Here are some ideas for setting the table, creating centerpieces, decorating the tree, and making wreaths. Setting the Table As you think about holiday meals, you may want to try a different look this year. A creative solution is to combine two or more sets of dinnerware. Mix pieces from the sets at each place setting. However, avoid combining china and pottery, which looks incongruent.

Collectors of medium green Fiesta can set a spectacular table. One option is to use a red tablecloth and combine the green dishes with white or ivory ones. A more informal country look uses a red and green plaid cloth and a combination of red, green, and ivory Fiesta dishes with pine cones and red bows on hurricane lamps as centerpieces. Another pleasing option is to use the various shades of Fiesta green light green, medium green, dark green, and chartreuse set on a white cloth with silver accessories and accents in red. Consider matching a transferware pattern with white dishes that have an embossed design.
