Winter Fiestaware Tablescape

Winter signals shorter days and heartier meals - so Pat brought out heavy-duty Fiesta(ware) and set this week's table with White and discontinued Periwinkle dinnerware.

Pat took her cue for the color theme from the plaid place mats

The glassware and flatware are over forty years old (with the exception of a few "replacements" because of earthquakes and accidents - thank goodness for Replacements. Ltd.....) They are surprisingly sturdy and obviously long lasting.

Flatware is ceramic handled "Iron Brown" by Noritake

The napkin ring is a simple shower curtain spray-painted to match the charger

Pat's dear husband "got the job" of spray painting the chargers and napkin rings to coordinate with the plaid place mats.

Glassware is "Clarion Brown" by Lenox - yes, I used to use them for everyday.....always hand washed but never "babied"

I looked for what seemed like months for brown salt and pepper shakers - found these at JoAnn's Fabrics years ago

Where it came from:
