Becky, my favorite Fiesta bowls are the little 4-5 inch ones that my grandmother used to serve ice cream. Sadly, by the time I got her Fiesta, there were only a few left and some had chips. We were in NH once visiting friends and in an antique store I saw four of the bowls in the beautiful yellow color I adore. Dean had my friend go buy them after we left and he gave them to me for Christmas. I love, love, love them - they make anything I eat from them a treat!
ReplyDeleteOh that's such a neat story. Although both my grandmothers used Fiesta, I did not wind up with very much from either of them. But it's so cool how those memories still bring happiness.
ReplyDeleteDo you use yours for anything besides ice cream? :-)
