Another Whale of a Tablescape

I did a Whale Tablescape two years ago and I have been wanting to redo it so that I could take better photos. I made a few changes to it this time too. I saw this tablecloth on Amazon a few months ago and it reminded me of ocean waves so I knew I could use it on this tablescape.

This melamine appetizer whale plate was made by Vineyard Vines. The back says, “Every day should feel this good”. They were sold at Target a few years ago but they sold out quickly. I bought them on Ebay.

This whale design melamine dinner plate was made by Vineyard Vines too, part of the set of whale table items at Target a few years ago. It also has “Every day should feel this good” on the back. They sold out quickly as well and I bought mine on Ebay. I love the whale silhouette at the top.

The charger is my Antique Beaded Charger that I bought at Williams Sonoma several years ago. I use this charger constantly on my table settings. If you look back through my blog at my tablescapes, you will see it often.

This FishStix flatware set is really fun. It was made by Galleyware. I bought it a few years ago online but I can’t remember where. I love the fish head designs in the bowls of the forks and spoon and the fish tail handles. The knife has a shark face on the side. I think the set has been discontinued.

These metal white whale napkin rings were also part of the Vineyard Vines whale set from Target a few years ago and I bought them there. I had someone on Etsy make the whale napkins for me.

The clam shell place card holders were made by Andrea by Sadek. I bought them online several years ago but I can’t remember where. If you read my blog you have seen them before on some of my other ocean themed tablescapes.

The white goblet on the left came from Walmart last year. They were made by Artland and the pattern is Veranda. The dark blue acrylic goblets came from Pier 1 on sale last year 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.

We saw this whale in a gift shop on a long weekend up the coast a few years ago but it was too expensive. After we came home, I found one online that was a second and it was a good price so I bought it. I added faux white carnations to this centerpiece that I found on Amazon a couple days ago. I bent them and poked them into a vintage blue flower frog that shows just a bit in this photo because I wanted the flowers to bunch together. They remind me of the air and water that a whale blows out their blowhole when they come to the surface of the ocean.

I have always loved whales. Decades ago Hubby and I used to drive out to the end of the Peninsula near here and watch whales pass by during their annual migration. This table brings back wonderful memories of seeing those beautiful creatures.
