Bees on a Summer Tablescape
Yesterday was World Bee Day so this Summer Bee tablescape is perfect timing I think. I did a Bee tablescape last year but it was bumblebees with a black and gold color theme. You can see that tablescape here. The year before that I used these dishes but the color theme was blue and yellow. You can see that tablescape here. I decided to add green to this version. I found this yellow seersucker tablecloth at Macy’s online two years ago.
I found these bee salad plates at HomeGoods three years ago. They had no label except made in china. I didn’t like the brightness of the white circle in the center so I found bee table scatter (tiny wood bees) on Amazon and scattered them on the white circle, problem solved. I love the wicker pattern and the added flowers and bee designs are just enough.
Fiesta Shamrock Dinner Plate
These dinner plates are made by Fiesta and the color is Shamrock. I bought them at Macy’s a few years ago. I love this shade of green and I have used these plates often on my tablescapes. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.
Mikasa Color Spectrum Sun Yellow Charger
This is a Color Spectrum charger by Mikasa, the color is Sun Yellow. I bought these chargers on Ebay a few at a time several years ago because I loved the quality and the color. I have them in several colors now because they are heavy and well made.
This flatware is Madeline Green flatware and I bought it at World Market several years ago. If you read my blog you have seen this flatware on four of my last seven tablescapes. It gets a lot of use this time of year. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
Pfaltzgraf Summer Breeze Napkins
I have had these napkins for several years, I am not sure where I bought them. They were made by Pfaltzgraf and the pattern was called Summer Breeze. The blue flowers on them are a perfect match for the blue flowers on the salad plates. I used these napkins on my Birdcage Tablescape a few weeks ago too. The yellow plaid design on the napkins is a good complement to the yellow stripes on the tablecloth. I found the metal daisy and bee napkin rings on Amazon last year.
Temp-tations Beehive Place Card Holders
I bought these beehive place card holders last year online at Temp-tations. They have some of the cutest dishes I have seen for different holidays. The place cards came from Amazon.
The green goblet on the left came from Macy’s last fall. The name is Qualia Glass Meridian. I like the height and the beautiful green color. It can be difficult to find yellow glass goblets that don’t have a gold tint to them so when I saw these yellow goblets on Etsy a few months ago I immediately bought them. I am not sure who made them. I love the color and the size of them. I used both of these goblets on my Spring Flowers tablescape a few weeks ago. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection here.
When I saw this beehive cookie jar and cake stand at HomeGoods a few years ago that matched the salad plates I knew I had a bee tablescape in the making. I added a tiny glass bee that I have to the centerpiece just for fun.
HomeGoods also had a matching tea pot and cream and sugar set in the same pattern. I have a matching tall pitcher as well.
HomeGoods also had the matching salt and pepper set. This dish pattern was at HomeGoods for two or three years in a row a few years ago with different pieces.
I am trying to add flowers to my garden that bees like, they need all the help that we can give them!
