Watering Cans on a Spring Tablescape
I love watering cans although I don’t use them to water my garden. I have a few in different colors and sizes. This red gingham tablecloth came from Sur La Table several years ago. It is heavy cotton and easy care, well made and great quality. I’ve used it before at Christmas time and on Summer tablescapes.
I wanted a salad plate with a watering can on it and I finally found these plates on Etsy. I bought them from three different sellers to get six. There are four different designs on the plates. They were designed by Debbie Mumm in 1999 and they were made by Sakura. The pattern was called Garden Vignette.
I love gardening and these plates show perfect images of a gardener’s world, at least my gardening world!
This dinner plate was made by Fiesta and the color is Sunflower. I bought them at Macy’s several years ago when I started tablescaping.
If you read my blog you have read about my Mikasa Color Spectrum chargers before. I have them in several colors, this one is Hunter Green. They are some of my favorite chargers. I really love the size, design and shape. They were all discontinued but I bought them on Ebay a few at a time over several years.
This Milano Red flatware is made by Ginkgo International Le Prix. I have had this set for years but it is still for sale. I can’t remember where I bought it.
I had someone on Etsy make these napkins for me, she has made several sets for me. I tell her what I want on the napkins and she searches for different fabrics for me to choose from. I really wanted green watering cans and she found gardening fabric with them. The watering can napkin rings came from Hobby Lobby last year. They were a tin color and Hubby painted them for me.
I saw these small plastic watering can party favors on Etsy a couple weeks ago and I knew I could use them as place card holders. They were baby blue but Hubby painted them for me. When I buy place card holders sometimes they come with place cards. I was looking through my place cards and I found these green ones with red flowers, perfect for this table.
If you read my blog you have seen these red Waterford Marquis Brookside goblets on my tablescapes several times. I love these red goblets! The green plastic goblet came from Pier 1 several years ago. I use these green goblets often on my Spring and Fall tablescapes.
I saw this large green metal watering can on another blog a few years ago and I knew I had to have it. I used it as a centerpiece last summer on my Sunflower tablescape. It was made by MacKenzie-Childs and I bought it on their web site. Someone on another blog mentioned how lifelike these red poppy faux flowers were and I bought them on Amazon this month to match the red flowers on the napkins.
I found this watering can salt and pepper set on Amazon last week. I can see why some people collect salt and pepper sets, I have found some cute ones!
I love Mosser Glass and I bought this red Mosser Glass salt and pepper set online at The Vermont Country Store a few weeks ago. I have Mosser Glass goblets and plates too. Mosser Glass is a family owned company that was started in 1971 in Cambridge, Ohio. This handcrafted glassware is heavy and excellent quality.
Time for some Spring gardening!
