Fiestaware Meets the Dollar Tree Table

Who says you can't set a nice table using inexpensive dinnerware and glasses? Pat's daughter bought a place setting from the Dollar Tree and brought it with her when she came to visit last month just to "play with" - it featured multiple colors in paisley so it had lots to work with. Here's one place setting that she and Pat came up with:

Flatware is "Vintage Countryside" by Ricci

The place setting starts with a "Lapis" Fiesta(ware) Gusto bowl

Our Dollar Tree store just started to carry salad plates to go with some of the dinner plates

The first charger is a "Lapis" Fiesta(ware) Chop plate

The wooden distressed square charger is from Pier 1 three or four years ago

One of our favorite "go to" glass sets - from the Dollar Tree

The green glass candle holders are part of our Depression Glass collection
