Are there going to be additional pieces in the polka dot pattern?

That pattern has pretty much retired. There is some on ebay, and sometimes on Temp-tations.com, Tara offers some old pieces they find in the warehouses.

 

Many people have asked for this pattern to come back. The only reason I think it doesn't is perhaps it is now more costly to manufacture.

 

The polka dots were always better made with fewer problems than other patterns, and that makes me think they were more costly to manufacture.

 

Temp-tations prices are increasing a great deal, so the price point of bringing back polka dot may be what is preventing it's return.

Tara often says that she listens to what her customers want/ask for in making decisions on what to create but she has never ever listened to them on the polka dot remake.  It seems to me she and QVC are missing out on a lot of potential profit.

We are pretty much tired of Old World and Floral Lace, so there won't be any more TT purchases at our house unless the polka dots return. There might be a few pieces I could choose from them. Otherwise, no sale.

That explains a lot. I have only ever bought 2 sets of Temp-tations. First, the square polka dot baker with trivet and carrying case in red. The second, a 16 piece dinnerware set in floral lace, blue. The first has lasted me for over 6 years with NO problem. I LOVE that little baker. The second, showed problems the moment I opened the box. Ever since then I have never bought another piece of temp-tations and I never will.

Please add my request for the return of poka-a-dot Temptations.  They are such a cheerful pattern and are more youthful/trendy than many of the other designs.
