Red and White Table

This week's table came together easily after Pat spotted a red square charger in the back of a drawer. She paired it with her Ten Strawberry Street square dinnerware. It made an unique and fun table.

I love the "seamless" style of handles on the ultra modern looking flatware - "Fluence" by Oneida

We found the red velvet bows in the 75% off bin at Pier 1 a couple of years ago

We have never been able to identify the pattern name of the dinnerware - Pat found it at a thrift store a few years ago

Although we think of the goblets as Christmas glassware (Pier 1 sold them during the Holidays), Pat thought they would be perfect for a red and white themed table

Where it came from:
Red Lacquer Charger - from our collection (it's been around for years)
Dinnerware - Pattern unknown by Ten Strawberry Street from a local thrift store several years ago
Red Bowl - "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach from Replacements.com
Flatware - "Fluence" by Oneida from Replacements.com
Glassware - from Pier 1 four or five years ago
Off-white Napkin - Handmade by Pat
Red Velvet Bow Napkin Ring - from Pier 1 two years ago
Crystal Candle Holders - from Tuesday Morning three years ago

Sandpiper and New Meadow Fiesta(ware) Table

"Meadow" is the newest Fiesta(ware) color - it was released this year and became available in June. So, naturally, we had to have it. (It's actually the 51st Fiesta color since the introduction of the dinnerware in 1936. There are usually 14 or 15 color choices at a time so you can pick and choose your favorite. Wished we had all of them!)

Pat decided to "play" with our new dinnerware and wanted to see what other Fiesta colors went with "Meadow." She decided on "Lapis." And then chose an accent plate from Pier 1 to set the theme or the table.

Flatware is "Primary" by Noritake 

This is a "Lapis" luncheon plate

The dinner plate is "Meadow" 

Pat used a "Lapis" Chop Plate as a charger

Glassware is from the Dollar Tree

Pat used an assortment of grasses, stems, and twigs for the centerpiece.

Where it came from:
Place Mat - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago
Dinnerware - "Lapis" and "Meadow" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's and Replacements.com
