Fiestaware

[Va-bear]

Yes, they are but I didn't think the prices were as good as the BOGO sets. Actually, I was on a mission tonight and ran by Kohls. They had my four colors and the prices of their serving platters and bowls were good...plus I had a 15% off coupon. So, I added two oval platters, two 1 quart bowls, and a few of those little fruit bowls... My kitchen table is going to look amazing! Now I just need someone to cook something so we can use the dishes!

Same here!!! Thanks for the info and congrats on the great finds!

I too LOVE Fiestaware! We used it at our ranch house growing up and I just had to have it when I bought my own dishes.
About 15 from DMiL's house there is a place that sales slightly damaged FW. I bought an absolute ton. I have the special Halloween ones too that I just love!

Has anyone used the scarlet and one of the greens to make a Christmas table? I have never bought Christmas dishes but that idea just might put me over the top! Oh, here I go again collecting stuff.....

Fiesta is my big collection! We have been using it since we got married almost 11 years ago and most of what we bought then is still being used. Once you start buying it, it is hard to stop! They keep coming out with new colors that I just 'have' to have!
I love getting new tablecloths and setting up my dining room table for each holiday with a mix of different colors.
If you ever get the chance, go to the factory outlet sale. They do one in the summer and one in the fall. You can get some really great prices on seconds.

*these are budget friendly only if you can resist the siren song of more colors/more pieces/look at that adorable decal/wouldn't this be sweet for the holidays? Be strong, sister .

See?! This is how it starts!

Yes, I do a scarlet & juniper Christmas table along with some ivory. But my absolute favorite is sunflower, plum & juniper for Mardi Gras . The holidays will never be the same once you get addicted to dishes. The colors that you've gotten will mix beautifully, OP.

Fiestaware is made about 20 minutes from my house. They have a great outlet at the factory!

The factory outlet (in Newell, WV) is amazing and so cool. I've never attended one of the warehouse sales because the crowds are massive but the regular prices on seconds are ridiculously cheap.

OP: Are other pieces on sale? Like the canister, sugar bowls, etc???

Macy's usually does 30% off of MSRP on Fiesta but check your local stores like Kohls, Boscovs & Dillards, too. For the truly obsessed there's a great message board for Fiesta, old & new:
www.mediumgreen.proboards61.com. You do have to register to use it but the members are so helpful and the collections are just gorgeous. It's kinda like the DIS for dishes .

And speaking of...

Fiesta is my big collection!

Hey...I "know" you from the Fiesta board (if you go by the same name there)!

I love Fiesta ware. I had a friend is HS whos mom had been given a set of original Fiesta Ware and she set it out to the curb because "It didn't match" I just about died when she told me that. I told her it wasn't supposed to match and that I would've taken it. Someone snatched it right up and I do hope that they enjoyed it.

I just checked Macy.com today and the price is back to the original $48 with a BOGO! I am soooo glad I went ahead and ordered yesterday! I feel like I hit the jackpot! Kohl's still has the better prices on accessories, if anyone needs anything!

Thanks for the link...I will check it out. Sadly, I do have an obsessive personality and once I decide to collect something, I go a little overboard... It's all good!

Oh we live close, it is about 10 min from my house too. They have a biannual sale on their seconds where you get them for an additional 1/2 off... Seconds are already 1/2 off, so it is like paying 1/4 for them.

Wow, another DISer in my neck of the woods. Are you in OH, PA, or WV? I'm in WV.

hey all -- I don't have or collect fiesta ware but go to www.kohls.com and do a search on their site for it. They always have it on sale and when you get free shipping and 15%, 20% or 30% off, it makes it really cheap!
