Birds on a Spring Tablescape

This is a Spring tablescape that I did a few years ago but the photos I took then weren’t very good. I have been wanting to set it again so I did it with a few changes. I have had the tablecloth and matching napkins for several years, I can’t remember where they came from, although since it is a matching set it was probably a retail store like Macys or Bed, Bath & Beyond. I love birds and I have two bird baths in my back yard. (A good thing to remember, if you have small birds, they need to be able to stand in the middle of the bird bath easily. It needs to be really shallow.) I have had as many as twelve birds standing on the edge or taking a bath at the same time, they are so fun to watch! I think they all live in a neighbor’s giant bottle brush tree. I keep crossed my fingers that they never cut it back!

I love this blue and white porcelain plate set. It is perfect for a Spring tablescape. I love that the design covers the entire plate and I love the rim design as well. It is fun to use a plate that isn’t round for a change too. The blue is a blue gray and it is difficult to match but variety is the spice of life! The plates were made by 222 Fifth (PTS International) and the pattern was called Adelaide Blue. It came in several other colors as well. I bought the first few at HomeGoods several years ago and then filled in the rest of the set on Ebay. I often do that when HomeGoods doesn’t have the number I need but I always check Ebay or google them before I buy to make sure that I can get more.

The dinner plate design is similar to the salad plate except it has more white space without the design. This dinner plate is large, 11” by 11” so the charger had to be even larger.

I bought the square white chargers online at a restaurant supply store some years ago but I can’t remember where. They were made by Core Dinnerware and the pattern was Acopa. If you are looking for plates with a basic design, an online restaurant suppy store is a good source but you will have to buy in quantity. Dollar stores are a better source for basic plates.

This is probably one of the prettiest stainless flatware sets that I own. I absolutely love the different delicate bird and flower designs on each handle. It is called Audubon by Ricci Silversmiths. I bought it online at Horchow a few place settings at a time over several months some years ago. It is 18/10 and great quality

You can see the raised tweed like design on the tablecloth and napkins in this photo. The white bird napkin rings came from Houzz online a few years ago and they were made by Design Imports.

I found the white bird place card holders online at Wayfair a few years ago. One would think white birds would not be that difficult to find but I looked for a long time!

I have very very tall white goblets but I had been looking for shorter ones for a long time. I finally found these white goblets at Walmart online a few years ago. They were made by Artland and the pattern is called Veranda. I bought the blue goblets on Ebay, you can still find them for sale there. They were made by Libbey in the 1970’s and the pattern is Tulip in Dusky Blue. They actually are a bit lighter blue gray than this photo shows.

I found this bird cookie jar at HomeGoods some years ago. This bird is usually sitting on a red shelf in the family room. It is sitting on a small white plastic cake stand to give it a bit more height, can’t remember where I found it, probably HomeGoods.

I have had the small white birds on both sides of the centerpiece for a while and I can’t remember where they came from.
