Yellow Chicks on an Easter Tablescape

I have been thinking about a tablescape with a yellow chicks theme for a few years. I finally found everything I needed to complete the theme. I have done bunny themed Easter tables for a few years now, I wanted to do something different this year. I can’t remember where I bought the green and white gingham tablecloth but if you google it, you can find one easily. Green and white gingham always says Spring to me.

I bought these yellow chick plates on Ebay although a label on the back says CVS. I had been looking for plates with yellow chicks on them for a long time. I love them! (Actually I think they could be used as shallow bowls too.)

I bought these green melamine salad plates online several years ago. I can’t remember where. They were made by Baci Milano and the pattern was called Baroque & Rock. I have these in red also, I like the ruffle design on the lip and rim. I seem to use this bright green color often on my Spring and Summer tablescapes.

This bright blue salad (luncheon) plate was made by Fiesta and the color is Peacock. I bought them online, probably at Macys or Fiesta some years ago. I was just going to use a green plate but Hubby suggested adding blue because of the blue in the napkins and it worked!

The yellow color of this dinner or charger plate is so much brighter and prettier than this photo shows. It is a perfect lemon yellow. I bought them at Sur La Table some years ago. The plates were from their Fresh Squeezed Lemons collection.

This yellow flatware set was made by Villeroy and Boch. The pattern was called Play! Sunny Day. I have had it for several years and I can’t remember where I bought the set. It was only a four piece setting without a second salad fork but I bought it anyway because I really wanted a yellow flatware set.

I googled yellow chick napkin rings and these yellow chick metal napkin rings popped out from Ebay last month. Not sure who made them. I love those spindly little legs! I have had the napkins for several years, not sure where I bought them. They were made by Pfaltzgraf and the pattern was Summer Breeze. I tried several different napkins before I settled on this one. I like the addition of a bit of blue to the tablescape.

I bought these yellow chick (or duck!) place card holders several years ago when I first started tablescaping, they came from Pier 1. They have always been a favorite of mine.

The green plastic goblet on the left came from Pier 1 several years ago. If you read my blog, you have seen it before a few times on my tablescapes. The yellow goblet on the right was made by Noritake and the pattern was called Yellow Perspective. These were made between 1970 and 1983 and I found them on Ebay. This pattern came in other colors, I have them in cobalt blue and sage green also. Ebay often has this pattern for sale in various colors.

I joined a website a couple years ago that sends me a list of all the Estate Sales in my area every weekend. They send out photos of everything that is for sale. I saw this yellow vase at one of the sales last week and Hubby went and bought it for me. It is a bit brighter than this photo shows. I knew I could use it as a centerpiece on one of my Spring tablescapes this year. I had the faux daffodils already, they probably came from Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. I wanted to add some daffodils from my garden too but mine have just finished blooming so I couldn’t.

I found this yellow chick salt and pepper set on Etsy last month. No label so I don’t know who made them.

These small yellow chicks came from Hobby Lobby online last month. Sometimes I like to add a couple small items on each side of the main centerpiece on my tablescapes for more interest and to break up the empty space.

Yellow is one of my favorite colors and you will often see it on at least one of my Spring tablescapes every year!

Gold Shamrocks on a St. Patrick's Day Tablescape

This was another tablescape that started out going one direction and ended up going another way. I was planning a green and white St. Patrick’s Day tablescape until I found this tablecloth at HomeGoods a few years ago and I decided that I wanted to try to create a different tablescape around it.

I knew I wanted a gold shamrock of some kind on top of the plate stack. After googling gold shamrock, I found these four leaf clovers on Ebay and I bought the six, one at a time. They are actually gold electroplate paperweights and they were made by Gerity in 1984.

The gold shamrocks are sitting on a small Fiesta salad plate in the color Shamrock. I have had these plates for several years. I bought them at Fiesta online I think. This color has been discontinued now but you can find it online on the secondary market sometimes.

The salad plate is sitting on a Fiesta dinner plate in the color Shamrock. If you read my blog you have seen Fiesta plates in various colors and sizes on my tablescapes many times. I have had these plates for several years. I bought them at Fiesta online I think.

I bought these gold metal chargers online at Crate and Barrel a few years ago. Crate and Barrel never disappoints me, their products are well made and great quality.

This gold plated flatware set was a gift from Hubby a couple years ago. I had bought a cheap set of gold flatware several years ago. It was poor quality and the gold started flaking off. You get what you pay for! We found this set on major sale at Macys. It is made by Wallace and is called Mikasa Duchess Gold. I love the design on the handle.

I found the kelly green napkins on Amazon a few years ago and the gold Shamrock napkin rings as well. I really wanted gold shamrock napkin rings for this table, I was so happy when I saw these!

I found these gold place card holders on Amazon a few years ago. They were made by Gray Bunny. A simple gold place card holder is good to have in your tablescape collection.

The gold Poly/Carb goblet on the left was made by Le Cadeaux and the pattern is called Fleur. We found them at a gift shop on one of our trips up the California coast a couple years ago but they were really expensive so we only bought a few of them. I had been looking for that color for a long time and after we got home, I found them much cheaper online so I bought a few more. The green plastic goblet on the right came from Pier 1 several years ago. If you read my blog, you have seen this goblet before a few times.

I knew I wanted the centerpiece to be a large shamrock of some kind. I googled large shamrock and found this wood one on Etsy. I actually bought three and Hubby glued them together so it would be thicker and he made a stand for them. The shamrock came unfinished and Hubby first painted it green for me and then I decided I wanted gold instead to match the tablecloth so he repainted it gold. He is a treasure!

I found the small leprechaun figures at a gift shop a few years ago. I decided to add them to the table for a bit of whimsy.

Time for a corned beef dinner!

