Another Crabby Tablescape

My mind has moved on to thinking about Fall and Winter tablescapes but I had this crazy Ambesonne Crab tablecloth and I decided to do one more tablescape for Summer before I moved on to something else. I found the tablecloth on Amazon earlier this year. I thought the crabs were red but when the tablecloth arrived, they were more orange than red. Computer monitors often show colors inaccurately. I had to make some changes to my original design. I put together another Crab Tablescape last year and another one the year before that but this one is a bit different. As often happens with my tablescapes, the design changed in mid-stream. I had collected six large white crab bowls to use on this tablescape but I couldn’t pull the look I wanted together so they will return next summer on a different tablescape.

There is no salad plate on this tablescape. This dinner plate was a Rachael Ray design, the pattern was called Rise. I bought them online somewhere but I can’t remember where. I like the true orange color and the white rim. I have had them for a few years now.

This charger is another one of my Color Spectrum chargers made by Mikasa, the color is Royal Blue. I bought them a few at a time on Ebay over several months. I have them in several colors. These are actually some of my favorite chargers. I love the strong solid colors and they are good quality.

This bright orange placemat probably came from Pier 1 several years ago. I have it in several different colors. I finally took an inventory of all my placemats so I now know what I have.

This flatware was made by Ginkgo International, the pattern is Le Prix, and the color is Persimmon. I bought the set last Fall online at the Silver Super Store although I see that Amazon has it too. I had been looking for an orange flatware set to use on Halloween tablescapes for a long time and I finally found this set.

I bought the napkins at Macys online earlier this year. I found the wood crab napkin rings on Etsy last year. They were red but Hubby painted them white for me for this tablescape.

I love these crab place card holders, I found them at Pottery Barn a couple years ago but they were red. Hubby spray painted them for me so they would be more of an orange red tone.

I bought the coral acrylic goblet on the left last year at Pottery Barn. The blue acrylic one on the right came from Pier 1 a few years ago. Dollar stores often have this goblet in different colors.

This red crab salt and pepper set is such a great match for the tablecloth that I decided to add them to the table even though they are red instead or orange. I bought them on Amazon.

Several years ago I bought three small crab bowls at a garage sale. I used them in a ocean tablescape a few years ago with other ocean elements. In Virginia for Christmas a few years ago we were at an antique mall and I found six more of an almost similar design and one larger one on sale. I love the claws and the tiny face. The bottom is marked PV and Made in Czechoslovakia. The metal crab it is sitting on came from Pier 1 a few years ago. They are sitting on a white candle stand. I can’t remember where I bought it, I have had it for several years.

I enjoy creating a tablescape that I have done before with different elements. To see last year’s Crabby tablescape please click here. To see the one from the year before when I had just started tablescaping and blogging about it please click here.
