A Cornucopia Tablescape

This Cornucopia tablescape is a tablescape that could be set in September, October or November. It could easily be set as a Thanksgiving tablescape. I bought the beige tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago. If you are looking for a simple inexpensive solid color polyester tablecloth, Amazon is a good place to look. Just be sure and read the reviews before you purchase. I found the sage green crochet doily placemats at Bed, Bath, & Beyond a few years ago. I wish they had come in other colors too because I really like the ruffled edge and the way they set off whatever is on top of them. Some say that you shouldn’t use a placemat with a tablecloth but I do it anyway sometimes!

I have had these Fitz and Floyd salad plates for several years. I bought them over a few years a few at a time on Ebay. The pattern was called Autumn Bounty and they were made between 1996 and 1999. I love all the detail, the fruit, the vegetables, the flowers and the wicker design in the center. For years every Fall I pulled them out and tried to create a tablescape around them with no luck. Finally this year we pulled them out again and tried to find a dinner plate and charger that would work with them. After trying orange, yellow, various greens and brown dinner plates that just didn’t look right to me I finally realized that since the center was cream, a cream dinner plate might work. And so it did.

I bought these heavy melamine cream dinner plates at HomeGoods a few years ago in the summer time. I also bought the same plate in a deep turquoise color. They were made by IL Mulino New York. In the past few years HomeGoods has had melamine dinnerware in the spring and summer in lots of different patterns for spring and summer dining and some of them can be used year round.

I bought these iced glass sage green chargers at Pier 1 several years ago after I saw them on another blog. I love using them in the spring and fall. I knew they would work with this salad plate and dinner plate.

I am using my Madeline Green flatware on this table, I bought the set at World Market several years ago. I really like the frosted design on the handles. It is one of my most used flatware sets. If you are developing a tablescaping collection be sure to find some flatware in a green color like this set. You will use it often!

I have had these plaid napkins for a long time, they probably came from HomeGoods or Pier 1 several years ago. I love using them on Fall tablescapes. They sometimes can add just the right pzazz to a table with a solid color tablecoth. The plastic pumpkin napkin rings came from Ebay a few years ago.

With the large pumpkin on the salad plate I knew I had to use these pumpkin place card holders. They came from Crate and Barrel a few years ago.

I bought the green acrylic goblet on the left a few years ago online at Home Depot. Home Depot sells tablescaping items. They were made by Certified International. I have had the green acrylic goblet on the right since I started tablescaping eight years ago. I bought them at Pier 1.

This cornucopia cookie jar was made by Fitz and Floyd and the pattern was called Harvest. I had been looking for a cornucopia to use as a centerpiece for awhile and I found this one on Amazon a few years ago. We have a four foot wide bar between the kitchen and the family room and I often set a seasonal cookie jar or soup tureen in the center of the bar with a few other decorations to enjoy during the different seasons. I have different ones for different seasons. In this photo you can see the small glass pumpkins scatter that I added for additional color on the tablescape. I can’t remember where I bought them, I have had them for several years.

I wanted to create some height on the table so I added these green glass candlesticks that I bought on Ebay a few years ago with some orange candles from Amazon. I am not sure if the candlesticks are vintage or not, they are unmarked. I have gathered candle holders of various shapes and sizes over the years since I started tablescaping. From time to time I love searching Ebay for vintage candlesticks, napkin rings, and place card holders. I have found some unusual ones there. I often buy candles on Amazon when I need them.

I’m really glad that I was finally able to use these salad plates on a tablescape!
