Remembering The Little Round Table

We just learned of the passing of a very creative and talented Tablescape designer - all of us Fiesta dinnerware lovers have so much to be grateful for after viewing Candy's blog "The Little Round Table" (Here) over the past few years. Needless to say, she was our "Fiesta inspiration." Neither Pat nor I owned a piece of Fiesta until we found Candy's blog. Yes, we had dozens and dozens of other sets of dishes - but not a piece of Fiesta in sight. Now - much to the entire family's dismay, between us, we own 28 different sets in assorted colors. And Pat's daughter has developed the Fiesta "disease" owning a couple dozen different colors. What fun!!! And with Candy's examples, we have set hundreds of colorful, fun, and unique tables.


Candy often used her extensive collection of tablecloths as her inspiration. So, Pat pulled out a bright and cheery placemat and designed our table around it to remember a truly gifted tablescaper.

The table - definitely not a table for the faint of heart

This is the bright and colorful placemat that Pat chose for her starting point

The place setting - as you can see, Pat used several different colors, but with Fiesta, they all blend together well.

Flatware is "Musee" by Reed & Barton

What could be brighter than a Marigold colored flowered napkin ring holding a shocking pink and a bright orange napkin?

The bowl is a Shamrock green color

Not a good picture, the luncheon plate is in the new Lapis color

Lemongrass dinner plate

This is actually a pretty Periwinkle Blue color - sorry, the picture does not show it off well

Marigold Bread and Butter Plate

Our newest color - Poppy cup and saucer

These light blue glasses are from Pier 1

Turquoise color Jam jar and sugar and creamer set

This tiny rose colored pitcher is a gift from my niece



"Keep Calm and Call if Fiesta - not Fiestaware." Yes, Candy, I will try to remember...... and Thank you for sharing so much talent. You will be missed.
