A Cherrific Summer Tablescape

I have been thinking about a cherries themed tablescape for a few years now but I finally found everything that I wanted for it more or less. The cherries tablecloth came from Spoonflower online. Their tablecloths are still too expensive but I watch for sales and sometimes I will buy one even though they cost more than I would like to spend on a tablecloth. I have a large table and I set six place settings so I need a large tablecloth. This is the third fruit themed tablescape that I have done this month. You can see the other fruit themed tables and 270+ other tablescapes that I have created over the past several years on my blog here: https://www.whispersoftheheart.com/tablescapes .

I looked for a long time for a cherry themed salad plate with no luck until I found these. I bought these Oneida Majesticware Cherries Jubilee salad plates on Ebay. They were made circa 2003 to 2005. They show a bit more wear than I would like but they were the only cherry plates that I could find that I liked. I may keep looking for another design for cherry themed salad plates.

Here’s my old faithful, a Fiesta dinner plate in the color called Scarlet. I use it often on my tablescapes and it is our every day dish set. I love the true red bold color. We bought them several years ago when we remodeled our kitchen, probably at Macy’s.

I really can’t remember where I found these bright green resin chargers last year. They are a perfect match for the green on the tablecloth.

This green flatware set was a Mother’s Day present from Hubby. I love this flatware design. It is labeled Mepra Inox and the pattern is called Fantasia in Apple Green. The color is a bit brighter than this photo shows. This flatware comes in several other colors as well and it is difficult to find flatware sets in different colors so I have my eye on a few other colors when it goes on sale again. I now have this set in apple green, black, orange, yellow, tan, and blue. I have never seen a flatware set that comes in so many different colors. We googled the name and I can’t remember where we found the best price for this set and bought it. It is available on several sites online. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I can’t remember where these red cotton napkins came from, I have had them for several years. These cherry napkin rings came from Ebay.

My daughter-in-law gave me these Kate Aspen Topiary Tree place card holders several years ago. I see them for sale online from time to time online on various sites. To read about the What, How and When of place card holders, please click here.

The green goblet on the left came from Macy’s a few years ago. The pattern was called Qualia Glass Meridian. I like the height and the beautiful green color. The red goblet on the right was labeled Cristalleria Fumo Italy. I found them at HomeGoods last year. 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.

I bought this white woven basket decorated with red cherries earlier this year and now I can’t remember where I found it. I did a google image search and it didn’t turn up either. I filled it with faux cherries that I bought on Amazon and I set it on a green drink dispenser stand that I bought at Pottery Barn several years ago to give it a bit more height.

These cherry candle holders came from HomeGoods a few months ago. I put one on each side of the centerpiece.

Time to buy some cherries!
