Periwinkle and Chocolate Fiesta Tablescape

A few week ago, Pat and I were shopping at one of our favorite - albeit one of our few stores - Ross Dress [and Set Your Table] for Less, when I finally bought these placemats that I have been looking at for a long time. I convinced myself that they were meant for me - that it was a "sign" - since they were still in the store and they were cheap (or as Pat said, no one else would have them......sisters, gotta love 'em.) Anyway, I took them home, and Pat went to work looking for dishes that went with them.

Over view of the table

The place setting

Flatware is "Everyday" by Reed & Barton

Pat first tried brown Clarion goblets by Lenox but they were too dark, so she settled for these mocha colored stems by Libby

Love these napkin rings.....from Pier 1 last year

Pat chose Chocolate and retired Periwinkle Fiesta since these colors were found in the placemat

First layer of the place setting is a Chocolate Fiesta bowl - one of the most recognizable pieces in the Fiesta Dinnerware line

Try as I might, the colors look washed out. Fiesta Periwinkle is truly a beautiful blue

Even the Chocolate color looks faded. Sorry, but it, too, is a beautiful color

The placemat....OK, I admit it, not to everyone's taste

Pat used brown tapes in crystal candle holders to lighten up the table a bit

Now, this blue really turned out blue......Pat found the candle holders at a little curio shop near her home town
