Butterflies on a Spring Tablescape
I posted a butterfly tablescape two years ago but I decided to create a different one this spring with a few of the same items. I found this butterfly tablecloth on Amazon a couple of weeks ago. The border is a weird green pea soup color but I knew it wouldn’t show on the tablescape.
I found these small melamine blue butterfly bowls at Hobby Lobby last week. They don’t have a maker’s mark on them.
I found these large melamine butterfly chargers at HomeGoods last week. They were made by Shabby Chic. To read about what you should be considering when you are buying chargers please click here.
I found these faux boxwood placemats at Hobby Lobby last week also. I love the spring green colors.
This flatware is called Madeline Green and I bought it at World Market several years ago. If you read my blog you have seen it several times this spring on my tablescapes. I use this green flatware often in the Spring and Fall. If you google frosted flatware and add the color you are looking for you will find similar sets. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
I found these DII metal butterfly napkin rings on Amazon a few years ago. They were black and Hubby painted them green for me. I love this shade of green. The green cotton napkins came from Pier 1 several years ago. It is one of my favorite green shades, I call it Spring Green. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.
I found these metal butterflies on Ebay a couple of years ago. They are not really place card holders but they have short wires on the back that I bent into a stand for them. I knew the place card would slide in front of the antennae. There are nine different designs and I love the color combinations!

The green acrylic goblets on the left came from our Pier 1 store before it closed a few years ago. I think I bought the blue goblets on the right at Pier 1 a few years ago too. When I started tablescaping I didn’t pay attention to the height of the goblets that I was buying and I soon learned that I like them to be taller like these two. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the goblet colors that I use most often here.
I found these faux blue flowers at Hobby Lobby last week. They are in a large white pottery vase, one of a pair of identical white pottery vases that I inherited from my mother. She received them as a wedding present in 1938. I added three of the same metal butterflies that I used as place card holders to the flower arrangement.
I love watching butterflies in my garden!
