Time for a Picnic Tablescape

If you read my blog you know that I have a thing for red. When we remodeled the kitchen it changed from dark wood to white with red accents. I had been saving red kitchen items for years! I had been thinking about using these three red plaid plates together in a tablescape for a long time. I used one or two together before but never all three at the same time. The tablecloth came from Sur La Table online several years ago. It was one of my first purchases when I started tablescaping. It’s a nice thick cotton fabric.

The plates were made by At Home with Marieke and the pattern was called Sarah. This pattern has been discontinued.

The dinner plate is a nice size. I really love the graduated red plaid design on these plates as they are set together.

This charger is large and heavy, I have used it several times before on Christmas and 4th of July table settings.

This Milano Red flatware is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years but it is still for sale. Not sure where I bought it. I use it several times a year on tablescapes.

The plastic red Koziol Pip Bird napkin ring came from Ebay several years ago, I have it in green also. It has been discontinued but you might be able to find it on Ebay from time to time. The lime green napkins were made by Fiesta. The red plaid napkin is marked DII (Design Imports) for the Home. I think I bought them at HomeGoods a few years ago.

The white place card holder can be written on as well with a special pen. Can’t remember where I bought them but it was probably Williams Sonoma or Crate and Barrel, I have had them for several years. It’s a nice simple place card holder, I have used it on many tablescapes.

Can’t remember what company made the red goblet. I bought them on Ebay and I have had them for a long time. If anyone recognizes the pattern, please let me know! I bought the green goblets at Pier 1 several years ago. I love the spiral design and the height. I wish they had sold this goblet pattern in other colors as well.

I bought this salt and pepper set on Amazon last year.

I love these condiment jars. I bought them online last summer on Ebay. They were originally sold by Williams Sonoma.

It wouldn’t be a picnic without a few extra guests. I bought these metal ants at Pottery Barn a few years ago. They were red but Hubby spray painted them black for me. They are place card holders but I decided to add them to this table for some additional interest and fun.

This basket is a Longaberger basket from 2002. These baskets were handmade by the Longaberger Baskets company in Dresden, Ohio. They were sold at house parties (like Tupperware) for many years. The company is still in business and sells beautiful handmade baskets online now.

Definitely time for some hamburgers and hot dogs!
