Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!

Here's a tiny tabletop tea for two for Mardi Gras 2011~















This mini 'scape features a Fiesta dinnerware pizza tray as the tabletop. The tea service uses pieces from the "My First Fiesta" child's set in combination with contemporary napkins, Oneida Cityscape demitasse spoons, fleur-de-lis napkin rings & Mardi Gras pierrots from New Orleans.

I'm sharing this party for~

    How wonderful! The combination of plum, shamrock and sunflower colours is great, and I love that you did the little "Table for Two!" Laissez les bons temps rouler!

    Love this, Daphne! The pierrots are really nice and I've been thinking of getting some of the pizza trays to use as chargers. After seeing this, I'm thinking they may be too big!! Thanks for sharing...

    Thanks, ladies! Deb, the large pizza tray would be too large, but the 15" small pizza tray or "baking tray" as it's called on the HLC web site, could work as a charger. This tray is also used in the cake server sets sold at Macy's.

    Happy 'Scaping!

    Fun, colorful pieces. I'm always amazed at how many different pieces of this wonderful pottery were made.

    Adorable! Those little umm what'd you call them-pierrots--precious. I love the fleur de lis napkin rings! Great job!

    Thank you, Ladies! I think it's perfectly acceptable to purchase a My First Fiesta set just for yourself! After all, we're still little girls who love our teasets at heart, aren't we?

    Hi Daphne, your tablescape is delightful. I love the bright colors. I did a Mardi Gras tablescape too, and show the same little jester magnet that you have!

    Best and God bless,
    Kathy
