Everything Else

I just discovered Fiesta Ware, dinnerware. I really like the bright colors and the heft and feel of this. I think my grandparents had an old set of this that they used to feed all the grandkids on but I was just a tyke so I cannot swear to it.

I'll probably start building a set of Fiesta Ware by asking for it next Christmas, I have too many financial commitments right now so I better make do with my present everyday china. I actually like my current everyday china, it's sort of French cafe looking white china with a cobalt blue rim. But everything in my new house is very neutral in color so I think I need to add some color to the house. Eventually.

I also like the shiny glaze on Fiesta Ware, which should make it wash up easily. One of my dislikes about stoneware dishes is that it can be a pain to wash up. It's made in the USA too - when was the last time you saw something actually made here? Points for that in my book.
