Farm Animals on A Summer Tablescape

I have been thinking about this tablescape for a long time. It finally all came together this month. Sometimes it can take a long long time to gather everything together to illustrate a particular theme. I found the black and white buffalo check tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago. It is nice heavy cotton and it is really easy to iron with a steam iron.

I looked for a long time for farm themed salad plates that I liked before I found these farm animal salad plates. I found a few on Etsy and a few on Ebay. I found four different designs, a cow, a sheep, a chicken, and a pig. The back says, “Designed Exclusively for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store by Susan Winget”.

This simple white dinner plate was made by Ralph Lauren and it was called Club Porcelain. I used the same plate on my Ants Tablescape last week. You can see that tablescape here. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago. I really like having a simple white dinner plate in my tablescaping collection. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.

I used these black chargers on my Ants Tablescape last week also. These black glass Starburst chargers are called Charge It and they were made by Jay. I bought them several years ago on Amazon. They are heavy glass and work well with many different color schemes. I use them frequently on Halloween tablescapes. You can see them on one of my Halloween Tablescapes here.

I used this black flatware set on my Ants Tablescape last week too, it just happened that way. The set is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years and it came from Overstock.com. It is still for sale online. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I bought these wonderful farm animal napkins on Etsy from ME2Designs. Meg has made several different napkin sets for me over the years and I love her work. I tell her the theme that I am working on and she sends me photos of different fabrics and I choose what I want and she makes them for me. These napkins are absolutely perfect for this tablescape. I found the Holstein cow napkin rings on Ebay a couple months ago and they were perfect because I wanted to match the Holstein cow salad plate. I think they are so cute!

These hen and baby chick napkin rings were made by Fitz and Floyd between 2006 and 2015 and the pattern was called Ricamo. I just love all the different colors on this napkin ring. I found them on Ebay a couple months ago.

I found these Lipco sheep napkin rings on Ebay a couple months ago too.

I wanted pink pig napkin rings to matche the pink pig salad plates and I found these Kemp and Beatley pig napkin rings on Ebay too a couple months ago.

I looked for quite a while before I found these black farm animal place card holders. I found them on the bonanza online shop. They were very inexpensive but unfortunately the seller just tossed them all in a box and shipped them to me and when I got them they were in pieces. Hubby actually glued them all back together and spray-painted them black for me. I set them on a white metal napkin ring that I have had for a long time.

The goblet on the left with the black bowl and clear stem was made by Classic Touch and is called V-Shaped Water Glass, Black With Clear Stem. I bought them at Houzz online a couple years ago. The twisted black stem goblet on the right was made by Luminarc. Hubby found them at Goodwill several months ago.

I saw a metal windmill at Michael’s last year and I almost bought it but I didn’t like the color or the design. I was in Michael’s this spring and they had a couple of different ones including this one and it was on sale. It was a rusty brown color but I knew Hubby could spray-paint it for me so I bought it for this tablescape. I added a pig salt and pepper set to the base to break up the black a bit that probably came from Amazon a few years ago.

I added this cute little sheep salt and pepper set to the table too, probably from Amazon as well.

I found this cow butter dish on Ebay several years ago. I think I also have it in a round design. It is labeled Buttercup for Shafford by B.S.J. 1979. I have hung onto it for years just waiting to use it! I love the expression on her face.

This tablescape makes me smile.
