The Lilies Have Bloomed!

When I looked outside this morning, I saw that the lilies were in full bloom.  It was time for a new tablescape!


I put the lilies in my new Fiesta sunflower vase.


My daughter wanted to trying coating the strawberries I was planning to serve for dinner.  She did a great job!


 YUM!


This colorful tablecloth presents opportunities to use many of my colorful Fiesta dishes.  The place setting below utilizes shamrock, flamingo and lemongrass.



 This place setting has a sunflower dinner plate, a shamrock luncheon plate and a flamingo berry bowl.

I placed a shamrock berry bowl in a white milk glass compote to use as a butter dish.


I put a lemongrass dinner plate on a white milk glass cake plate to use as a serving piece.


This place setting uses Fiesta in shamrock, tangerine, and lemongrass as well as a white milk glass dessert plate.


The glasses/goblets are also Fiesta.  Each glass has colored rings near the base.


This white Fiesta heart bowl corrals the salt and pepper shakers...or should I say pepper and pepper shakers?  Oops!  One of the diners noticed that he had just peppered and peppered his potato shortly after we started eating!


 Love these lilies!

TURQUOISE AND FLAMINGO

Fiesta's turquoise dinnerware and their newest color - flamingo - were made for each other. And when the lilies bloomed in my flower beds, I knew it was time to marry the two.


I used my newly purchased poppy plates again in this tablescape along with some beautiful vintage turquoise linens I found in an antique shop many years ago.


Once again, I am wishing for a vintage tablecloth...
