Hi, folks!! A few days ago I asked for some suggestions on what to add to my current collection, and y’all had tons of wonderful ideas!

At first, I just decided on Cinnabar, as I got a good offer for a 5 pc set that would get me all of my go-to pieces. I figured I would add some Foundry Halloween items (I’m particularly fond of the Victorian Gothic design) and maybe something Linen, who knows.

Then… I went to an antique shop I hadn’t visited in a while, and… they had a Lilac plate. It was a decent price for the color (and considering it has a little bubble/pock mark on the top, but oh well), and so I got it. And then… I caved and I got a few Old Yellow plates and an Old Ivory plate, too.

The lilac/ivory/yellow is very Rapunzel, which I love, and I’ve just expanded my combos immensely! Here’s a little update of my collection (minus a plum 5.5” bowl and some duplicates). Now I’ve got Plum, Tangerine, Cinnabar, Chartreuse (old and p86), Yellow (Old), Ivory (Old), and Lilac.

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions, and hopefully by October I’ll have a few more pieces to really add to the Spooky Factor (:

I haven’t been involved at all with the Catholic Church in years, but my family was a part of the Diocese of Lincoln and I went to Catholic schools all through high school. Anyone else find this email randomly this morning? I’ve heard from three other people (all in their 20s, like myself) who grew up in the church that they got the same one, and now I’m curious to see if there’s any sort of pattern here.

Edit For Clarity: The intention of this post was not to complain about the email existing, but instead to put out feelers to see who else may have received this email without choosing to be added to an email list (I was spurred to ask due to my learning of three separate people who no longer practice all receiving this email this morning, however I don’t really have contact with anyone who still practices, so my “sample batch” is skewed). I’m not trying to theorize any kind of conspiracy, I just like seeking out patterns that interest me.

Hello all! I double checked the rules to make sure this type of post is allowed, as I don’t believe this counts as self-promotion as I have no shop or anything of the like, but I’ll gladly remove/alter my post if necessary!

Long story short, in my search for chartreuse as a Fiesta newbie, I trusted some labels at an antique shop and ended up acquiring multiple lemongrass pieces when I’d rather stick to chartreuse (either original or p86, I have both). I’d love for these to go to someone whose collection includes lemongrass, and if I’d be so lucky as to find someone with similar/the same pieces in chartreuse… well I know that’s a big ask, but I figured I might as well try!

I have a salad plate, a teacup (no saucer), and a classic rim soup/salad bowl all in lemongrass, the latter two of which have been used incredibly sparingly (I’m talking once or twice since I purchased them). I’m in Nebraska, for reference of possible shipping times/proximity! Thanks so much for anyone who may have interest, help, or suggestions. I can give specific pictures of the pieces if requested, once they’re out of the dishwasher!
