Fall FiestaTablescape for One

Like everyone else who tablescapes, we wanted to do at least one Fall tablescape. Pat couldn't resist using Fiesta dishware (I have been on a no-to-dishes-that-we-use-frequently kick), but I agreed with her for this tablescape. Fall colors "shout" Fiesta dinnerware when you couple them with one of our favorite placemats.

Over view of the table

The place setting

Flatware is ceramic handled "Iron Brown" by Noritake

Pat used this small leaf-shaped bowl to add some height and additional color to the place setting

The next layer of the place setting is a "Sunflower" Fiesta salad plate

This is a "Tangerine" Fiesta luncheon plate

Finally, Pat used a "Chocolate" Fiesta Dinner plate and Bread/Butter plate to complete the place setting

Yes, "cheesy" I know, but the green Dollar Store glasses were the only glasses that looked good with the Fall place setting

Fitz & Floyd Crane with Pine Table for One

On Friday, Pat came over to help me organize and straighten out some of the shelves in "the dishroom" (yes, I do have a room dedicated to just tablescaping stuff, but we won't go into that now.....the family already thinks I'm over the dish edge as it is....) Anyway, she found the inspiration plate for this week's Table for One as she was moving a mountain of plates around.

The weather was not cooperating with us - sorry the picture is a bit dark

The place setting

I have to admit it - the inspiration plate is really lovely in person.

To accent the tiny bit of paprika color on top of the crane's head, Pat used a paprika colored plate from Pier 1's "Spice Route" collection

This plate is also from Pier 1

Flatware is "Gold Iconic" by Wallace Silver

Pat chose black stemmed glassware to give the table a more formal feel

Black Depressionware candle holders from our collection
