Stripes and Fiesta

Do you ever get stumped on your post title? I do. Most of my posts are about my table so unless there is theme or holiday, I have a hard time naming the post.  I was looking back at my titles and I seem to like to add Fiesta to the title. I thought I had named several with the word stripe but I could only find two. So there is my title for today. Silly I know.
On to the table.
My friend gave me the cloth and napkins for Christmas.  She came by the week of Thanksgiving on her way to her home town of Roswell, NM.  So it was an early gift.  I used the cloth the next day for breakfast but there was no time for pictures.
I had been wanting to use it again and when I found these napkin rings yesterday, I knew it was time to bring it out again. The Fiesta colors are Peacock, Lemongrass, Scarlet and Tangerine.

 Here is the closer look at the Fiesta heart bowl. There are two sizes now. This is the larger size. A friend and I were talking this morning that we wish we had these bowls in every color.

I hope you are all staying cool in the heat and that you have a great week!

4th of July 2013

I had been looking forward to setting this table since I purchased the tablecloth. I had several dishes on the it trying to decided which combination I liked best that day.

I gathered stuff together in one of my trays to take to the dining area.

I also decorated the china cabinet, cart and shelves that are also in the dining area.

The Fiesta colors are Scarlet, Cobalt and Lapis.  The white stripe plates are not Fiesta but they are made by the same maker.

 The plate under the casserole dish is employee item for Homer Laughlin China Company. It is certificate of completion of some kind of training.  I found it a thrift store along with some Fiesta dishes.

 I found the lollipops at Walgreens. I will admit I had to throw them away. They melted and stuck to the glasses.

Wishing you a happy and safe 4th of July!

A New Color to Play With!

The new Fiesta color has been released. I was so excited to walk into the store and see the display.  They are still working on taking out stuff but it looked awesome.  It will work with so many colors. You all know I had to set the table with it as soon as I could. However, it is rather difficult to capture the true color on camera.  There were lots of pictures on Facebook but they all looked different.  My lighting leaves a lot to be desired. I tried opening the shutter doors and turning off the light but that was too dark.  So I turned the light back on and took some more pictures.

The Fiesta colors are Lapis, Chocolate, Lemongrass, Chartreuse and Gray.
What's on your table this week?

I will be joining Cuisine Kathleen for Let's Dish!

Have a great week!
