Over the years, I have accumulated alot of Fiestaware.
With a family of 7 ...and the comings and goings of friends
and relatives...I used it all the time.
Sometimes I would decide to set the table using only 3 colors...
other times...I would use a rainbow of colors.
I had the option of using different colors for different occasions.
Well I have decided it is time to downsize my collection.
I will keep the colors that work best for my color scheme and sell the others.
The pieces have been carefully washed and are ready to list.
(there's even more not shown in photo)
I will most likely use "Facebook Marketplace" or my local
neighborhood "Beg, Barter, Sell" to sell them.
I'm not feeling the whole packing + shipping on ebay or etsy.
(I have done lots of that!)
So heavy and breakable - a challenge to pack and hope it arrives
to its new home safely! We'll see??
(Any suggestion would be appreciated.)
Wish me luck...
regardless of what avenue I use to sell...
it will be a chore.
Staying Cozy,
(and hope you are too.)

Hubby bought me a ton of Fiestaware one Christmas...all mismatched colors and I really loved it for a long time. I still mix my dishes up, but those colors were grating on my nerves! I gave everything to my young niece who was moving in to her first apartment. That was a win for me. I have so many dishes...I just know that I would feel better if I donated some so that another person or family could enjoy them. And if we all dug around, there are many great ways to sell---my daughter sells her little girl's outgrown clothes on a Facebook page.

Oh good luck on your sale. But the extra money will be good after all the work of shipping.

Fingers crossed on the selling of your pretties. I love all the blue sets.
ReplyDeleteHi there Carrie, I am stopping by to say HI and thank you for visiting my blog:) Your collection is gorgeous. Good luck with the selling, someone will be happy to have them. Have a blessed day, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful collection! I can remember a time when I craved those dishes. Through the years, I've gone white with a little blue thrown in. Putting you on my blog list so I don't miss a post. Love your cozy cottage.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I hope you're able to sell your Fiestaware quickly!
ReplyDeleteDown-sizing is difficult sometimes. But, down-size we must. Thanks for your stop by on my blog and the nice comment you left. I DID get that oven clean! And, I did not dread it as much as I thought I would. So having a boss telling me what to do (the slips of paper) is a good thing. I hope you will drop by often.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in selling, Carrie! I've been decluttering, too. It feels good!
ReplyDeleteI hope the extra pieces are easier to sell than you think. I've hesitated putting dishes for sale on eBay for the same reason. Thanks for stopping by Buttercupland!
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with your sale.

Good luck I just know they will all find a "new" home!
ReplyDeleteGood luck I hope you sale all of it. Have a blessed evening. Madeline
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice collection of fiestaware. The blue is striking, and the aqua is really pretty. I hope you get what you want for them, and it's great that you're trying to sell them first.
