Assorted Fiesta(ware) Table

One of Pat's favorite tricks is to take a colorful napkin and use it as the inspiration for a tablescape. This week's napkin was found at TJMaxx last year. Pat pulled out an assortment of colorful Fiesta(ware) and went about creating the place setting.






This is actually a Fiesta(ware) Buffet plate - Kohl's sells it as a luncheon plate. It's 9" across but does not have the customary rim.








Where it came from:
Place Mat/Napkin - from TJMaxx last year
Charger - by Bernardaud from Tuesday Morning several years ago
Dinner Plate, Bread/Butter Plate, and Salt/Pepper Shakers - "Peacock" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's and Replacements three or four years ago
Luncheon/Buffet Plate - "Lemongrass" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Kohl's
Salad Plate/Liner - "White" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Kohl's
Soup Bowl/Mug - "Shamrock" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Kohl's
Flatware - "Primary" Ceramic Handled flatware by Noritake from eBay and Replacements
Glassware - from Pier 1 several years ago
Napkin Ring - from Pier 1 three or four years ago
Gnome - from our collection

Bird Table

Since she used the Pier 1 "Field Notes" dinner plate for our other blog, Pat decided to use the salad plate in a different color theme/tone for this week's Table For One.
Pat used green tones for the table - what is fun when you have lots of Pier 1 dinnerware is that you can mix and match their stuff no matter when you bought it.

The charger, the dinner plate, and the accent plate are all from Pier 1 over the last few years






Pat's favorite "go to" green glassware - from the Dollar Store


I love this idea - Pat used bird seed to surround and hold the candle

Where it came from:
Charger - from Pier 1 last year but still available
Dinner Plate - "Ginger" Spice Route from Pier 1 three or four years ago
Salad/Accent Plate - "Field Notes" from Pier 1 this year
Bread/Butter Plate - "White" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements
Flatware - "Sofia Green" by Hampton Forge from Tuesday Morning several years ago
Glassware - from the Dollar Store
Napkin Ring - from the Ferndale Emporium (a local gift boutique) last year
Bird Houses - from TJMaxx last year
