Butterflies on a Spring Tablescape

Finally pulled together a butterfly themed tablescape for Spring. I looked for a while before I could find a butterfly tablecloth that I liked, this one came from Ebay. It was new and it was made by Positively Pique. The name of the pattern was Flights of Fancy. I really can’t recommend it because the material is odd. It is labeled 100% cotton but it feels somewhat like thick paper, very strange. I do like the design however, it works for this tablescape.

I almost gave up on this theme because I was having so much trouble trying to find butterfly designs that I liked. I wanted a salad plate that had a butterfly design that covered the entire plate and I finally settled on this set that I found on Ebay. They are Ironstone and they were sold by Pier 1 some years ago. The pattern was called Botanica.

This square dinner plate was made by Fiesta and the color is Tangerine. It matches the orange in the tablecloth as well as the orange on the salad plates. I bought them last year online at Fiesta for a Halloween tablescape. I only have a few square dinner plates, most of mine are round.

This is one of my favorite blue chargers. It is heavy glass and I love the color and the tweed like design in the glass. They are made by Villeroy and Boch and the pattern is Verona. Not sure where I found them. I have had them for several years. If you read my blog you saw them in January on my Snowmen tablescape and last July on my Crab Bisque tablescape.

This flatware is called Madeline Green and I bought it at World Market several years ago. If you google frosted flatware and add the color you are looking for you will find similar sets. I use this flatware often in the Spring and Fall. You may have seen it on my Bunnies and Chicks Easter tablescape this month.

I have had these napkins for several years, I’m not sure where I bought them. They were made by Pfaltzgraff and the pattern was Summer Breeze. The colors were a good match for this tablescape. I used them last month on my Yellow Chicks Easter tablescape. I found these DII metal butterfly napkin rings on Amazon. They were black and Hubby painted them green for me. I love this shade of green.

I found these metal butterflies on Ebay last month. They are not really place card holders but they have wires on the back that I bent into a stand for them. I knew the place card would slide in front of the antennae. There were nine different designs and I love the color combinations!

Looking at this photo I just realized that the blue flowers on the napkin are a pretty good match for the blue flowers on the salad plate!

The acrylic cobalt blue goblets came from Pier 1 several years ago. The acrylic green goblets came from our Pier 1 store before it closed early last year.

I kept googling large butterfly looking for something to use as a centerpiece for this tablescape and finally found this one on Etsy. It was made in 1971 by Homco and it is made of some kind of plastic. It was peach colored but Hubby painted it green for me. I really like the design of this butterfly, all the different curves and lines. It is sitting on a fake rock that we bought for my husband decades ago as a joke. We found the rock in a mall and my daughter was a baby and in a stroller. She wanted to hold it and we got lots of strange looks because everyone thought it was a real heavy rock!

I love butterflies in my garden, I’ve been wanting to do this tablescape for some time.
