The real meaning of "handpainted" !
I recently learned that it is ok for a retailer/company to use the word "hand painted ", even if it means that , at the factory, a person on the assembly line simply uses their hand(s) to move a spray-paint nozzle onto a ceramic/china piece, as in "These temp-tations are all hand-painted". Did anyone really think that each Temp-tations piece was meticulously painted by hand with a brush ??
More Pot Holders and Napkin Holders
Hope you will be offering the temptations grabber pot holders this year. I would also like to see an OW napkin holder that holds more than a few napkins.
Any New Year's Resolutions about your Temp-tations purchasing?
For those who do buy and enjoy Temp-tations, do you have any goals or resolutions for the New Year concerning your TT and/or purchases.
I'm up for a little more organizing, and maybe getting rid of some. I have some pieces that have crazed and they are going out the door, as well as some OW accessory pieces that just don't get used.
I'm not going to buy any more Old World, as I've really come to like Floral Lace and Vintage Grace better. ONly exception to this might be the old world Harvest as I use that pattern now all fall.
I will be only buying things that mix well with my most favorite patterns, hopefully solids, and I resolve to NOT start any new patterns.
I have already gone to waiting for clearance on most things, as I have way too much, and that gives me time to decide if I really like/need it. It used to be if you waited till markdowns, you would loose out, but not so for most things now. Lots of things are still available in most colors by they time they mark down, and many things now are just repeats of previous items.
I never buy a TSV either. Haven't for several years. They are usually riddled with defects because they make them too fast. Best pieces are the ones that they show very little on air, seems they make less and make them better.
2015 New or Updated Items
"New" colors
I'm new to temptations. I haven't bought any yet but am planning on the 24 piece set. I was going to get Spice but now I see the "new" colors online, one of which is hot pink. Those of you that are more familiar with Temptations do you know if this is a color they only have around spring? Is it truly a new color? My concern with purchasing this color is if the other pieces they have such as the bundt pan, serving pieces will ever be available in hot pink. I guess if they don't make hot pink in other pieces I could always mix in red or light blue (although that would look like a baby shower) :)
So how does everyone like the new TT enameled steel pans?
You just don't know what you may see on QVC.

Measuring Cups
Can we buy the Floral Lace (blue) measuring cups separately? I have only seen them with a big set but they didn't have the color I wanted (although there were a lot of the pieces in the set that I already have).

ARGGH Ugly Temptations Brown Trim
Watching the bread basket segment thinking OH GOOD finally they don't have the ugly brown trim on the dish. They show all the "Old World," which isn't my cup of tea but let's go to the Floral Lace and ZOWIE there it is again that UGLY brown trim that ruins the cobalt blue and other color in Floral Lace. It looks like something my dog left in the yard.
Geez can't you find another way to incorporate the main color? The only Temptations I purchased went back after a week of looking at the brown and couldn't take it anymore. I quess Temptations is just not for me.
Cranberry Floral Lace
Hey I just bought the spice 16 piece set of Floral Lace dinnerwear and I really want the Floral Lace dinner set in Cranberry. Does anyone know where I can find it???
Vickitag
Shamrock
Is there anyway to find all the items that are in the Shamrock Floral Lace pattern?
Springfetti temptations
Will we still be able to purchase Springfetti items, or is it being discontinued. Is it only sold during Spring season?
Lasagna pan
I have been wanting an Old World blue Lasagna baker but cannot find one. The closest I found was only 7 3/4 inches wide....kind of small. Is there such a thing as a temptations old world baking dish that is at least 9 X 13 and 3 inches deep?
