A Birthday Tablescape — Whispers of the Heart

I have been waiting to use this centerpiece for about a year. When I saw this Birthday tablecloth on Amazon last Spring I knew it would be perfect with it. I counted up 8 or 9 birthdays this month in our extended family so this is a good time to honor them all with a Birthday tablescape! The tablecloth was made by Cackleberry Home.

Fiesta Shamrock Salad Plate

I decided to use some of the primary colors from this tablecloth for the dishes, flatware, and glassware. I love bold primary colors! Fiesta plates come in several different sizes and I am using two different Fiesta plates sizes on this tablescape. This small Fiesta plate in the color Shamrock is their smaller 7” salad plate. I can’t remember where I bought them but you can maybe find them online. This color has been discontinued.

Fiesta Red Dinner Plate

This is a Fiesta dinner plate in the color Scarlet. These are our every day dishes and I love the bright red color. You can read about what you need to think about when you are buying dinner plates here.

Mikasa Color Spectrum Royal Blue Charger

This charger was made by Mikasa and the pattern was called Color Spectrum. They came in several different colors and this color was Royal Blue, I love this shade of blue. I bought them on Ebay several years ago, a few at a time as I saw them until I had the number that I needed. I have them in several different colors.

Milano Red Ginkgo International LePrix Flatware

This flatware is Milano Red Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years but it is still for sale. I’m not sure where I bought it. I use it several times a year on tablescapes and I bought the set in other colors over the years as well. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

Cackleberry Home Birthday Napkin

I decided to match the napkins to the tablecloth for this Birthday tablescape and I went back to Amazon to buy them. I love the colors and the graphics. I found the wood cupcake napkin rings on Etsy. They were natural wood but Hubby painted them yellow and green to match the centerpiece. They came in other colors as well. I placed the napkins on the plate stack to break up the solid colors a bit.

I found the small ring boxes on Amazon, they come in a few different colors. I set them on a Oleg Cassini clear glass place card holder. I bought the place card holders at HomeGoods several years ago when I first started tablescaping. They are heavy and solid and I really like the simple design. I often use them as a stand for place card items. To read about the What, Where and When of place card holders, please click here.

I bought the green glass goblet on the left at Pier 1 several years ago. They are my favorite green goblets. I love the height, the color, and the spiral design. 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 last spring I immediately bought them. I love the color and the size of them. I don’t know who made them or what the pattern is called. 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.

I bought this wood cake puzzle toy in the 1980’s for my children to play with. I think I found it in a Lillian Vernon catalog. I always liked it and when I finally packed it away it was missing a piece of the cake and a candle but I saved it anyway. We finally pulled it out again and Hubby actually made replacement pieces and painted it. I really can’t tell where the replacement pieces are, he did a great job! I have it sitting on a Pottery Barn green drink dispenser stand that I often use to elevate centerpiece items to make them a bit taller.

Mosser Red Glass Panel Salt and Pepper Set

Those of you who read my blog and know my tablescaping style know that I often add salt and pepper sets to my table settings to add more interest and this tablescape was no exception. I decided to add a Mosser Glass red salt and pepper set to this tablescape. I bought this set online at The Vermont Country Store last year. The Mosser Glass Company was established in 1971 and it is located in Cambridge, Ohio. They sell high quality American made glassware and I love their products. I have a few sets of their goblets and a few cake stands too. If you read my blog you have seen their goblets on some of my tablescapes.

Vintage Depression Glass Green Salt and Pepper Set

I bought this Depression Glass Green salt and pepper set on Ebay several years ago. It might be the Circle pattern or the Ring pattern or just a vintage unknown set.

Happy Birthday to everyone with a February Birthday!
