Two Tables

Since I showed my friend's table last week, I  didn't post what was on my table. So I will show it off with this weeks.  It was rather plain. I didn't get very inspired. It started with the napkins and wanting to use Lapis again.  Aside from Lapis, there is White, Yellow, Scarlet and Lemongrass.




So this week, I used my new to me tablecloth that my friend Ruby gave me for my birthday! We hadn't seen each in months and we only had a few minutes but it was good to see her.
 The Fiesta colors are Lapis, Marigold and Shamrock.  My tureen needed some attention so I brought it out as the centerpiece.



We had pancakes for breakfast on Sunday. Hubs makes me extra for the rest of the week.
I hope you are having a good week.

Coca-Cola Table

I have been telling my best friend that I have wanted to set a table with some of her dishes. I went to her house last week and she just cleared her table off and went to work on a tablescape. I hope to set a couple more with her other sets of Coca-Cola dishes. My friend collects Coco-Cola like I collect Fiesta.
It was spur of the moment table and we didn't have linens. She just took out the fondue pot. I used one of her mini tables to sit it on.
 The coke bottles to the left are salt & pepper shakers.


The white  bottles are also salt & pepper shakers.

I just love the faces on these dishes.
I hope you enjoyed a break from the Fiesta dishes. My mind is working on another table with my dishes and also with my friend's collection.

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!
