I'm joining the Christmas 2010 Tour of Homes hosted by Nesting Place
Lovely homes and great decor! By the time you arrive at
The Little Round Table
I hope you'll be ready to take a place at my table for
a nice lunch at this Turquoise, Shamrock and Scarlet filled table.
After lunch I'll show you what I've been up to with some other
holiday pizazz and bling.
I'm also joining Marty's weekly Tabletop Tuesday event over at
A Stroll Through Life, so stop back later for a glass of wine or cider.
You will need it! This is a very long post ...... but it is a very special
holiday with so much going on, I do hope you'll last until we cozy up
by the fire.
Both vintage and reissue Fiesta dinnerware is represented on this table. Shamrock, Turquoise and White plates are reissue. The center vase is Fiesta Turquoise from the 1939 World's Fair, where a working kiln produced souvenir pieces. You can read more about that fair HERE. The vintage Figure 8 tray in Turquoise holds two reissue ramekins, rather than the vintage cream/sugar set it usually holds.
The spiral candle holders are vintage Metlox, sterling is American Directoire, vintage green Depression Glass is paired with red tumblers from Home Goods.
Ivory Metlox spiral candle holders and some vintage items from Homer Laughlin. The Ball Jug is vintage Harlequin.
Little white pitcher from Home Goods stands with vintage Homer Laughlin Turquoise creamer and gravy boat.
The excitement is building as we get closer to that special day,
before you go here is a peek at some of my Christmas decor.

Good Morning, Candy!
ReplyDeleteYour turquoise table looks wonderful, especially with those spirals on the table and the island.
The angels on the mantle are so elegant and shimmering!
Lovely, stunning, striking, bright are only a few words to say how much I love your decorations and photography!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your unique touches! What a BEAUTIUFL home you have. I'm linked up to the tour too if you'd like to have a look: http://jessicaralph.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-home-decor.html
ReplyDeleteOh I love everything about your kitchen, and always adore every tablescape. Your fireplace is gorgeous and the mantel is stunning. Thanks for the tour. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteEverything is so beautiful. I'm especially crazy over your kitchen displays. I'm a collector of the reissue Fiesta & do a lot of similar color combos to yours. I love that just about any combo works. Your tablecloth is perfect.

Beautiful display of fiesta ware. I adore Fiesta Ware. I use it as my every day china!
ReplyDeleteColorful and beautiful table setting. I love it. One of the best I've seen this year!

My mom also has fiesta so I had to click on your post. I really, really like your tablecloth. Has it been in your family or did you find it at an antique store/flea market? I also really like the green depression glasses. I collect the little sherbet bowls. Kelly
ReplyDeleteCandy, I love all your tablescapes, but I have to say - this tablecloth is absolutely stunning and my favorite (so far...)!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love your kitchen, how fun is that. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYour tabel scapes are GORGEOUS! Thanks for the inspiration to use on my "little round table"
ReplyDeleteI love your Fiesta Ware. Your table looks beautiful and inviting.

Love your Metlox candle holders and your Angels are absolutely beautiful. Very nice - thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. I am also a collector of Fiesta Ware. As far as I'm concerned, they are my everyday as well as my fine china. (Lowers voice to a whisper) I have a set of original nesting bowls, and I'm ashamed to admit that I keep them WAY UP HIGH. Someday, when I have a bigger kitchen, they will be front and center. I may even eat my cereal from them.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Gorgeous...loving the red, turquoise and green combination!!!
ReplyDeleteaqua and red were my wedding colors, so i ALWAYS love when they are combined, and i think the holidays are the *perfect* time of year for it! :) thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I am in awe of all your amazing displays. :)

Love your tablescape! Is the tablecloth vintage as well? If so, that is quite a find too!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty. Love the turquoise! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your lovely comments! This tablecloth was an eBay find a couple years ago. As the story goes it was a souvenir brought home by the seller's mother in the 1950s or so from Italy. Vintage or not, it is always a favorite when I post it. :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to all you Fiesta collectors! And for those of you who don't have Fiesta ..... someday maybe you will be lucky enough to catch the Fiesta bug! LOL
Candy
Gorgeous kitchen and table decorating!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anna! So glad you stopped by to visit, hope to see you again very soon.
ReplyDeleteCandy
I love the combination of turquoise, green, and red, the tablecloth is killin' me! I've never seen candleholders like that. Scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteLove, love,love all of your Fiestaware. I have 13 place settings all in different colors. One of my favorites is sunflower. Beautiful tablescape!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful festive home, I love the crockery! Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I love your table setting and your kitchen...love the colors...and great music to add to the occasion!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

How beautiful! I love your table arrangement! I've been collecting Fiesta since I was 16, so I really love your centerpiece. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWow, everything is so beautiful! Love your kitchen too!!
ReplyDeleteCandy, I am seriously in love with this tablecloth. It makes me want to get out all my turquoise Harlequin and set a table. Thanks for the pics and for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as usual! I love the turquoise and white candle holders. So different!!
ReplyDeleteI want to replace my oblong table with a round one. What diameter is yours? It holds a four piece setting beautifully. Is it possible to squeeze 5 or 6 people for a casual setting?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Love all your settings.
Gorgeous decorations and that table is beautiful too. Great mix of colors and use of the vintage tablecloth. Great job.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Thanks to all of you for your generous compliments! This is such a detour from the norm and I enjoy it every year when it comes out of hiding.
ReplyDeleteThe Little Round Table is a 42" round glass top that I bought at Pier 1 decades ago! It sits atop a vintage wrought iron table base. It seats 4 very comforably, 5 if there are a couple of little people involved. :-) It really is the perfect size for most vintage square tablecloths, which were much smaller than today's linens.
