Anchors Await on a Summer Tablescape

I did an Anchor themed tablescape last summer but the colors were turquoise and white. I had in the back of my mind that I wanted to create one with navy and white this summer. I found this navy and white anchors tablecloth on Amazon a few weeks ago. It’s polyester and it was made by DII. I really like their tablecloths and it was exactly what I was looking for. I like the simple anchor and rope design.

I couldn’t find a salad plate that I liked with a navy anchor on it so I used the trick I did on my Musical Tablescape in May and I bought small unfinished wood anchors on Etsy and Hubby painted them navy blue for me and I set them on a white salad plate.

These white salad plates were made by Wedgwood. They are bone china and the pattern is Intaglio. I bought them at HomeGoods a few years ago. I like the design around the lip of the plate.

These thin melamine red, white, and navy dinner plates with nautical designs on them came from an unlikely source. I was looking online last month for clothes at Talbots end of season sales and found these plates there and I couldn’t resist buying them. I love the strong colorful designs and the anchors are a perfect match for the tablecloth.

These red chargers were made by Juliska and the pattern was Ruby Berry and Thread. Several years ago I bought these chargers a few at a time over several months from various places online until I had the number I needed. I like the simple design on the rim and it is a bit larger than some of the other chargers that I have. The design on the rim reminds me of the rope on the anchors on the tablecloth.

This red flatware was made by D & D Inox in Italy and the pattern was called Roma. I bought them at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale a few years ago. There are similar patterns available online now if you Google frosted flatware. I really like the red marbleized design on the handles.

I bought these white anchor napkin rings at Bed, Bath, and Beyond online a few years ago. They were a distressed white and Hubby painted them white for me. I am not a fan of distressed paint on anything! The navy blue napkins came from HomeGoods I think, I have had them for a long time.

I can’t remember where I bought these white anchor place card holders. I have had them for a few years now. They were originally gray and I bought two sets and Hubby painted one set white and one set black for me.

The acrylic blue goblet on the left came from Pier 1 a few years ago. The rope design around the goblet reminds me of the rope on the anchors on the tablecloth. If you read my blog you have seen this goblet on my tablescapes before. The blue glass goblet on the right came from Ebay several years ago, you can still find them for sale there. They were made by Libbey in the 1970’s and the pattern is called Tulip in Dusky Blue.

This large navy blue anchor centerpiece came from Hobby Lobby online last summer. It was a dirty distressed beige with a tattered rope winding around it but Hubby cleaned it up and repainted it white for me last year for my turquoise and white Anchor Tablescape. You can see it here on that tablescape. He repainted it navy blue for this tablescape. Remember you can reuse tablescape items in new ways with different paint colors. The anchor is sitting on a white Rhodes drink dispenser stand from Pottery Barn to give it more height.

Definitely need to serve some kind of fish with this tablescape!
