Celebrating Older Fiesta(ware) Table

With the release of the new color this week, Homer Laughlin Fiesta(ware) managed to excite a lot of people - unfortunately, I was not one of them. While the color's name, Butterscotch, is fun sounding and unique, I am not overwhelmed by the color. As Pat always tells me however, wait until you actually see the color on plates - not just pictures. The new color is described as "orangey-yellow" and that will make fifteen signature colors available when it is on the shelf starting in June.

Well, Pat took pity on me this week since I was a bit unhappy with the new color release and set the table using one of my favorite Fiesta(ware) colors - "Periwinkle." She mixed it with "White" Fiesta(ware.)

"Periwinkle" is a retired color and was produced from 1989 through 2006. "White" Fiesta(ware) is an active pattern and has been produced since 1986.

Talk about nostalgia - remember Princess House Home parties years ago? By the amount of Princess House stuff we own, it looks like Pat and I were invited to lots of them......this glassware pattern is "Esprit"

Pat used a Fiesta(ware) "Periwinkle" open carafe to hold an arrangement winter pine cones
