That "Jungle Room" of Elvis Presley really creeps me out.  I can't imagine relaxing in that room.

@tends2dogs:  Well I did a tad better than I thought.  10, Interior design associate. If only Sugarbakers was still in business. I'm not far from Atlanta and I'd love to train with "Suzanne".  Smiley LOL

@beach-mom  I missed the Ivory for the Fiesta, too. I go out "picking" or antiquing and don't remember seeing much Ivory.  What color do you have?  There used to be a rumor or such that the orange was toxic.  Most likely lead in the paint?  Could just be an urban legend. Smiley Happy  I am not sure if I would microwave in the older pieces, though. LOL


Hi @tends2dogs - I have various pieces of turquoise, light green, yellow, and red-orange. I told my family a long time ago NOT to put it in the microwave. At that time I wasn't concerned about the lead and such; I was just afraid it was so fragile it would shatter!  I used to hand wash it, although now I put it in the dishwasher on the top shelf. We don't use it much - most of the time for lunch on Saturday or a light dinner. Sometimes I'll use it to serve if my friends come over. Smiley Happy

@beach-mom  It can make a striking table.  My sister has the blue, plates and several serving pieces.  When it is all set out, very nice!  I would think mixing up a table setting in the various colors would be a real eye catcher, too. Smiley Happy
