Fiesta and Snowflakes

We had our first snow fall on Thursday.  It is a big deal here in the desert.  Lots of accidents as people do not know how to drive or rather slow down.  Luckily, there wasn't a lot of traffic as schools are still out.

Here is a picture of my backyard and my Reagan eating snow.  I don't know what her exposure to snow was before but when we first went out in the morning she was a bit afraid of the falling snow. By the afternoon, she was eating it.  I didn't get a picture of Ryleigh as she was off exploring under the trees.

The snow was inspiration for my table.  I found the place mats on clearance at Kohl's and I already had all the other snowflakes on the table.  The Fiesta colors are Periwinkle and White.  The flatware was a gift from my cousin.

Happy New Year 2013

I'm using more of my new to me Fiesta in Black.  I've had this table in mind since May when my friend gave me the white square plates that she and her daughter decorated. She also gave me the runner which I folded so the monogram can be visible and we can sit next to each other. I did create the first version back then so this is the second attempt. I like this version better. I used a black charger, a black luncheon plate and a small white square plate.  They crystal champagne and ice glasses were wedding gifts.  The crystal candle holders, salt and pepper shakers, and tray were all thrifty finds.

 

I wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year!

Fiesta and California Hand Prints

I have always wanted to find some vintage tablecloth at thrift shop. Well, I did this past summer.  When I saw this cloth, I am pretty sure I made some kind of noise.  I did get a few weird looks.  A few weeks later I found a similar cloth but it does not have the label nor does it feel the same. 
My camera is giving out again and the pictures are pretty bad. I tried to mess with them on Pic monkey but they may still look pinkish but the Fiesta colors are Scarlet and Black.  Most of the Black pieces are new to me.  This includes the flatware.  I didn't know it had been made in black.

 

 

I used my bow napkin rings and candlestick holders since there are bows are the cloth. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of that part of the cloth.

 

 

We didn't get to use this table. I had to cook to go to my mom's house since we can't bring her here any more and I also had to bake and cook a side dish for my in-laws on Christmas Eve. I hope I can get my New Year's table done tonight but it doesn't look promising.
