Fiesta Dinnerware for Fall !

A few months ago a friend of mine and me were at a Dillard's Dept. Store and saw this wonderful mixing bowl set in a color we had never seen before…..I have recently found it everywhere! The color, Marigold, was brought out to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Fiesta!!!!! Fiesta® Dinnerware was designed by Frederick Hurton Rhead in 1936 and is now among the most collected china products in the world. As originally designed, the line featured art deco styling and bold, bright colors. The product was discontinued in 1973 and reissued in 1986 with new contemporary colors to mark its 50th anniversary.

This color along with a few others they have had for awhile will make an incredible fall table!!!!!

First: Marigold

Here is the piece they made to will celebrate the anniversary:

at over $250.00 it is a bit pricy for me! But collectors will be grabbing these up soon!

Would these two colors go beautifully with the Marigold?

It is starting to feel like fall fever is hitting…..I can hardly wait! Everything here at my home looks so burned and scorched…no matter how much we water….we did get a great storm last night, lost quite a few tree branches though…..New roof and gutters work great! :):)

Are you ready for Autumn yet??????

Faux Carmel Apples

I was surfing thru blogs the other day and saw this post on Dragonfly Treasures:

These were so much fun to make!!!!!! I still have to seal them, but I wanted to share with you how my friend Lin and I made ours….

Follow the instructions as to what you need, I ended up getting different paint, these re the colors we mixed:

This is just a personal preference as far as to how much of each…but we ended up adding more paint than the tutorial suggested, and they still turned out great!!!!!

The “nuts” are a type of bedding or cage cover that I found at Wal-Mart…. unfortunately it only came in a huge bag! But I think it was like $3.82 or something, not expensive….

This is ours before the crystal glaze, and we used Krylon Triple Thick Crystal Glaze/0500, also at Wal-Mart.

And here they are before they were glazed….

isn’t the corn cob bedding amazingly like nuts????

Perfect!!!! They are going on a cute plate on my kitchen table after I add some ribbons…..great decorating idea, and they have no calories!!!!!
