Goodbye Tangerine Fiestaware Table

Pat set this week's table with one of the latest Fiesta(ware) colors to be retired by the Homer Laughlin Company. Tangerine was produced from 2003 until now.
While most of the country is suffering from extreme cold weather, here in Eureka, CA, it is balmy and mild......so Pat set the table with a beach theme......(Remember last year? Record breaking rain storms and freezing cold spells........go figure....)

Teal Blue Wave Table

As Pat was pulling out dinnerware to set the table for our other blog, she spotted a stack of plates that we bought a couple years ago. She decided to use one of them for this week's Table for One.







The place mat was just "gold enough" to bring out the gold on the accent plate

Satin finish flatware with straight lines looked best with the busy design of the place mat and accent plate.





Where it came from:
Gold Place Mat - from TJMaxx last year
Charger - "Colonial Blue" Color Spectrum by Mikasa from eBay
White Dinner Plate - "Everyday" by Food Network from Kohl's several years ago
Accent Plate - "Katalla Bay" for Pier 1 purchased two years ago
Flatware - "Kyoto Gold" by Holister from Wayfair two years ago
Bread/Butter Plate - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond's "White" dinnerware collection
Glasses - from the Dollar Tree (still available)
Teal Napkin Ring - from Tailwagger's (a local animal rescue thrift store)
Candle Holders - "Juniper" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements.com
