Saying Goodbye to Fiesta Cobalt 86 and Shamrock

For the last week of "Fiesta(ware) January," Pat set the table using the most recently retired Fiesta colors: Cobalt 86 and Shamrock. It's a bit sad to say "Goodbye" to such bright, fun colors but we look forward to seeing the newest color "Peony" in stores this Summer.

Flatware is "Image" by Spode

Pat made the napkins in colors to coordinate with the Fiesta(ware)

The charger is "Espana Cobalt" by Tabletops Unlimited" - Pat found them while out thrifting for a dollar each.

Glassware is from the Dollar Tree

Pat wanted a simple but colorful centerpiece to show off the place setting - it's a mix of assorted fresh and silk flowers and 14" tapers in the iconic, hard to find Fiesta pyramid candleholders.

Looking Forward to Spring Fiesta(ware) Tablescape

As we continue our month long celebration of the release of the new Fiesta(ware) color for 2022, Pat wanted a little brighter look for our third Fiesta(ware) tablescape this month.  As you know, Fiesta dinnerware colors blend well with each other. You can design many totally unique tablescapes if you have two or more colors to work with. One of Pat's favorite Fiesta color combinations is Turquoise and Lemongrass. It sounds a bit odd but it makes a striking and fun place setting.

Although we have had heavy rains, devastating winds, and unlikely snow storms, Pat still has daffodils blooming in her yard in the middle of January. While these flowers on the table are silk, she has beautiful colorful blooms throughout her yard.
