Soup with a Gusto Table

For all you Fiesta(ware) lovers, this next week is soooo exciting. Homer Laughlin Co. is announcing the "new" color for this year. The countdown clock on their webside is ticking and the anticipation is building.....what will the new color be???? The announcement date is January 14th.

Pat carried the "soup theme" from our other blog over to this one by using a large Fiesta(ware) Gusto bowl as the inspiration for the table this week.

Both "Sage" and "Claret" are discontinued colors in the Fiesta(ware) line. Pat used the plaid napkin for the color choice.

The Gusto bowl holds a whopping 28 ounces - and is, as all newer Fiesta(ware) is, dishwasher and microwave safe.

Flatware is "Musee" by Reed & Barton.

The charger is a "Claret" Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate

As you probably know (since I complain about it all the time), Fiesta(ware) does not produce bread and butter plates anymore. This is actually an appetizer plate.

Pat used simple glasses from the Dollar Tree

Where it came from:
Place Mat - from Tuesday Morning two or three years ago
Dinnerware - "Claret" and "Sage" Fiesta(ware by Homer Laughlin from Replacements.com, Macy's, and Kohl's
Flatware - "Musee" by Reed & Barton from Horchow three years ago
Plaid Napkin - from Pier 1 last year
Napkin Ring - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond several years ago

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