Oktoberfest Tablescape

To celebrate the world's largest beer festival and fair, this week's table features the traditional German Oktoberfest colors of blue and white. Nearly seven million people attended last year and drank nearly  eight million liters of beer. It's a time for fun and food.

We always pull out the "European-style" flatware for Oktoberfest - "Pendulum" by Robert Welch

Pat used "Peacock" and "White" Fiesta(ware) to capture the true colors of Oktoberfest

Instead of water goblets, Pat used inexpensive beer mugs from the Dollar Store

A small beer mug was added to the napkin ring for interest
