Lambs on an Easter Tablescape

Since I started tablescaping I have created ten different Easter tablescapes. You can see them all here, (scroll down to Easter). I have done the usual Easter themes, bunnies and Easter eggs, so now I am looking for different ideas. Three years ago I did a yellow chick theme for Easter (you can see that one here). I had been pondering other ideas since then and I decided that lambs would work. I found these cute plates and then I found this cute lamb tablecloth on sale at Spoonflower online last month. If you look closely at the tablecloth you can see four leaf clovers on it so it would work for St. Patrick’s Day too as well as Spring.

I love these vintage style ceramic salad plates with their scalloped edge. I have them for a few different holidays now. These lamb salad plates are made by Mr. Christmas and this design is called Mr. Cottontail, Follow the Magic. When I am looking for a certain plate design, once I find what I want, I google the name and buy them online wherever they are the cheapest. These lamb salad plates came from Ebay and Poshmark last month.

After I bought the salad plates I was trying to decide what color the dinner plates should be. I kept noticing the large pink bow and the other pink accents on the salad plate. I have a few different pink dinner plates but they tend toward a peach color rather than a true pink. I decided to check Amazon and these LIYH pink plastic dinner plates popped out with matching salad plates. I took a gamble that the pink color was a true pink and I bought them because I knew that I could easily return them with free shipping if they didn’t work. The actual pink color is a bit brighter pink than this photo shows. I like the color and the ruffled edge and I am happy that I finally have plates that are a true pink color.

I have a pink charger that matches the dinner plate but when I put them all together with the salad plate it was too much pink and it looked too much like a baby shower so I pulled these turquoise glass chargers and they worked. I have had these turquoise blue glass charger plates for several years, I think I bought them on Amazon. They were made by Bormioli Rocco, an Italian company, and the pattern was called Inca. I have them in a few other colors as well. They are heavy glass and I really love how solid they are.

I pulled blue, turquoise and pink flatware sets to try on this tablescape but the pink set looked the best. This pink frosted flatware set was made by Bugatti for Vietri and the pattern was called Aladdin Brilliant. I bought the set at Macys several years ago. I have several sets of frosted flatware, these are 18/10 stainless, and I really like the frosted design. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I think the napkins came from Pier 1 several years ago, I love the intense turquoise color. Two years ago I did a Summer Farm Animals tablescape and I bought these lamb napkin rings to use on that tablescape. I found them on Ebay and they were made by Lipco. You can read my blog post for ideas about how to store napkin rings and place card holders here.

Here is the Farm Animals table setting from two years ago with the same lamb napkin ring. Originally the lamb had a red ribbon around its neck but Hubby repainted it for me for this tablescape.

These Kate Aspen lamb place card holders came from Ebay last month. I bought the pink place cards on Amazon a few years ago.

The turquoise acrylic goblet on the left came from Pier 1 several years ago. I have this goblet design style in several colors in acrylic and in glass and I use them often. I found the pink glass goblet at World Market a couple of years ago. Tall true pink glass goblets are difficult to find so I am happy to have these. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection here.

I had been on the lookout for a lamb centerpiece for several months. I was meeting some librarian friends at a restaurant down the freeway a bit and there was a small group of gift shops and an outdoor shopping area there as well. I got there early and as I was wandering around I suddenly saw this larger lamb. It was labeled as vintage but I am not sure that it is. They are made of some kind of clay I think. I saw the smaller lambs too but I didn’t buy them, (a mistake!) because I thought I could find a couple of smaller lambs to add to the tablescape somewhere else. I was still looking with no luck when Hubby was planning a trip south to pick up something and I decided to have him stop by and buy the smaller two matching lambs as well. I was lucky that they were still there! I added pink ribbons to them that I bought on Amazon to match the salad plates.

I like the soft colors on this tablescape, they always seem to signify Spring to me.
