Sunflower and Yellow Table

With Autumn more than a month away, our weather is already turning colder. Summer flowers have begun to fade and the leaves on some of the trees are drying up. Pat wanted to set a bright and cheerful table to "hold on" to some of the Summer.

Flatware is "Napoleon Bee" by Wallace

The bright colorful charger is "Sun Yellow" by Mikasa

The glassware is "Picardy" from Pier 1 five years ago

Although Pat didn't use the mug, I wanted to show it

Where it came from:
Charger - "Sun Yellow" by Mikasa from Replacements.com
Dinnerware - "Sunflower Blooms" from Pier 1 three or four years ago
Bread/Butter Plate - "Vintage Yellow" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements.com
Flatware - "Napoleon Bee" by Wallace from Horchow two years ago
Glassware - "Picardy" from Pier 1 five years ago
Yellow Hemstitch Napkin - from Pier 1 last year
Candle Holders - from Pat's collection
Large White Water Pitcher - from Target several years ago
Yellow Candles - from the Ferndale Mercantile Store (a local store that sells really unusual stuff)

This week, we will be joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch:  http://betweennapsontheporch.net/ 

Not exactly Tablescaping stuff:

From the top: "Marigold," right is "Daffodil" [Homer Laughlin stopped producing Fiesta bread and butter plates a few years ago - this is actually an appetizer plate], bottom is "Vintage Yellow," and left is "Sunflower."

Pat laid out four different colors - all in yellow tones - from our collection of Fiesta(ware) bread and butter plates to see which color went best with the dinnerware. She decided on the bottom plate - "Vintage Yellow" (1936-1969).