Rainbows on the Tablescape

When I saw this tablecloth on Amazon I remembered these striped salad plates I have and I decided to try to create a rainbow themed tablescape. This tablecloth was made by Ambesonne and I have bought several of that brand on Amazon in the past and they were all perfect. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend buying this one because there is a factory defect in it, a long crease that wouldn’t come out no matter what I tried. You can see it faintly running diagonally across the tablecloth but I decided to use it anyway because I really wanted it for this tablescape. I bought a second one hoping it would be ok but it had the same problem. Ambesonne has other rainbow themed tablecloth designs so you could get one of those instead if you want one with a rainbow theme.

I bought these melamine striped salad plates on sale at Pier 1 several summers ago. They reminded me of beach balls and I was going to use them on a beachie summer tablescape but I never got it pulled together. When I bought the tablecloth I figured these plates would either work with it or they wouldn’t and I got lucky. It took Hubby a while to find the plates because they were in with another set of plates and buried on a lower rack in the garage. I knew they were somewhere! They have some of the same colors as the tablecloth and that helps pull the two elements together.

I decided to emphasize the greens on this tablescape and we pulled my Fiesta dinner plates in the color Lemongrass to put under the striped salad plates on the plate stack. I bought them a few years ago at Macys or online on the Fiesta site, I can’t remember which. I really like Fiesta dinner plates and salad plates. They are bright colors and they are the perfect basic building blocks for a plate stack.

This charger is another one of my Color Spectrum chargers made by Mikasa, the color is Royal Blue. I bought them a few at a time on Ebay over several months. I have them in several colors. These are actually some of my favorite chargers. I love the strong solid colors and they are good quality.

I have this Ginkgo International Le Prix flatware in black and red and last fall I added yellow and this color called persimmon. I can’t remember where I bought the set online.

The lime green napkins were made by Fiesta. I think they came from Macys several years ago. I bought the rainbow napkin rings on Amazon a few years ago. I put the napkin rings and napkins on the table and I couldn’t figure out why they didn’t look right. I suddenly realized that I had the rainbows upside down, it was an easy fix!

I couldn’t find a rainbow place card holder so I decided to use my Oleg Cassini clear glass place card holders because the tablecloth colors would show through. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago when I first started tablescaping. They are heavy and solid and I really like the simple design. It’s handy to have a clear place card holder to use when you don’t have one to match your colors and theme. Whatever color or colors the tablecloth is will show through.

I found the purple goblets at HomeGoods a few years ago. I was able to get six at one store and six at another store. I am not sure who made them. I bought the green spiral glass goblets at Pier 1 several years ago. If you read my blog you have seen these green goblets several times on my tablescapes. These are both taller goblets and I like the height. I try to buy taller goblets now. They show better on my tablescapes because I have a large table.

I knew I wanted the centerpiece on this table to be some kind of rainbow image so I googled rainbow vase. I found many beautiful glass rainbow vases, all too expensive. Then I found this inexpensive one on Etsy. I bought it and decided that I would figure out what to put in it after it came. I knew I didn’t want to use flowers of any kind. I searched rainbow on Amazon and these multi-colored pipe cleaners popped out. It was the kind of unusual design that I was looking for, simple but effective, and the pipe cleaners mirror the stripes on the tablecloth and the salad plates. A bit odd but I like it!

I love rainbows and all the bright colors on this table. (My son says I need to set it again for Cinco de Mayo.)

Hearts and Roses on a Valentine’s Day Tablescape

This was going to be a black and pink Valentine’s Day tablescape. As you can see, it ended up as something very different. That is often how things go with tablescaping. I found the tablecloth on Amazon several years ago, Ambesonne Shabby Flora Tablecloth, and I loved the pink roses so I bought it. My mother loved roses and I have a soft spot for them myself although I only have a few miniature roses. My garden is mostly full of geraniums and day lilies because they are really easy to grow.

I was searching online a few years ago for a pink heart salad plate and this one popped out. It was made by Pfaltzgraff and the pattern was called Tea Rose. As soon as I saw it I decided to go a different direction with this tablescape and I dropped the black idea and added roses to the theme. I remembered the roses tablecloth so I pulled it out to use.

If you read my blog you have seen my red Cambria chargers from Pottery Barn several times. They are one of my favorite chargers to use on my tablescapes. I think Pottery Barn is discontinuing this pattern so over the past few years I have added these chargers to my tablescaping collection in a few other colors including this celadon color. It is a somewhat neutral green color that goes well with several other colors including pink. It actually is serving as a dinner plate on this tablescape.

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

I bought the green napkin rings at Pier 1 a few years ago before the stores closed. The pink magnolia napkins are by Kate Spade, I found them on Ebay a few years ago. They actually don’t match the tablecloth but the colors and pattern are so similar that they work well together.

I found the small pink heart boxes online at Oriental Trading Company a few years ago. They could be used alone to lean a place card against or they could be used to hold party favors or both. I decided to use them as a stand for my rose place card holders to add some height to them. I bought these small pink rose place card holders a few years ago on Ebay. I love searching for vintage place card holders on Ebay, I have found some great ones over the years. These were called Georgian and according to the label, they are fine bone china. The mark on the bottom stands for Marks & Rosenfeld, a US giftware distributor in the 1950's and 1960's who commissioned their own range of ceramics and gift ware.

The green acrylic goblets came from our Pier 1 store before it closed several years ago. I looked for tall pink goblets for a couple of years and suddenly World Market had these a few years ago. They sold out quickly so others must have been looking for them too.

Hubby picked up these faux pink roses at Michael’s for me. I put them in a vintage pink pottery vase. I collected vintage pottery for a few years many years ago and this vase is part of that collection.

A bit of a change from my usual red and white Valentine’s Day tablescapes but I like it.
