A Mermaids coming for Dinner Tablescape
I had been wanted to create a mermaid tablescape for a long time and I finally got it done. The camera is fighting with some of the colors on this Mermaid Tablescape unfortunately. For example, the goblets and the lime green napkins are actually a similar color tone but not in this photo! I love this unusual tablecloth, the blue colors change across the tablecloth. Doesn’t it look like waves coming into shore? It came from Amazon a few years ago.
These melamine mermaid salad plates were made by Cynthia Coulter Designs. I bought them a few years ago online at Wilford & Lee Home Accents. I used the colors on the plate to select the rest of the table colors.
This smaller square white dinner plate is unmarked, they probably came from HomeGoods. My plate collection is mostly round plates but I am trying to gather a few square ones in basic colors and sizes when I find them for a good price.
These seaglass square chargers came from Bealls online a few years ago. Turquoise and seafoam are two colors I struggle with, there are just so many different shades and tones for these two colors. It is always serendipity if I end up with two things that match! I suspect these plates aren’t going to match much else!
I bought this frosted white flatware on sale online at Wayfair a few years ago, it was made by Cambridge. I use it often in the summer on my Ocean themed tables. Here it is on my Crabby Table .
These white mermaid napkins rings came from Walmart and Amazon a few years ago, they both had them. The lime green napkins were made by Fiesta, not sure where I got the blue napkins.
These clam shell place card holders were made by Andrea by Sadek. I bought them online a few years ago but I can’t remember where. You can see just a bit of them here on my Whale of a Table tablescape.
The green spiral goblets came from Pier 1 several years ago. They are some of my favorites. Unfortunately when I went to get them for this table, one was broken, so sad! The turquoise acrylic goblet on the left came from Pier 1, I have them in several colors.
I was looking for a mermaid to use as a centerpiece for a long time. Hubby was at a nursery looking at plants and found this one, she was a gray concrete color but I knew I was going to paint her. My hubby would love to tell you how many different colors she was before I finally gave up trying to match sea greens and turquoises and just decided to paint her white! She is solid and really heavy (she weights 25 pounds) and she will probably end up somewhere in the garden eventually. Can’t remember where I got the netting, I’ve had it for a while.
I love shopping at Cracker Barrel, I wish there was one close to us. I found this mermaid salt and pepper set online there a few mouths ago.
I bought these small mermaids on Ebay a few years ago. I think they are supposed to be for fairy gardens.
Summertime means time at the ocean and I often create tables with ocean themes in the summer. You can see them here, https://www.whispersoftheheart.com/tablescapes , scroll down to the Ocean section. You probably have beachie elements around the house to gather to create your own table!
