I belong to a couple of Facebook groups about Fiesta, one of my favorites is the "I Love Fiesta Group." It is such a wonderful community, everyone is complimentary, friendly and full of Fiesta love!
The group admins sponsor a number of activities throughout the year, Leading up of the release of the new Fiesta color (this year it was Peony!) they hosted "Color Week" and encourage members to post their dishes in the color of the day. In December, they host, "The 12 Days of Dishmas," each day you post the number of dishes of the day and May they host the "May B, C's." It is so much fun for a dish fanatic like me. Every January, one member, "G" hosts a giveaway -- most a table with a country theme and hashtag and you are entered into a drawing for a Belk Box. All of out of the goodness of their heart!
So, for my table smile, as "G" likes to call table settings, I chose to use Turquoise as the theme. "G" likes gingham/plaid -- so I used blue plaid placemats.
The table setting used Turquoise, Peacock and Shamrock plates. I only had four plaid placemats, so I used blue rattan ones for the table ends. As long as I was mixing and matching, I used matching napkins from my favorite napkin person on Etsy. A beautiful turquoise, orange, yellow and green floral print. I mixed the napkin rings with greenery and sunflowers from my bestie for Christmas and a rattan set to finish it off.
Because dinner was imminent, I didn't have time to think through the centerpiece. The vase is a Bauer "Fred Johnson #213" vase in Moroccan Blue.
Moroccan Blue is an oceany blue the pulls in the colors of the plates. Orange and yellow tulips matched the napkins and the table is set!
The new color for Fiesta is "Peony" as I looked at the pictures of it doesn't appear to be too different from P86 Rose. One of the pictures compared it to Vintage Rose, P86 Rose, Flamingo and Persimmon. In this photo, it looked like a lighter Persimmon. We won't know until we see it in person. In the meantime, here are some of the Fiesta Pinks!
