Sizzling Pink and Lemongrass Tablescape

Once again, blazing forest fires and sweltering heat mark another Summer in Northern California. Pat wanted to set a table to bring indoors some of that "sizzling" feeling to this week's table. Using a napkin that she made several years ago as the inspiration for the color theme, Pat went to work.

Pat used Fiesta(ware) "Lemongrass" and "White" dinnerware.

Flatware is "Sculpt" by Lenox. We found it at Tuesday Morning (when we had a Tuesday Morning store in our area) years ago

You can see from the napkin where Pat picked up the colors. The white napkin inside is the one that guest will actually use.

The dinner plate is "Lemongrass" Fiesta(ware.) The matching bread and butter plate is actually a Fiesta(ware) appetizer plate.

Thanks to Pat's wonderful husband, we have coordinating hot pink chargers. They are inexpensive lacquer chargers (found at any Dollar Store or Thrift store) and spray painted with plastic adhesive paint.

The glasses are from Pier 1 years ago

The flower arrangement is pre-made from Michael's years ago
