole, it's just more fun to make it in a Sunflower colored dish.


I do have one antique piece of Fiesta. I received this platter after my grandmother Clark passed away. I want to be sure I don't get this piece broken, so I keep it on display on top of my cabinet.

This platter belonged to her, and it is the only piece I have in this Rose color, which now is retired. Hers was the original Rose, there was another Rose released much later that is a pinker shade.

I pulled all my Fiesta out of the cabinet today and moved it. I put it in a more prominent place in the kitchen so that I can enjoy it more. All the colors make me happy when I use them.  Would other colors make me even happier? There are lots of colors I don't have yet. Is it time to stop buying dishes? Am I in need of an intervention? I hope not, because when I was rearranging everything today I realized that I don't yet have a sugar bowl and creamer set. Now what color do I need?

For the record, I receive no compensation from the makers of Fiesta, but I do like their dishes.
