Most of these dishes I collect have Mexican decals. It's the cream colored dishes with the pictures. Most of the traditional colored Fiesta is laying down in the cabinet. But you will see it in the other pictures.

1. Corner cabinet with Fiesta/Homer Laughlin dishes
2. The plate rack (that my husband made for me) hanging on the wall.
3. My pornographic Homer Laughlin bowl (look closely) - I've never found another dish with this particular decal, although I have read about it in antique books.
I like everything in these two pictures!!! I would love to have the Fiesta dishes...do they still make them? I don't really care for the Indian figurines much and I watch to many Animal Planet documentaries to want to collect the ivory things although they are sooooo beautiful. Just amazing the detail.

I'm still with Judy though, other than the dishes, I don't think I want to collect anything. After having a big garage sale this past summer I still want to get rid of more stuff.
