While out Christmas shopping today, we stopped in Goodwill to seek out hidden treasure. While Q and and the boys looked at old school video game systems, antiquated cell phones, and cookbooks, I headed over to housewares in a vain attempt to find Fiesta.
I have found dishes at Goodwill before, but NEVER Fiesta. But today, I was pleasantly surprised. Looked what jumped in the trunk and followed us home:
The housewares section was not very well organized so it took me several passes before I found all the Fiesta. In all, I came away with three cereal bowls and six dinner plates. I left one cobalt dinner plate behind because it had a big honking chip under the rim.
Other than some utensil scratches--which can be cleaned--everything is in good shape.
Oh, and today was half price day. I got all nine pieces (four of which are in retired colors) for less than $4.

How cool! I never find anything at my goodwill. Of course, it is on the other side of town, so I only visit there about once every two years...makes it hard to find good deals there.
Nice find!
Good deal Val! My Goodwill has absolutely NOTHING!
Woo hoo!
It was a nice find. I'm happy.
Q did inform the boys that they WILL be getting some of my dishes when they leave for college in a few years (this latest purchase now has us at around 50 plates). Kyle countered that he's planning on using plastic dishes.
I calmly ordered him to go into the restaurant bathroom and wash his mouth out with soap.
Kelly, welcome to my blog. I added you to the blogroll.
Val, what a deal. Congratulations! I've never found any Fiesta at our Goodwill either. I'm glad you did.
