Child's Play...

Summer mornings in the Rocky Mountains are some of my favorite times. They're usually cool, calm and quiet. When I first started collecting Fiesta, I noticed that there was a child's tea set listed on the Homer Laughlin website. I've always been drawn to miniatures, so I ordered it. How thrilled I was to open the box.

Inside, was a 2-cup teapot, creamer, sugar, 2 cups, saucers and plates. Today I thought that this set would be perfect to showcase on Tablescape Thursday. They come in Sunflower, Plum, Shamrock and Tangerine. The little cups are so cute. I can just imagine a lovely tea party with this set and my grand daughters.



I bought the tiny silverware at IKEA. They came with their own set of dishes, which I'll probably show you all someday.

Congratulations Susan on your 100th post. I love coming here every Thursday and seeing what each and everyone of you have created for us. I appreciate all of your comments on my posts too. You are all so wonderfully kind!

  10. This is darling! For many years I collected vintage Fiestaware. Someone offered to buy my entire set for a price I just couldn't refuse a few years ago. I still love it and the child's set is too cute!
