An Ocean Tablescape for Summer

I used some of the items on this tablescape on a Summer tablescape that I did several years ago before I started blogging but I made some changes for this one. You can’t really tell but this tablecloth has an ombre design, the color is graduated in tone as it moves down the table. The tablecloth was made by Ambesonne and I bought it online a few years ago at Walmart. The pattern is called Deep Maldives Ocean.

These small appetizer or tidbit plates were made by 222 Fifth, PTS International, and the pattern was called Coastal Life. I have had them for several years, they probably came from HomeGoods or Ebay. There were four different plate designs in the set. Ebay still has them and other dishes from that collection for sale from time to time.

I really like this simple small white salad plate. It is bone china and quite thin. It was made by Gibson and the label on the back says Elite. I probably bought them at HomeGoods several years ago.

These melamine blue dinner plates came from HomeGoods a few years ago. They are labeled Artisan de Luxe Home. I really like the lip design on these plates, it is very different. I like plates with an unusual lip design, it adds interest to the plate stack.

I have a few different white chargers but this is the one I seem to use the most on my tablescapes. The beaded rim design always adds an additional bit of interest to the plate stack. This white beaded charger came from Williams Sonoma and it is called Antique Beaded. It was one of the first chargers that I bought years ago when I started tablescaping. A basic white charger is always a good purchase when you are starting a tablescaping collection.

I have had this frosted blue flatware set for a few years. It is labeled D & D Inox in Italy. It was made by Vietri and the pattern is Aladdin Brilliant in light blue. (Don’t mix it up with Aladdin Antique, that stainless set has a darker matte finish on the stainless.) I bought this set at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale a few years ago. There are similar frosted patterns available for sale online now . I have other frosted flatware sets from different companies and I use them often.

I have had these plastic turquoise napkin rings for several years. They probably came from Ebay or Etsy. I bought the napkins at our Pier 1 store before it closed. I love the multi-colored design because I seem to have many different shades of turquoise, teal, and blue dishes and these napkins match many of them.

The shell place card holders were made by Andrea by Sadek. I can’t remember where I bought them but it might have been Ebay.

I think these blue glass goblets came from Pier 1 several years ago. 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 a few years ago. They were made by Artland and the pattern is called Veranda.

I found this large white shell bowl at HomeGoods several years ago. It usually sits on a shelf in the family room. HomeGoods often has large objects that make perfect centerpieces. I put a small towel in the bottom for filler and then covered it with blue flat marbles that I bought on Amazon.

These glass pillar candle holders probably came from Pottery Barn or Crate and Barrel. When I started tablescaping several years ago some of the first things I bought were various sizes and shapes of candle holders. HomeGoods and Dollar stores are good sources for candle holders of all kinds and candles as well.

Almost time for some beach fun!
