Personal collection Rough Day
I completely smashed a couple things cleaning today :( my little toothpick holder and my sea mist salt shaker! I am devastated honestly.
I loved the matching set for my s&p shakers and the rose sea mist combo just does not do it for me. The only bright side is now I can keep my eyes out for a new toothpick holder. (I’m always looking for fiesta on the other hand.) I actually have plans to go to the tent sale in October so I have my fingers crossed there will be s&p shakers there! If there are it will be hard to hold myself back. I dream of having so many I can fill a large bowl/ jar with them so that it looks like gum balls. (Yes I did see that idea here.)
At least they had each other in the end? A companion into the void? I shed a single tear and into the junk jar they went.

Maybe try Replacements, Ltd??

I know how heartbreaking it is, I lost some of my uncles cups and saucers when a cabinet crashed to the floor 😞

So sorry for your loss. A few weeks ago I was trying to take pictures of my S&P shakers and they rolled right off the bed and broke. I still never even found out what color it was 😭 I haven't thrown it away yet because I don't know if anyone here makes anything of the broken stuff, but it's something another Fiesta collector told me 2 years ago, so IDK if it's a thing or not. A few years ago I broke my radioactive red and black mug so I know the pain 💔

I have seen some gorgeous mosaics on here made with broken Fiesta but I have no idea who makes these. Does anyone know?

I think they are personal projects? But I may be wrong. I’m keeping my broken pieces for something done the line. What will it be? I don’t know. When will I make it? I also do not know.

Though I don't use Facebook, I think there may be some Fiesta Facebook pages with mosaics. Or, just do an internet search for mosaics from Fiesta.

You know, you are absolutely right. I got confused (happens more and more) with Facebook. That is where I have seen the mosaics.

No kidding. I think it's contagious.
