What colors of fiestaware are you looking for NA?

I also need an HDTV - it's our joint xmas to ourselves this year, assuming we find a good deal. I don't know about the crowds, though - I hate that part.

No self respecting computer professional would use that term.

I'm thinking turquoise, persimmon and sunflower. I've given up on finding more of the Metlox plates I have. They are IMPOSSIBLE to find even on ebay. So I'm going to move to Fiesta (Bauer is expensive!).

Those are great colors!

The green metlox plates? Those are pretty. Speaking of which, you know times are bad, the antique mall I told you about in San Mateo, gone with the wind.

If you want to spend money on this stuff, replacement or Naomi's in SF (the most obnoxious owner, too) I refuse to shop at Naomi's for that reason, no matter how much of the vernonware I love he may have.

Shamrock may be a good addition as well.

It's funny that the Metlox isn't available. It is from the 70's and not an antique, but the colors are very retro. I have a great green, a turquoise, a pale yellow and a pink. Even Replacements doesn't have much. I have had a watch on ebay for a year now an the only plates that come up are white. I'm just tired of having 5 plates. Salad plates are not a problem, dinner plates - nothing.

I would like to point out that I, both the biggest thread pooper in the world and one of the great anti-shopping advocates, resisted the urge here.

Only to see that everybody rushed in to fill the breach. I'm so proud of you all.

Have you all seen the new chocolate fiestaware color? Yummy!
