Fiesta(ware) and Fish Tablescape

For this week's table, Pat kept the same white cloth/fish net tabletop as last week and then topped it with bright place mats and matching napkins mixed "White" and "Periwinkle" Fiesta(ware). She finished the place setting with a fish accent bowl that she bought on sale from Bed, Bath, and Beyond several years ago.

Bright place mats and matching napkins were used to set the tone and color of this week's table

The small salt and pepper holders match the centerpiece

Flatware is sleek "Sculpt" by Lenox from Tuesday Morning 

Pat used a Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate for the charger

Pat's very favorite  glassware - from the Dollar Tree

Everyone loves salads in our family - this large centerpiece/salad bowl was the perfect choice when Pat and I found it at Pier 1 a few years ago

Coastal Life Tablescape

This is the second week of Pat's personal challenge to set the table in a nautical or seaside them. This week she used "Coastal Life" dinnerware by 222 Fifth.

Once again, Pat started with a fish net on top of a white tablecloth

Flatware is "Musee" by Reed & Barton

The antique silver chargers are from Tuesday Morning

Pier 1 had these crackle glasses in purple and amber in addition to blue

Once again, although Pat didn't use a cup on the table, I wanted to show what it looked like

This handmade Seagull centerpiece was created by a local artisan several years ago

We found these unusual candle holders at Pier 1 years ago - Pat placed a sky blue votive in each

Otagiri Shell Tablescape

Pat decided to challenge herself and come up with a month of "seaside" tablescapes. She thought it would be fun to see how many different tablescapes in the same theme she could come up with. So here's the first table:.

For the first seaside table, Pat mixed Fiesta(ware) and classic Otagiri "Shell" dinnerware

Before setting the table, Pat draped a fishnet over a white tablecloth and set down navy blue place mats 

Flatware is "Antiqua Frost" by Towle

The accent/salad plate is by Otagiri - it's a beautiful white, thin porcelain shell shape

The dinner plate is newer "Cobalt" Fiesta(ware)

The first charger is a "White" Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate

These over-sized wicker-like chargers are from Costco years ago

Although Pat didn't use cups on the table, I wanted to show what the shape was like

To continue the seaside/shell theme, Pat used these silver shell napkin rings from Tuesday Morning

The centerpiece consisted of a sailboat filled with shells and small white lanterns

Instead of candles, Pat used tea lights on a shell
