Yes my little dinner platters are seconds. I got them there. My Dad's boat is on the water not far from there and we stop when we go up for a ride.

Macy's has their 4 piece place settings buy one get one free right now, so I went down yesterday and got the shamrock ones I wanted.

Maybe its a good thing I didn't know Macy had a sale!

I added two pics to a Fiestaware album.
My tangerine pitcher and some ramekins

I also use the sugar caddies to hold office supplies on my desk at home.
I'm addicted to Fiestaware.
I even have a charm for a bracelet that looks like the pitcher!

I am just getting started. I might need you for guidance. I am thinking of getting some larger bowls. The ones that come with the place setting aren't very large. I think maybe the gusto bowl is what I need.

The gusto bowls are great! Those are the ones in my pictures the shamrock one with the gumbo and the sunflower with the chicken and dumplings.

I like those. Use them for chili and soups too.
The chili bowls are nice too, a little smaller than the gusto. I think they are the same height but the chili bowl just smaller around.

The gusto sounds like what I want then. I need room to crush my crackers into my chili.

I have no idea what Festivawear is. I have dishes from 34 years ago, Centuria, plain white. And earthenware called Blueberry (surprise!). That's it. I don't collect anything. :18:

It's solid colors very bright and cheery.

I'll have to research it on-line. We are pretty much into plain white plates...boring, but that's what we agreed on years ago. My food is colorful, so that counts, right?

I have had white. I bought some of the Emeril dishes before he came out with his new ones. The older version weren't as durable as his new line. I got mine all on clearance. I think I know why now.

I was expecting them to be as good as his cookware, but they weren't.

It didn't know Emeril had dished too.

The only white Fiestaware I have is a Marshall University tumbler. It's the standard white with the Marshall University logo printed on it. I use it for a pen holder at work.
The commerical food service dishes from Homer Laughlin that I have are white but don't look like Fiestaware.

I did spot a scarlet plate once at a restaurant in Asheville, NC. My friend forced me to eat at TGI Fridays and when our food came, it was on red plates that looked very familar. I lifted mine up and lo and behold the Fiestaware logo was on the bottom! I think I embarassed my friend

I tell, you, I'm obsessed about this stuff!!
