A Lighthouse Tablescape for Summer

I did a different lighthouse tablescape four years ago, you can see that one here. When I saw this tablecloth on Amazon I decided it was time to do another lighthouse tablescape. The colors on this tablecloth say Summer to me.

I didn’t want to use the same lighthouse salad plates that I used before so I looked on Ebay and found this set. There are six different designs and the plates were made by Royal Norfolk.

The white dinner plate was made by Fitz and Floyd and the pattern is called Oakdale White. I bought them at HomeGoodsseveral years ago. I like the braid design around the rim of the plate.

I love this heavy blue glass charger. They were made by Villeroy and Boch and the pattern is Verona. Not sure where I found them. I have had them for several years.

I have read that you are not supposed to set a placemat on top of a tablecloth on a tablescape but I am not one to follow those kind of rules on my informal tables. I bought this placemat at Pier 1 several years ago. I have it in several colors. I wanted to use them on this tablescape to break up the busyness of the tablecloth a bit by added a solid block of color.

This flatware pattern is Milano Red flatware by Ginkgo International Le Prix. I have had this set for several years, not sure where I bought it. You can still find it for sale online.

I found the napkins on Etsy a few years ago, I love the design with the blue ocean background. I found the napkin rings on Ebay a few years ago. From time to time I search Ebay for napkin rings and I always seem to find some interesting ones.

I can’t remember where I bought this white monkey fist knot place card holder. The monkey fist knot was used by sailors to add weight to a rope or cable. Hubby added a small wood circle stand to the bottom of it that he painted white so the knot would stand straight.

The red iced tea glass goblet was made by Waterford and the pattern was Marquis Brookside. I bought them at HomeGoods many years ago. They are on Ebay for sale from time to time. The dark blue acrylic goblets came from Pier 1 on sale a few years ago before our store closed. It’s difficult to see but they have a rope design around the top of the goblet. I often use them on summer ocean themed tablescapes.

I knew I wanted to use a lighthouse for a centerpiece and I found this lighthouse cookie jar on Ebay a few years ago. It’s sitting on a dark blue drink dispenser stand from Pottery Barn that I bought several years ago, to give it more height.

Hubby loves lighthouses probably because he spent his life’s work in navigation and commercial GPS. We took a trip to the Outer Banks a few years ago and we visited a few lighthouses. We want to visit more!
