An Easter Tablescape

March 21, 2024 by Beth Wilson in Tablescapes

This is a different version of one of the first Easter tablescapes that I ever created from five years ago although I have made some changes to it since then. I found the polyester Easter tablecloth at HomeGoods five years ago. The brand was called Hip + Hop.

I love these egg shaped salad plates, especially the raised design on them. This yellow ceramic egg plate came from HomeGoods several years ago and it was made by Magenta. I have the same plate in blue, pink, and green.

This fuchsia dinner plate is plastic and it was made by Max Studios Home. I think I found them at HomeGoods several years ago. The color is a perfect match for the fuchsia flowers on the tablecloth.

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 bought this frosted blue flatware on sale online at Wayfair several ago. It was made by Cambridge and the pattern was called Barcelona Pearlized. It is 18/0 so the fork tines are a bit sharper than I would like but I really liked the bright blue frosted color and the simple design. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I think these bright blue cotton napkins probably came from Pier 1 or HomeGoods several years ago. They are a good match for the blue flowers on the tablecloth.

These ceramic Easter Bunny standing napkin rings were designed by Johanna Parker. They came in a set of four and the bunny stand was four different colors. I love that cute bunny face! I found them on Ebay last year.

I found these bunny and egg place card holders at HomeGoods several years ago.

The yellow place cards came from Amazon.

I found these fuchsia and turquoise goblets at HomeGoods several years ago. They were labeled Le Stelle Cristal Italy. I like the etched design with the butterflies and flowers.

This centerpiece white bunny came from Pottery Barn several years ago. I found the wood eggs on Amazon last week and Hubby painted them for me. The bunny is sitting on a green drink dispenser stand from Pottery Barn that I bought many years ago.

Getting ready for an Easter celebration!

Lambs on an Easter Tablescape

March 14, 2024 by Beth Wilson in Tablescapes

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.

Time for an Easter Tablescape

April 02, 2023 by Beth Wilson in Tablescapes

I decided to repost this Easter tablescape that I did three years ago because it is a favorite of mine. I think I bought the tablecloth on Amazon and the purple place mats came from Juliska online several years ago. I bought the purple eggs on Etsy a few years ago. I really like the dark purple place mats against the green tablecloth.

I love these bunny and flowers plates. They were made by Fitz and Floyd and the pattern was called Halcyon. The pattern was produced from 2003 to 2004 and it has been discontinued although pieces are still available on the secondary market. I bought the plates a few at a time over the years on Ebay. I love the bunny’s big brown eyes and the plaid bow as well as the relief details on the flowers.

This lemon leaf charger was made by Bordallo Pinheiro but they have been discontinued. I bought them a few at a time on Ebay. This is a heavy charger. I have many plates that were produced in Portugal by Bordallo and the heavy relief details are always eye catching. To read about what you should be considering when you are buying chargers, please click here.

This flatware was called Madeline Green and I bought it at World Market several years ago. I really like the frosted design on the handles. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

This white bunnies napkin ring came from Pottery Barn a few years ago. Not sure where I bought the purple napkins, I have had them for a long time. The green napkins came from World Market online. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.

This white place card holder can be written on as well with a special pen. Can’t remember where I bought them but it was probably Williams Sonoma or Crate and Barrel. To read about the What, Where and When of place card holders, please click here.

I think that the purple goblets came from Pier 1 several years ago. I was so sad when they closed our local store, I was a good customer for many years. The green goblet was made by Noritake and is called Sweet Swirl in light green. These were made between 1985 and 2005. I bought them on Ebay a few at a time. 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 bunny cookie jar was also part of the Fitz and Floyd Halcyon dish series and it matches the plates. I put it on a white plastic stand to add a bit more height. I can’t remember where I bought it.

I bought the green glass candlesticks on Ebay a few years ago. I needed some green ones and I was really pleased when these arrived. They are well made and a great color. I am not sure how old they are or who made them, they aren’t marked.

Don’t look too close! The candles are crooked but they were the perfect color and stores were closed when I did this tablescape.

Love those bunny plates!

Easter Eggs on an Easter Tablescape

March 25, 2023 by Beth Wilson in Tablescapes

This week I was going to repeat an Easter tablescape that I did four years ago using these salad plates but then Hubby found this Easter Egg Cookie Jar at Goodwill a few months ago and I decided to do a new Easter Egg themed table setting. I found the tablecloth on Amazon last week, it is made by Cotton Craft. This tablescape is a bit different from what I usually do. Those of you who read my blog and have followed my tablescaping know that I am a bit matchy-matchy when it comes to gathering the parts of a themed tablescape together. But for this tablescape, I used three different colors on the place settings. The colors in the tablecloth dictated the colors that I chose. In this photo you can see the yellow, blue, and pink salad plates that I used and some of the flatware, napkin rings, and place card holders that match each salad plate by color. (I substituted green flatware with the yellow plate because I didn’t want to use the yellow flatware sets that I have because they aren’t frosted.)

These egg shaped salad plates have been a favorite of mine for several years. I love the raised design on them. They came from HomeGoods several years ago and they were made by Magenta. The design on the plates is a bit sharper than the photos show, these photos blur them a bit. I have two of these plates in blue, pink, green and yellow and I decided to use the yellow, blue, and pink ones on this Easter tablescape to match the tablecloth.

The blue color is actually brighter and prettier than this photo shows.

The pink color is actually brighter and prettier than this photo shows. Photographing pastel colors can be a bit of a struggle with my phone camera.

This green dinner plate was called Fun Factory and it was made by Waechtersbach. The color was called Green Apple I think. I have had them for several years and I can’t remember where I bought them.

This is a Color Spectrum charger by Mikasa, the color is Sun Yellow. I bought these chargers on Ebay a few at a time as they came up for sale over a few years because I love the quality and the colors. I have them in several colors. To read about what you should be considering when you are buying chargers please click here.

This flatware is called Madeline Green and I bought it at World Market several years ago. If you read my blog you saw it last week on my Bunnies Easter tablescape. 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 have had this frosted blue flatware set for several years. The flatware is marked D & D Inox made in Italy. I bought it at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales online during a major sale.

This pink frosted flatware set was made by Bugatti for Vietri and the pattern was Aladdin, Brilliant. I bought the set at Macys. I have several sets of frosted flatware, I really like the frosted design.

I found the ceramic Easter Egg napkin rings on Ebay last month. I matched them to the color of the salad plate on the table setting. They aren’t marked so I don’t know who made them. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.

I found the mercury Easter Egg place card holders on Mercari a few weeks ago. They are called Celebrate It, Easter Party and they were originally sold by Michaels. I matched them to the color of the salad plate on the table setting. To read about the What, Where and When of place card holders, please click here.

The pink goblet on the left is Godinger Meridian by Shannon and the color is Blush. I can’t remember where I bought them but if you google it, there are several sources. The blue goblet on the right came from HomeGoods a few months ago and it isn’t marked. 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.

Hubby brought this Easter Egg cookie jar home from Goodwill a few months ago. I wasn’t looking for one but it makes a perfect Easter tablescape centerpiece, serendipity! It had a small chip on the base but I colored it in with a marking pen so it doesn’t show. I put it on a small white plastic cake stand and added plastic grass and plastic Easter eggs around it.

I added my Green Depression Glass Circle pattern salt and pepper set on one side of the centerpiece.

And my Green Depression Glass Circle pattern cream and sugar on the other side to fill in the empty spaces.

When I think of Easter time I think of pastel colors so this tablescape seems appropriate.
