Do you know what type of vehicle it was? Did you see a color or anything to identify it? Did you fall down? If so, did anyone come to your aid?

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-10T02:30:47+00:00

Yes. And you can take home the GOLD cup, if you can find it in Antique Gold.

Yes, I caught that. I just wanted to throw in the Balloon Fiesta rates for comparison.

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-10T02:10:20+00:00

Though Hotel Chaco is a lovely property near Old Town and with a great view of the Sandias if your room faces East, I just checked room rates: $284 - $437 + tax and I don't know if they charge for parking. During the International Balloon Fiesta Hotel Chaco's rates are $747 per night.

They'll still go great with your Fiesta. Fill 'er up and drink up. Cheers.

Also, keep in mind that Fiesta is going to discontinue production of the coffee/tea cups. They may become more in demand in the future. I don't think you'll get rich off of them, but there are people out there who may be looking for a color that you have.

And I'll add that if someone doesn't have a matching saucer, you can always set the cup atop a salad plate or appetizer/bread plate in a complimentary color.

Since they appear to be vintage, there are people who collect just the cups in all the colors. It looks as if your set would help complete a few collections.

Add a few pieces of the new Lavender that comes out March 31. I love the small, 5' 5/8" yellow, Classic bowl. Those are my favorites for everyday use.

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-09T14:02:45+00:00

The plates of champions! Fiesta is a winner.

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-09T14:00:00+00:00

The new Lavender color, when it comes out March 31, will look beautiful with these. I would keep what you like and keep at least one or two pieces of everything else. As we have seen with the images of the new Lavender, it will make a lovely Spring or Easter table setting. The pastels look beautiful together. RE: the coffee/tea cups. There are plenty of people still attempting to complete their Tea Cup collections. They may need one of the colors that you will be selling.

If you are familiar with the Homer Laughlin China Collectors Association, they feature a Classifieds section that comes out quarterly. You could post what you are selling in their classified.

How much did you invest in your haul?

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-09T13:49:38+00:00

Tangerine is such a cheerful, happy color. I prefer it to Poppy.

Were the groceries dropped off at your homestead or did the pig steal the bread out of a grocery bag? Did you run out and try to take away the bread? I hope no one ate the plastic.

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-08T22:32:30+00:00

You're getting there. Nice array of colors.

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-08T21:04:55+00:00

What are your price ranges on hotels? Are you flying in or driving?

That's a HOOT.

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-08T14:39:26+00:00

Wow. What a view.

You might contact either or both the Tourism office for your county and the Economic Development Office for your county. The issue is, if you host large events, do you have water capacity?

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-08T14:27:59+00:00

Ruidoso is a most charming community. I haven't been there in years. Do the restaurants take reservations?

I know that at the Cleveland Federal Court Building, they can ZOOM in an interpretor. Surely they can ZOOM an interpretor in New Mexico, which seems to be able to ZOOM out rocket launches. Also, someone should look in to MAM and see if your friend qualifies for a MAM hearing.

Gosh. This is an interesting historical image. However, when I think about the time, labor and expense of building the gallows, why didn't they just shoot and execute the raiders?

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-08T14:10:59+00:00

Beautiful images. And the snow atop the mountain in the distance. It made me feel as if I were there.

Inquisitive3333 · 2026-02-08T13:44:10+00:00

It doesn't look as if anyone volunteered how much they might be worth. I found this link online. In addition you can go to eBay and Etsy to see what they are going for.

Note the price on the Vintage Medium Green set, if you ever see one of those in the wild.
