A Tablescape Full of Pine Cones
I have been planning a tablescape with this theme for years, just never got around to pulling it together until now. I already had all the elements, I didn’t have to buy anything new for this one. I think I bought the tablecloth at HomeGoods, I have had it for several years. This tablescape reminds me of the mountains and the pine trees of the Eastern Sierra, the area of California where I grew up. And now that the family has a cabin in that area, the pine cone connection is even more special. They signify a touch of home for me.
After we all bought the cabin I started looking for dishes for it and I found these but I decided on some other ones with a cream background and I kept these for use at home. They have been discontinued but they were made by Andrea by Sadek. I love the pine cone raised relief design.
The dinner plate has the same pine cone design only larger.
I bought these square brown charger plates at Pier 1 several years ago, they are some kind of melamine.
This flatware is labeled SR Showroom Italy. It was made by Zaffiro and I think I bought it on sale online at Horchow. The color is called Smoky and it looks like it has been discontinued. I really liked the simple design so I bought it in other colors as well. It is 18/10 stainless and a nice heavy set. The pieces are really longer in length than normal flatware. I have mentioned this before. If you are buying flatware and it isn’t 18/10 stainless always check the fork tines to make sure they have been filed enough and aren’t too sharp. Cheaper flatware often has this problem.
I found the pine cone napkin rings on Amazon. They are called Park Design Pine Lodge iron pine cone napkin rings. I bought some for the cabin as well as some for home. The brown napkins came from Dillards a few years ago.
I think I bought these metal pine cone place card holders on Ebay because I only have eight and I usually buy in sets of twelve if I am buying from a store.
The brown goblet was made by Lenox between 1966 and 1985. It was called Antique Brown. I bought them on Ebay several years ago. The green plastic goblet came from Pier 1 several years ago. If you read my blog, you have seen these goblets before a few times.
I bought these cast iron votive candle holders online somewhere. They are really really heavy.
When I started tablescaping I bought a few lanterns in different colors because I figured they would be an easy and casual centerpiece. I think this one came from Pier 1. You can find lanterns online and in stores in all different colors and shapes. Just put a candle inside and maybe some filler if you want and you’re done!
I love this table setting with its mountain and pine cone theme. Makes me want to head for our cabin!
