Table Inspirations

The inspiration was the napkin.  I think they were placemats that shrunk. I really liked the color combination. I found them at my favorite thrift store. The napkin rings were found at an estate sale. They were new in the box and original purchased at Target.

The Fiesta colors are Lemongrass, Cobalt, Peacock, Turquoise, and Chartreuse. The placemats were found at Kohl's on clearance.  They are licensed Fiesta.

I used one of my many flower frogs to help me arrange the flowers. The glass birds were also an estate sale find.  One of my friends has an amazing collection of glass animals that belonged to her grandmother.  So I had to get some for myself.

I used a flower frog in the chartreuse vase. I need more

Mother's Day 2011

We had my parents and brother over today to celebrate.  I made a ham and roasted potatoes. I got use my new tablecloth and candlestick holders. I found the tablecloth at my favorite thrift store for $1.99. It says "Fresh Flowers by Stella Olsen".  My search for more info came up empty.  I did find out that there is a park by the same name. The napkin rings were found at Bed Bath and Beyond on clearance.

Here is a view of the candlestick holder. They are etched all around. I found them at Goodwill.

The salad bowl is from Crate and Barrel and was a wedding gift from a dear friend. The glasses are Libbey and were purchased at Dillard' years ago.

I used a mixture of Fiesta flatware.

I set up the plates on a cart that we found at estate sale.  The hubby scraped it well and spray painted it.

It was a good day and I got to use lots of my dishes.  I hope everyone had a good day also.

Fiesta Cobalt and Greens

I worked on this table right before Easter. I had just found the Harlequin plates.  The Fiest colors are Cobalt, Periwinkle and White.

The placemats were a clearance purchase from Dillard's.  The napkins are from Walmart and the rings were a gift from my friend Sam from her first trip to visit her son in Dallas/Ft Worth.

I found the green glass basket at Savers. It is a heavy piece. The candlestick holders were also a thrift store find.  I have the matching glasses to them.

The Fiesta casserole in Cobalt was also a Savers find. The blue glasses were found at Tuesday Morning about 10 years ago. My mom and I cleared them out.  They were $.99 each.  Those were the days when my mom still loved to go shopping. So these glasses hold some special memories for me.
