Bicycling with Fiesta(ware)

As most people who know her understand, my sister is a "fresh air freak."  She walks miles a day according to her "Fitbit" (in addition to going to the gym five days a week but that's another story.) She works in her yard for hours in all kinds of weather, but her true love is bicycling. She rode for years and still has a fondness for the sport. So this week's table is a tribute to the bicycle......

To add more interest, Pat alternated every other place setting using the same color theme



The napkin ring is a simple PVC pipe cut into 1" rounds and spray painted

Fiesta(ware) colors are Turquoise, Rose, and Sunflower





Flatware is ceramic handled "Primary" by Noritake


Pat placed turquoise salt/pepper shakers at one end of the table and rose colored shakers at the other end


The large bicycle acts as the centerpiece and flower holder


Pat added flowers to the basket

These cute bicycles are actually name card holders - you can see where Pat picked up the colors for the dinnerware.

  5. That table is beautiful on its own, but the addition of the bicycles makes it extra special. I love the little place card bicycles and hope that maybe I can still find some at Pier 1 online. (I'll be checking). Those plate stack colors are so very pretty. Another winner!
