After compiling everything together into one post it doesn't seem as if my collection is that large. Guess that just mean I need to keep adding to it and that I will do. I have a few wish lists made on random sites with different items so I'll have to compile them all in to one post soon. My favorite part of my kitchen is my Fiestaware. My ultimate goal one day is to have hutch or buffet of some sort to display my collection and have it easy to access for using. 

We're having a Fiesta

I have wanted to start a Fiestaware collection since I was young. I was at a estate sale once with my mamaw and they had a big set that they were selling of all different colors. However then I was to young, didn't need them and they were asking way to much for then.
During one of our MANY trip to the NEX I saw that they had started selling it there. WOOHOO, I didn't get any that day because well I have a set of dishes at that I really like and don't plan on getting rid of them and why have more than what I need.
This past weekend while at the NEX (again) we went to look to see if they had the dishes still and sure enough they did. I stood there forever just looking at them and dreaming I had some of my own. When Gabe points out that they are having a sale and anything from the collection is 20% off. Still holding off and not jumping into getting any he pipes up and says, "pick out what you want, its ok". After standing there for what seemed like forever I gave in & got 2 place settings & a water pitcher.
When I got home I rearranged all the dishes and glasses in the cabinet to make room for our new set. I was so excited I had OFFICIALLY started my Fiesta Collection. I was on Amazon.com and did a search for Fiestaware and they had tons of it online. I made myself a "Wish List" on Gabe's account and plan on going off that to add to my collection. One day, I will have a collection like I saw at the estate sale along with all the cookware to go with it.


I have the Chocolate & Ivory place setting and the Red Pitcher,
Here is my "Wish List" http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/14OVXTWG2VJ56
(everything else on the list other than the dishes is Jared's :)
