| The Pyramid Candlestick Holders |
Last week my special edition Flamingo Fiestaware Pyramid Candlestick Holders arrived to join the house that flamingos and Fiestaware built. I would like to say I was not lured by the early morning email annoucing the pre-sale on limited edition new color candlestick holders, but I cannot (I don't even really like candlestick holders). I gave the good people at Homer Laughlin my credit card number and waited with un-contained enthusiasm. Fast forward to last weekend and they arrived. I ripped open the box in the parking lot of UPS wanting to see the new color that badly. I think I squealed a little when I dug the new items out of a mile of bubble wrap.

I like the new color, it is bright and fun. The pink will look great with my lemon grass, peacock, and tangerine colors. I do have the old discontinued rose in several pieces, I was worried the flamingo would be just a rehash of that shade of pink. Immediately, on arrival at home I went in and grabbed a rose saucer and decided that yes this color is a different shade. If anything, I would say the flamingo is the color that should have been produced from the beginning.

Speaking of beginnings, a part of me wishes I could chuck all my Fiestaware and start over again with a complete set of the flamingo. However, that is not going to happen, instead I think some new place settings are in order. I have been assured that this weekend, shipments of the new color will be available at my favorite Fiestaware dealers. I am thinking someone is going to be abusing her Visa card in the near future. I can resist anything, but brightly colored dinnerware it would seem.
