DiSH will be hosting its First Old Fashioned Waffle Brunch! Please join us for a morning of waffles just like Mom used to make.  Each waffle will be brushed with creamy butter, drizzled with pure maple syrup, garnished with fresh strawberries, peaches, raspberries, and blueberries and topped with a mound of Whipped Cream.  And for a side treat, slices of lightly buttered toast freshly popped out of vintage toasters will be available, along with a selection of jams and jellies.  We’ll send you a date later.

In response to customer interest in the tablecloth under the Fiesta and Bauer on the Wakefield table in DiSH’s front window, more were ordered from Xochi. Made in India of 100% cotton, they complement a variety of colorware. Sizes include 60×60 ($45), 60×80 ($55), and a special 70″ round with yellow and apple green design ($50).  You’ll receive a 10% discount if you purchase one of these special tablecloths before May 1.

Lee has been invited to make a presentation at the May 6, 2008 Gypsy Traders meeting which will be held at DiSH.  He will share with the group the design history of toasters, waffle irons and coffee pots produced in the U.S. from 1920-60.

This meeting is not open to the public.  However, if you’d be interested in a “repeat” for DiSH customers, let us know. E-mail us at info@dishtheshop.com

Inside Publications Of Sacramento recently did an interview with us regarding the shop…

Cecilia Gray and Lee Anderson, both retired Sac State professors, recently opened Dish: The Shop on Riverside in the Land Park area.

“One of our goals is to create an environment where people can see, touch, learn about and purchase objects from what we feel is the Golden Age of American Design—1930s through the 1950s,” explains Anderson. “During the 1960s, the American industrial economy began to shift from the U.S. to other countries. With that shift came a drastic change in the American design aesthetic.”
