So I stopped in my favorite little thrift store on my way home last night. I always like to look there this time of year for ornaments. Have found some really old ones there in the past. Well this year I bought a bunch of old Christmas cards- some over 50 years old to send out to people this year- call it my vintage year! Anyway as i wandered down the isle I noticed some dishes in a box. They were marked $5.00 and there was 4 dinner plates 6 sandwich plates and 6 saucers. I picked one of the beautiful soft pink plates up and turned it over- sure enough they were FIESTA ware! I couldn't believe my luck. I just adore fiestaware, and have several pieces already. Of course I bought them and the whole way home I was so happy at my find! Will take some pictures when I get home tonight and post them for you to see. Yippee for me!

Beth, how terrific for you! What an exhilirating feeling to stumble on something you already love AND snatch it up for a song....I bet the Christmas cards are beautiful, too. High five! Nance |

Oh, how wonderful. I love fiesta ware too! I have a set of the new ones from JCPenneys and have a few vintage plates, but they are on my "watching for" list too. Great find!!!!
