To start the tables, Pat used the same placemat for each setting and my Hawaiian "guy." Then she used inexpensive plates, flatware, glasses and napkins to give each table a different look and feel.
The unifying elements:
This flowery placemat was purchased at Bed, Bath and Beyond recently
|
Kane (male or man) Hula Dancer - my "guy"
|
Now, the details of each table:
Flamingo and Lemongrass:
Close up of the place setting
|
A simple fold for this great napkin ring and brown napkin
|
This is a Flamingo pink Fiestaware luncheon plate
|
The Lemongrass Fiestaware dinner plate acts as a charger
|
Pat used colorful lime green flatware by Cambridge to add more color
|
The five piece place setting
|
A Dollar Store lime green soup bowl sits on a Lemongrass Fiestaware Bread and Butter plate
|
Pat used palm trees for a different centerpiece
|
Pier 1 had this napkin ring in three different colors this season
|
Of course, the very popular Dollar Store green stemware works well
|
One last look
|
Persimmon and Sunflower Yellow:
Over view of the table
|
Pat just tied this beige napkin from Bed, Bath, and Beyond instead of using a napkin ring
|
We both love the Persmimmon Fiestaware salad plate
|
Next is a Lemongrass Luncheon plate from Kohl's (I have no idea why the rim is different on Fiesta luncheon plates from Kohl's. And none of the clerks knew either.)
|
A Sunflower yellow dinner plate follows
|
To add another matching color from the placemat, Pat used this Fiestaware Paprika Bread and Butter plate
|
Bamboo styled flatware is by Cambridge
|
The five piece place setting
|
More Dollar Store stemware - this time very simple clear glasses
|
One last look
|

|
Inexpensive avacado green napkin from Bed, Bath, and Beyond is held by a knot napkin ring

Matte stainless steel flatware is "Vault" by Gourmet Settings
|
The five piece place setting
|
One again, stemware is from the Dollar Store
|
This is a Rose Fiestaware salad plate
|
A Fiestaware Lemongrass Luncheon plate is next
|
Sorry, the color is awful but this is an avocado green dinner plate from the Dollar Store
