Bowls With Borders Blog Hop

It's here! The Bowls With Borders Blog Hop! I am so excited about seeing all the blogs that are participating in this hop. It is going to be so fun to hop around and see all the different bowls. You can go to Carol's blog to see the whole list of bloggers.
 Would you like to see my bowls?  Fiesta Dinnerware that was introduced  for retail sales in 1936 was my inspiration for my bowls.
 Unfortunately I do not own any Fiestaware but I do have some cute bowls filled with bell peppers from the garden.

 Oh, Look my little Fiestaware bowls are filled with bell peppers too.


 And here is my table runner all finished ready to decorate a table.

If you would like to make your own bowls you can get the pattern from Regina.

Here is the list of the other bloggers who are participating today. I can't wait to see what they have created. I hope you enjoy this blog hop. Thanks  Mdm Samm and Carol for being our great hostesses for this blog hop.  A big thank you goes out to Regina for such a cute pattern.

Now I understand what the Bowls For Borders is. I had seen the hint that it was a blog hop but the title made no sense.
I don't have Fiesta either but have always liked the colors they come up with for the dishes. I purchased some platters at their factory seconds store but ended up not keeping them. I was going to use them when we have Mexican food for dinner.
