Many MANY years ago Dave
and I found ourselves sitting in a stuffy old boardroom with some prospective investors...who didn't
get us. We were discussing the concept of selling dishes a la carte instead of
matching dishes in boxed sets. To show you how little they got us, I'll
recall the conversation.
Julie: Well you see our customers are very creative, they don't need to
have sets.
Investor Guy: What? Did you say they don't need to have SEX?
Julie: No! I said our customers do not need to be told that their dishes have to be boring sets.
Investor Guy: What? Your customers are having boring sex?
Julie: Is lunch included in this meeting?
But it's true, our customers ARE creative and have always thought way outside
the boxed set of dishes. So twenty five years ago when we were hauling endless
bushels of random plates, bowls, saucers, and mugs out of old
defunct china factories, you
were there to mix, match, layer and create dinnerware sets that were unlike any
other...and you're still doing it!

To celebrate our roots we've pulled out our 20 foot farm table and labeled it
the Fishs Eddy Play Station!
The table top is the canvas, the rest of the store is the pallet. Designers and bloggers have been stopping by all week to "play." We
invite you too!
