A St. Patrick's Day Tablescape

I found this green shamrocks tablecloth at HomeGoods last month. It’s a bit busy but I knew I could tone it down with solid colors.

I used these shamrock plates on a tablescape five years ago but I wasn’t blogging then so I decided to try to use them again. I am not sure where I found them and they aren’t labeled. They are deep enough that they could be used for soup or stew also.

This green dinner plate was called Fun Factory and it was made by Waechtersbach, the color was Green Apple. I have had them for several years and I can’t remember where I bought them. Matching all the greens on this table setting was a bit of a challenge. I tried three other dinner plates of various green shades before I settled on this one. You can read about what you need to think about when you are buying dinner plates here.

This white charger is one of the first charger sets I bought when I started tablescaping. The pattern is Antique Beaded and I bought them at Williams Sonoma several years ago. I use this charger constantly on my table settings. If you look back through my blog at my tablescapes, you will see it often. A simple white charger is a great first purchase if you want to create more interest in your table settings.

This bright green placemat probably came from Pier 1 several years ago before our store closed. I have several of these in several different colors. This bright green color is one of my favorites.

This flatware is called Madeline Green and I bought it at World Market several years ago. If you google frosted flatware and add the color you are looking for you will find similar sets. I use this green flatware often in the Spring and the Fall. You can see it here on a Fall Pumpkin tablescape. If you read my blog you saw this flatware on last week’s Daffodil tablescape. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I realized that I didn’t have a dark green napkin so I found these last month at World Market online. I have bought several napkin sets from them over the years. The color is Eden Green I think. The green and white shamrock napkin rings came from Ebay last month. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.

I found these green shamrock Temp-tations place card holders at QVC online a year ago. To read about the What, Where and When of place card holders, please click here.

The green goblet on the left came from Macy’s two years ago. The name is Qualia Glass Meridian. I like the height and the beautiful green color. I bought the green goblet on the right at Pier 1 several years ago before our store closed. These goblets are a good match for each other. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

The centerpiece for this table went through a change. My sister-in-law was here while I was creating this tablescape and it was great to bounce ideas off of her. We had a good time, two heads are better than one! After talking with her I changed out the centerpiece for this tablescape and the other centerpiece will be on next week’s tablescape. Two years ago I googled large shamrock and I found this wood one on Etsy. I actually bought three and Hubby glued them together so they would be thicker and he made a stand for them. The shamrock came unfinished and Hubby first painted it gold for me for one tablescape and then last year I decided I wanted green to match a St. Patrick’s Day tablescape that I did so he painted it green. When you are out and about looking for tablescaping items keep in mind that you can usually paint anything a different color if necessary. I wanted a bit more height so I set it on an upside-down Circle Depression Glass small bowl.

I added a salt and pepper set of green Depression Glass in the Circle pattern to the table. I found them on Ebay several years ago.

I bought this glass shamrock at a gift shop somewhere several years ago. I decided to add it to the table setting too.

Ready for St. Patrick’s Day.
