I've been wanting Fiestaware for YEARS and finally today just got ALL THIS in one shot.

gotta love craigslist!

edited to add I paid $250.

So excited. Knew my budget friends would be happy for me!

I will warn you its an addiction. I had to remodel my kitchen and add a plate rack to show off mine LOL

You mean if I start wishing for it now in 17 years I might get it, lol! Congrats!

Good luck with that. I have my set of lilac and I don't allow anyone to even breathe on them!

I hear you - that's how I am about my more "rare" colors. I was just getting into fiesta when the lilac was available and I kick myself repeatedly for not getting a set.

Ooooo, yeah. I'm really jealous of that. I have always loved it, but don't collect it. I would love to just get a big set like that and HAVE it. I think you got a GREAT deal.

Well, thanks to this thread, I just bought these on eBay:

Are they not the cutest salt and pepper shakers ever?! Most of my stuff is cobalt blue, but I have a few periwinkle accent pieces, too, so these will fit right in. I haven't mixed colors beyond that ... yet

Congrats on your great buy, OP!

I have a place setting for 12... brown, navy, lime green, cream, yellow, and cinnabar ( deep red). I have gotten most of mine at Macys. They run the place settings buy one get one and the accesoires at 40% off a couple of times a year. I got the canistars for Christmas... I have to watch sales becasue I can get them new cheaper sometimes.

Macy's prices run $50.00 for each place setting. B1G1 brings it down to 25.00. If you check out the Homer Laughlin website, they run B4G1 specials and their place setting price is $26.99. That brings it down to about $21.50 per place setting. Plus free shipping for orders over $125.00. Not too shabby if you want to purchase several place settings at once, like I did earlier this month! LOL! I've ordered from them a few times and those boxes are packed TIGHT.

OP- congrats on your find! I looked at that listing awhile back. IMO you got a really good deal! There is going to be a big tent sale in late June at the factory in WV. I've heard a lot of good things about it and I'm going to check it out. Most of it is factory seconds (minor flaws), but at great prices.
