Time for A Football Tablescape — Whispers of the Heart

I have seen several football themed tablescapes over the past few years and I finally decided to take the plunge and do one myself. I am not a fanatical football fan but I do enjoy having a college football game on in the background in the fall while I am doing something else especially if my team UCLA ( I got my Master’s Degree there) is playing. As the saying goes, I am for UCLA, and whoever is playing USC (cross town rivalry). Sometimes I watch the Super Bowl, mainly for the commercials, although they have been a disappointment in recent years. This football field tablecloth came from Amazon a couple of years ago. Google cloth football tablecloth and something will pop out.

I found these earthenware football shaped salad plates at Target online a couple of years ago. They are marked Boston Warehouse. If you google football plate others might pop up.

I am using my Fiesta dinner plates in the color Shamrock on this tablescape. This is one of my favorite green plate colors. You can see it on one of my Easter tablescapes here and one of my Christmas tablescapes here. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.

I bought these square brown charger plates at Pier 1 several years ago, they are some kind of melamine.

This amber flatware was made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought it online at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale several years ago. I really liked this pattern and it was a really good sale so I have the same pattern in cream, wine red, and dark aqua. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I found the football print napkins on Etsy a few years ago. I created football napkin rings by using masking tape to temporarily attach a small foam football that I found on Amazon to one of my white ceramic napkin rings.

I found these football place card holders on Mercari a couple of years ago.

The green plastic goblet on the left came from Pier 1 several years ago. If you read my blog, you have seen these goblets before a few times. You can see them on my Red Barn Fall tablescape here. The brown glass goblet on the right was made by Lenox between 1966 and 1985. It was called Antique Brown. I bought them on Ebay several years ago. You can see them on one of my Fall Leaves tablescapes here. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets (including the colors I use the most) for your tablescaping collection here.

The best centerpiece for a football themed tablescape is obviously a football! Hubby bought the football and football tee on Amazon. I think it’s fun that it has our surname on it.

The two sets of football salt and peppers came from Party Swizzle online a few years ago. I like to add small salt and pepper sets that match the theme of the table to my tablescapes sometimes.
