Inspiration?

Have you ever:

A. Watched on of those home decorating shows where the designer gets her/his inspiration from an object, like say an artichoke?  I always thought this was kind of silly, despite the often pleasing results.  

B.  Known someone who decorated an entire room around a collection?  I,  on principle, am not a collector.  I think getting too much of something distracts from its specialness. . . plus you have to dust it. (of course, if you ask my husband he'll tell you I collect magazines, but that is entirely different.)

C.  Been the kind of person, or known a person, who collects dishes--having a set for every occasion?  I can't see storing all those dishes and always claim white is best. . . it goes with everything.

In one fell swoop I have done all three. . . for these:

Several months ago I saw some of these dishes on ebay.  They are depression era glass dishes and they are the prettiest watery blue.  I fell in love them.  I had to have them.  I started collecting them.  And hey, they go very nicely with all my white dishes. 

They are now right up there on my list of favorite things. 

I am even having my new kitchen designed with a glass doored hutch to display them. 

And now, I am decorating my family room and kitchen around them. . . I carried one into a rug store to find a rug that would coordinate.  

Am I crazy?  

And if you know where I can find more, please let me know.
