Here is an amazing pic of Lemongrass surrounded by all of the other current Fiesta colors (not including Marigold which is the 75th Anniversary Color). It definitely gives you an idea of what it will look like. Too bad they didn't include Chartreuse, since Lemongrass is supposed to be a yellow version of Chartreuse. It would have really shown just how different/similar the colors are.
Also, the release date for the new color has been updated. I originally posted that it would be released in November, 2009. That information was taken directly from the HLC (makers of Fiesta) website. That has now changed to June, 2009! So we are only a few months away from the new & improved (hopefully) Chartreuse Lemongrass!
There seems to be some confusion about the big announcement yesterday. This was originally scheduled to be announced at 12am yesterday, but it got lost in the internet webs.
Today Homer Laughlin announced the newest Fiesta color, Lemongrass. It is not expected to be available until November, 2009. The color is said to be a more yellow shade of chartreuse. Which would be very nice since Chartreuse is my favorite Fiesta color!
Here is a quick post to bring my blog up to speed. First off, let me say that I am sorry about not posting very much lately. Between my new job and this awful crappy weather, I have just been in a funky mood. The job is going okay. There has been many managerial changes at work lately, and it has become a super stressful experience. One of the things I enjoyed when I first started was the lack of drama that was always present at my last job. But this place is even worse! Luckily, I just get to stay back in my room for the most part and avoid a lot of it.
Fiesta wise, there is nothing much to report. I did get a chance to take a look at the new Square Fiesta dishes. The local store had 3 sizes of plates and the bowls in stock. The color choices were Chocolate, Scarlet, Sunflower, Peacock and Ivory (I believe). I really like the plates. The large plates will make awesome chargers for the round plates. As for the bowls, all I can say is that they looked better in the pictures. Sadly, the bowls do NOT stack. What good are bowls that don't stack??? I was very disappointed with them. And I am now not looking forward to seeing the mugs. Oh well, win a few, lose a few.
The weather has been so-so around here lately. We had a few days over 70°. Most of the days are at least over 50° which is very nice. I have been riding my bike a lot again. I can't wait for nice warm weather all the time.
