A Spring Sprinkled Tablescape

I created a tablescape with a watering can centerpiece five years ago but I decided to tweak it a bit and do another one this week. It seems so whimsical to water a garden with a watering can but of course it is very impractical as well if you have lots of space to cover. I bought this heavy cotton green and white gingham tablecloth several years ago on Amazon. You can see the other watering can tablescape that I did together with 300+ other tablescapes of mine on my blog here: https://www.whispersoftheheart.com/tablescapes

I have always loved Mary Engelbreit designs and when I saw this small stoneware appetizer plate on Ebay that she designed in 1994, I decided to use it on this watering can themed tablescape. I love the small watering can and the red and white design around the rim. The plate was made by Sakura and it is marked Garden Time, At Home with Mary Engelbreit.

One of the color combinations that I seem to return to over and over on my tablescapes is red and green not only at Christmas time but at other times of the year as well. I just like the way these colors look together. This Fiesta salad plate in the color Scarlet is part of our every day dish set. I bought them at Macys when we remodeled our kitchen several years ago.

I am using another Fiesta plate on this table, a dinner plate in the color Shamrock (a color that has been discontinued). This is my favorite green dinner plate and I use it often. They probably came from Everything Kitchens online because they have sales on Fiesta dishes from time to time. You can read about what you need to think about when you are buying dinner plates here.

I have a huge collection of these placemats in many different colors that I bought when I first started tablescaping. I bought them years ago at our Pottery Barn store, I wish it was still there. I was going to add a charger to this plate stack but then the stack was going to be too tall so I decided to use a placemat instead.

Seems like every time I use this frosted green flatware set I get questions and comments about it. The pattern is called Madeline Green and I bought the set at World Market several years ago. If you google frosted flatware and add the color you are looking for you might find similar sets. I use this green flatware often during Spring and Fall. You can see it here on a Fall Pumpkin tablescape. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I had someone on Etsy make these napkins for me several years ago, she made several sets for me. I told her what I wanted on the napkins and she searched for different fabrics for me to choose from. I really wanted green watering cans and she found gardening fabric with them. The watering can napkin rings came from Michael’s a few years ago. They were a tin color and Hubby painted them green for me. To read about the What, Where, and How of napkin rings please click here.

I saw these small plastic watering can party favors on Etsy a few years ago and I knew I could use them as place card holders. They were baby blue but Hubby painted them green for me. To read about the what, where, and how of place card holders, please click here.

The green goblet on the left came from Macy’s a few years ago. They are called Qualia Glass Meridian. I like the height and the beautiful green color. I can’t remember where I bought the Cristalleria Fratelli Fumo red glass goblets on the right but I love using them with these green goblets because of their similar shape. 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 saw this large green metal watering can on another blog a few years ago and I knew that I had to have it. I have used it as a centerpiece on a couple of other tablescapes that I have created over the years. It was made by MacKenzie-Childs and I bought it on their web site. Someone on another blog mentioned how lifelike these red poppy faux flowers were and I bought them on Amazon to match the red flowers on the napkins.

I love this butterfly!

I decided to add a Mosser Glass red salt and pepper set to this tablescape. I bought this set online at The Vermont Country Store a couple of years ago. The Mosser Glass Company was established in 1971 and it is located in Cambridge, Ohio. They sell high quality American made glassware and I love their products. I have a few sets of their goblets and a few cake stands too.

I bought this Mosser Glass Panel Hunter Green salt and pepper set online at Everything Kitchens a few years ago.

Time to get out into the Garden!
