over the weekend, i attended the brimfield antiques show. it was so much fun to dig through all of that awesome old stuff. i went with the one goal: to find a replacement for a fiesta ware bowl i lost years ago. i collect the chartreuse color, but it is now “out of print”, or whatever they call it when they stop making a color. luckily, one of the first booths i popped into had four of them! the owner of the booth, a very nice lady, was selling them as a set, but was kind enough to break up the set and sell me one. (i could have bought all four, but i am currently trying to de-clutter AND save money, so i sadly declined).

and now, here is my whole collection (complete for the moment):

so far i have

2 dinner plates
2 salad plates
2 cereal bowls
2 regular mugs
2 cappuccino mugs
1 serving bowl
1 napkin holder

i think i would like to eventually have place settings for four. i am torn between finding 2 more place settings in colors that will go nicely with the chartreuse and cobalt, or going nuts and buying whatever i can find in whatever colors i like and mix-and-matching them together. the bright colors always look so nice mixed up that way, but my need for order and neatness keeps trying to compel me to stick to a color scheme. i think i’ll let myself sleep on it until the next time brimfield rolls around (july! not too long from now! and then september.)
