I use Fiesta dishes. I've always loved them, so I started buying them once I had enough disposable income that I could spend more than the bare minimum on dishes.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have Fiesta in cobalt, scarlet, sunflower, and shamrock. I have 12 place settings and a lot of matching serving dishes. I want to add turquoise, but am thinking 16 place settings might be a bit of overkill. But I love turquoise.
I am sure these colors surprise noone.

I have a bunch of Fiesta dishes, but in very uneven numbers. A bunch of oblong and round plates, three large bowls, three small bowls, and a couple of salad plates. So I really want to flesh it out--get more bowls, and salad plates, and serving bowls. It's all so pretty.

I have Fiesta in sunflower, orange, purple, and cobalt with matching mugs and a lot of other matching stuff. Also a set of white dishes that look like classic diner ware, because sometimes that is just what food wants to be served on. And it all looks nice on display [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Cobalt, shamrock, and black, with serving pieces in scarlet. My peopls!

I worship my white bistroware from the Crate & Barrel outlet. Mugs for $1.50 12 years ago. It all still looks as good today as it did new and weighs a ton. I lurve it. NO mismatching anything in my cupboards. I love other people's collections of eclectic mixes but I twitch over asymmetry in my own life.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would happily stock my shelves with these or these, but either set only comes in 3 colours I'd like (and white), not 4. So I'd probably do 2 and 2, which thrills me less than one of each.
This is a nice set, but it only comes in the one colour. Still, it's a colour I could live with.
These are also nice for a full set, but I don't know if square format cereal/soup bowls would drive me batshit or not. These are a nice alternative, without the square issue.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't know if square format cereal/soup bowls would drive me batshit or not.
They annoy me. Square plates too. It's just wrong. I bought one square soup bowl and I use it for collecting small things on the kitchen counter.
