A Quack-tastic Easter Tablescape
My tablescaping has gotten short shrift the past few weeks because I am working on a genealogy project for a friend. I pulled this Easter tablescape together but I ran out of time to tweak it a bit. I have come to realize that I like using tablecloths on my tablescapes that have a design on them, solid colors just look too plain to me. I am in the middle of inventorying all my tablecloths and I went looking for a baby blue one and I didn’t have one so I found this polyester one on Amazon. My phone camera has done a number on the baby blue and mauve colors on this tablescape. They are showing weird in some of the photos. You can see my 28 other Easter theme tablescapes as well as my 300+ other themed tablescapes on my blog here: https://www.whispersoftheheart.com/tablescapes
I love Mr. Christmas ceramic holiday salad plates. The vintage designs are so cute and these duckies in a basket are perfect. I Iove the blue bows and the bonnet. I bought these plates a few at a time as I saw them on Ebay.
The baby blue color on this Fiesta dinner plate is so much better than this photo shows. I think I have all the Fiesta colors now in dinner plates and I just bought this year’s new color lavender. I didn’t have any dinner plates in that color. I probably bought these baby blue plates at Everything Kitchens online because they have Fiesta sales from time to time.
This charger is actually more of a mauve color than this photo shows. They were made by Mikasa and the pattern was called Color Spectrum in Rose Blush. I bought them on Ebay several years ago.
This flatware came from Villeroy and Boch online several years ago. I had been looking for yellow flatware for a long time and I was delighted to find this set, the handles are some kind of plastic. The pattern was called Play! The spoons are tiny and the set didn’t come with a salad fork but I like the bright yellow color. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
I can’t remember where I bought these mauve napkins (yes, they are different from what this photo shows)! I couldn’t find a yellow duck napkin ring so I took a small white duck place card holder that I had and Hubby painted them yellow for me and I attached them temporarily to a white napkin ring that I had. I can’t remember where I bought the napkin rings or the place card holders.

I bought these vintage yellow duck place card holders on Ebay. They came with two different poses. They are full of crazing but I still like them. I think the crazing looks like feathers!

I used the same goblets this week that I used on last week’s tablescape. We found the blue glass goblet on the left at Michael’s a few years ago. I was looking for a light blue glass goblet and these were perfect. I found the pink glass goblet at Pottery Barn a few years ago. The pattern was called Arlo. 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 found this duckie centerpiece at HomeGoods and I knew that it would be a perfect match for the duckie salad plates.
I can’t remember where I found these small fuzzy ducks.
Happy Easter!
