Feista my love :)

I am always so excited to see what the new Fiesta color will be this time of year...last year I was beyond excited to start collecting Lemongrass! This year, however, I'm not that thrilled. The new color is Paprika (below) It's ok, but doesn't really fit into the color scheme I have going with my pieces, so I think I will continue on with the colors i have (not that I really need anything else!) and patiently wait until next year, in hopes of a hot pink!! :)



Sooo I decided to take some pics of all my Fiesta and share with you :)

salt and pepper shakers...or hot hair balloons, as the Farmer likes to call them!

some teapots I found at Canton Dish Barn in Canton, TX...they have tons of Fiesta and offer factory seconds with small imperfections at a fraction of the cost! I have to stop there every time I'm in TX!

Some Disc Pitchers...

I adore this bowl...It was one of the first pieces I got...I cant find it online, so I don't know what the official name is, but I love it!!!

This is my first official piece of Fiesta (10 years ago!) and probably still my fave!! Gorgeous colander!

Peacock Hostess Tray

all my serving/mixing bowls! The red ones at the top are nesting bowls, there are 3 and they are amazing!

Bread tray!

LOVE these canisters!!! They look soo amazing on my counter!

The fabulous Fiesta knife set!

I wont let the Farmer use it..he doesn't understand why we have a knife set on display...it is just too cute to get messed up :)

picked up this mismatched butter dish at Canton too...

Here is a view of the whole cabinet! Please excuse the messy table :)

Thank you for taking this Fiesta Tour with me..makes me want to start searching for more pieces ;)

Kiss Me, I'm Southern :)

While I was home, my Momma, my sister, and I went to a cooking store and as you might have suspected I got lots of fun stuff for my baking cabinet! It was mostly Easter stuff (stay tuned!) but we found a few St. Patricks items! The shamrock cookie cutter was calling my name, so I decided to use it and give the whole "flooding" of the icing another try!

I basically did the same thing as I did for the Valentines Cookies..store bought roll of dough and all!

soo cute :) I love St. Patricks day..mostly because of all the GREEN!!!

I also found this little decorating kit while we were shopping...

I used the smallest tip for the piping...

I also added more water to the Royal Icing to make it "flood" more smoothly...

Some of the Shamrocks came out of the oven looking more like clouds or flowers, so I loaded them with icing and sprinkles for the Farmer to enjoy!

cutest little Shamrock sprinkles!

gooey and ohh soo yummy!! The Farmer is not really into presentation!

I piped around the edges of the ones that looked like Shamrocks...I used a bit thicker version of the icing for this step.

then let it set up....

then you drop some of the more watered down icing on your cookie and spread it out using a toothpick.

perfect!!!

There weren't many that were shamatomically correct ;)

then I used two other shades of green for some fun designs... this detail work should have been done with the more thick icing, but I ran out of powdered sugar!

love it!!

polka dots of course :)

This is what happens when you give the Farmer a tube of icing.....
