It's not even on their website, and some stores only have it in the back, not on display. But its the prettiest off-white, off-shape set I've ever seen! Perfect large, just-shallow-enough salad/pasta bowls too. But they're not cheap, so they'll get some here and there and made it the only thing on their Xmas list. :)Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719492306614576123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-46420335762581278572010-01-12T20:49:45.830-08:002010-01-12T20:49:45.830-08:00that is so brilliant with the dryer and bleach sol...that is so brilliant with the dryer and bleach solution proportions! thanks so much for sharing that! i'm a huge thrift store shopper... :DErin Woolseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281001847259314925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-17475771799893409072010-01-12T17:41:28.501-08:002010-01-12T17:41:28.501-08:00these are gorgeous, great find!these are gorgeous, great find!melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052953399892773068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-83515157640450620482010-01-12T17:38:23.857-08:002010-01-12T17:38:23.857-08:00I have started to get Fiesta Dinnerware when I got...I have started to get Fiesta Dinnerware when I got to Goodwill.
