Just got my new catalog from the Chile Shop in Santa Fe–which is the place where many people are first introduced to Mary Colter’s classic Mimbreno China pattern (which is also on sale at the gift shops at La Posada and El Tovar and at the California State Railroad Museum–all in copies made by Pipestone.) Anyway, for those of you who have been buying the burgundy colored pieces over the years, apparently the manufacturer is about to change the color to a redder red. They will discontinue the burgundy, so if you need to finish your set, you might want to think about doing it soon.

Or you can do what Black Bart and I plan to do–following the decision they made in the El Tovar dining room–and instead use the black Mimbreno.
