Day 228 of 2026

As always I get inspiration 

from the color combinations I find at IKEA. 

While I found plenty in the textiles today, 

this one is calling to me

 for my changing of the dishes this fall. 

 

Day 76 of 2026

Happy St. Patrick's Day. 

I changed the dishes sometime last week. 

Some of them are in the dishwasher. 

Can you tell which ones we use the most?

I don't think I can list them all

 but I used all my greens, white and linen.

 

Day 20 of 2026

I have changed the dishes. 

I've skipped right by my preferred winter colors

 to make sure I didn't get busy or distracted

 and forget to change them for Valentine's Day. 

Colors used: 

Peony, Flamingo, Linen, Sky, Scarlet, White

 

Day 352 of 2025

It's nice to see the Christmas dish selection in action.

 

Day 345 of 2025

While I had all the dishes out the china cabinet

 to move furniture around, 

it seemed like a good time to change the dishes. 

Even though we will be hosting a crowd in a couple weeks, 

this seems like way too many dishes to be out at once. 

I may put a few of them away until they are absolutely necessary.

 

Day 175 of 2025

There is a new Fiesta color. 

This one is called linen. 

I'm looking forward to mixing this one in.

I'm not sure when they started with this stamp 

on the back of the pieces. 

It's definitely new to me 

to have a number stamped below the Fiesta logo.

 

Day 145 of 2025

It's been a very long time since I've done a changing of the dishes. 

I've chosen an expanded red, white and blue palette. 

With a patriotic holiday in four of the next five months, 

I feel it's an appropriate way to go. 

(scarlet, flamingo, peony, cobalt, lapis, twilight, 

peacock, turquoise, sky, white)

 

Day 283 of 2024

We finally ordered the newest Fiesta dinnerware color, sky. 

They didn't tell us when it was coming 

so it was a pleasant surprise when it arrived today.

 

Day 98 of 2024

I've changed the dishes to keep with the theme of the 

Total Solar Eclipse tomorrow. 

I did not look up all the colors I've used here, 

but they are most of my yellows, 

some of my oranges, black, gray and one turquoise for the sky.

 

Day 33 of 2024

I changed the dishes. 

Up until today they were still in Christmas mode. 

Colors used: White, Scarlet, Flamingo, Peony and Claret

 

Day 345 of 2023

I changed the dishes. 

Like last year, I am still feeling the traditional colors. 

I've used similar colors but left out the slate, black and peony

 and added the new color for 2023, jade.

(scarlet, white, shamrock, evergreen, meadow, jade)

 

Day 200 of 2023

It's been on my list for a while, 

and I finally got the dishes changed. 

I plan to leave these out until I switch them for fall colors.

Colors used: turquoise, lapis, lemongrass, scarlet, daffodil, 

poppy, and possibly one more orange

 

Day 148 of 2023

Sunday, May 28, 2023

It's time to change the dishes before tomorrow's family gathering and cookout.

 I'll leave these out through Flag Day (June 14) and Independence Day (July 4), 

then I'm hoping to get a fresh palette on the shelf for the rest of the summer.

I kept the palette pretty traditional this time without turquoise or pink. 

Colors used: Scarlet, Cobalt, Lapis, Twilight, White

 

Day 75 of 2023

I made the change of dishes just in time. 

(Shamrock, Meadow, Evergreen, Lemongrass, Sage, White, Marigold, Daffodil)

 

Day 28 of 2023

I couldn't wait any longer to change my dishes to red, white and pink

 with a little turquoise thrown in for good measure. 

(colors used: Scarlet, Peony, Turquoise, White)

 

Day 10 of 2023

I forgot to tell you that I changed the dishes for January. 

Like I usually do, I went with the frosty feel of blue and white. 

Colors used: 

Turquoise, Peacock, Cobalt, Twilight, Lapis, white 

and I think one of my purples may have snuck in there.

 

Day 340 of 2022

It's time to change the dishes again.

 I'm going quite traditional on the colors this year. 

Colors used: 

scarlet, peony, white, shamrock, meadow, evergreen, slate, black

 

Day 265 of 2022

Hello, Autumn. 

(Ivory, Slate, Marigold, Scarlet, Black, Tangerine, Turquoise)

 

Day 258 of 2022

Is anyone else ready for fall?

 I am itching to change my dishes and small bathroom towels.

Some of these will definitely make the cut.

 

Day 200 of 2022

I've changed the dishes again, this time to reflect a summery feel. 

I took my cue this time from the Starbucks You are Here mug for Florida.

This should last me until fall.

(colors used: turquoise, daffodil, sunflower, flamingo, white, peacock and peony)
