Fall with some blue

The inspiration for this table was the napkin, again. It was a thrift store find.  Usually when I find something I really like, I can see the table.  When I see something, the first thought that goes thru my mind is what Fiesta colors will match it.  If I don't feel/see it, I won't buy it.  I'm sure it the same for some of you with the dishes/ items you already have.

The Fiesta colors are Periwinkle, Marigold, Chocolate and Ivory.  My friend gave me the scatters. The ice tea goblets were a wedding a gift. 

 
 
The centerpiece vase/ candle holder was a clearance purchase from Kirklands.  The small covered dish is Franciscan.  It has marked with made in the USA.  I know the picture is not clear but is wheat on the front.
 

 
 
The napkin rings were a Goodwill.  They were still in the package.
 

I will be linking up with Marty at A Stroll thru Life for Table Top Tuesday and Kathleen for Let's Dish.

Have a great week!

Fiesta and Franciscan

My aunt collects Franciscan Desert Rose. I have always admired it. Since I have been finding some pieces at thrift stores and estate sales, I guess you could say I am starting my own collection. I like the way it looks with Fiesta in Rose (not vintage) and Ivory(not vintage). Both salt and pepper shakers and the gravy boat were made in the USA before the company was sold. The salad plates are made in England.



The glasses were found at an estate sale a few years ago. The napkins and place mats are clearance purchases from Dillard's. The rings are licensed Fiesta and were found on eBay.









I hope the pictures are better and that I can still link of with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.
