An Eggs-tra Special Easter Tablescape

April 16, 2025 by Beth Wilson in Tablescapes

An Easter Tablescape almost passed me by this year but I decided at the last minute to do this one. This green gingham tablecloth came from Amazon last week. I love using gingham tablecloths during the spring and summer sometimes. Just for fun I decided to do a mixture of colors on this tablescape. You can see 270+ other themed tablescapes that I have created including eleven other Easter Tablescapes here: https://www.whispersoftheheart.com/tablescapes If you are on Facebook, join my Table Settings and Tablescape Ideas Facebook group (4,000+ members) for lots of tablescaping inspiration!

I love these Easter Egg salad plates, and I especially like the raised design on them. They came from HomeGoods several years ago and they were made by Magenta. If you read my blog you have seen them before on other Easter Tablescapes that I have done.

I saw these pink plates on another blog a few years ago and I immediately checked HomeGoods (the source) for them with no luck. I had been looking for a basic pink dinner plate for a long time. I have most of the basic colors on my dinner plates but I was missing pink. I finally found them at another HomeGoods a month later. They were made in Portugal by Matceramica. I like the raised design around the rim.

I found these white plastic chargers at Michaels a few years ago. I really like the raised and perforated design on the lip of the charger and the scalloped edge.

These Park Designs metal napkin rings came from Amazon last week. When I opened the box they were not the colors that the photos showed. They were dirty pastel colors with polka dots and really ugly. I knew Hubby could paint them for me though and he did. I bought the polyester Easter napkins at HomeGoods several years ago. To read about the What, When and How of napkin rings please click here.

The green goblet on the left came from Macy’s a few years ago. The name is Qualia Glass Meridian. I like the height and the beautiful green color. It can be difficult to find yellow glass goblets that don’t have a gold tint to them so when I saw these yellow goblets on the right on Etsy a couple of years ago I immediately bought them. I love the color and the size of them. I have goblets that are a similar shape in red, blue, and purple as well. 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.

These glass Easter egg place card holders came from Poshmark a few years ago. The photos are a bit dark so the colors don’t show as well as they should. To read about the What, When and Why of place card holders, please click here.

I am using my frosted flatware in three different colors on this tablescape. This green set came from World Market several years ago and the pattern was called Madeline Green. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

This frosted pink flatware set was made by Bugatti for Vietri and the pattern was called Aladdin Brilliant. I bought the set at Macys several years ago.

This frosted blue flatware set is also made by Bugatti for Vietri and the pattern was called Aladdin Brilliant. I bought this set at Macys several years ago too.

When I saw this egg ferris wheel online at Pottery Barn Kids a few months ago I immediately bought it because I knew that it would sell out, and it did. As soon as I saw it I knew I could use it as a centerpiece and not just for Easter either! I am thinking about what else I can put in the egg spots. It will be a surprise! I bought the assorted Easter eggs on Amazon. They were ornaments but I just cut off the loops and left the bows.

I bought these small wooden painted eggs on Etsy last month.

And now on to some Spring tablescapes!

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.

2020..03.25.jpg

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.

2020..03.25a.jpg

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.

2020..03.25c.jpg

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.

2020..03.25e.jpg

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.

2020..03.25f.jpg

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.

2020..03.25k.jpg

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.

2020..03.25h.jpg

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!
