A Sweater Weather Winter Tablescape
I have been trying to pull this winter themed tablescape together for a while now. I was looking for a good centerpiece but I finally gave up and just set some trees in the center of the table. (I was really hoping to find a cookie jar shaped something like a sweater but no such luck!) Sometimes you just have to settle. The sweater tablecloth is a favorite however, I found it at Spoonflower online. It could easily be used on a Christmas themed tablescape too.
After a Google search I found these melamine sweater shaped salad plates at Mercari online. I couldn’t believe it! They are perfect for this tablescape. They came in a set of four with four different designs and I used three of the designs on this table setting. I love the bright colors.
I have had this dinner plate for several years. It was made by Fun Factory and the color was called Apple Green. I think I found them at HomeGoods several years ago. I have green dinner plates in a few different shades of green and I like the bright green color on this one. You can read about what you need to think about when you are buying dinner plates here.
This is a Mikasa charger in the pattern Color Spectrum and color Royal Blue. If you read my blog, you have seen this charger in other colors as well. I bought them all a few at a time as I saw them on Ebay several years ago. I love these chargers, they are the perfect size and shape.

Such a busy tablecloth pattern but a fun one, the flatware is a bit difficult to see! This Milano Red flatware is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years but it is still for sale. Not sure where I bought it. I now have it in other colors as well. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
These red cotton napkins came from Pier 1 several years ago. They are my go-to napkins when I need a basic bright red colored napkin. I can’t remember where I found the winter cottage napkin rings a few years ago but it was probably Ebay. There are a couple of different house designs in the set. From time to time I do a search on Ebay using the terms vintage napkin rings and often interesting sets pop out.

I found these small wood sweaters on Amazon, they are actually Christmas ornaments. There were several different sweater designs in the set so I used a few different ones on this tablescape. I set them on a clear acrylic place card holder that I found on Amazon too.

The green goblet on the left came from Macy’s a few years ago. The pattern is called Qualia Glass Meridian. I like the height and the beautiful green color. Hubby likes to go to estate sales and he found the blue goblet on the right at one last year. They both are the perfect color combination for this tablescape. 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.
These forest green trees came from different stores over the past few years, Hobby Lobby and HomeGoods probably. Hubby repainted them because I wanted them all to be a darker forest green color.
I found this sweater salt and pepper set online at Servette Home. The other side has candy canes on it so I just turned them around for the photo.
It is really sweater weather right now!
