Tablescape Tuesday

Spring has Sprung

March 24, 2020 Joanna Shumaker

This bright and cheery table (minus the spoon askew) reminds me that even though we had snow yesterday, Spring is coming! The eggs remind of robin’s eggs which will soon hatch, and Easter eggs which is right around the corner!

Love the little touches in this tablescape of flower table scatter and butterflies on the glasses, and, of course, the daisies! They brighten the whole room!

A close up of the daisies. I love fresh flowers on a table and these are the finishing touch to this tablescape!

Another view with the sun shining in on the table. We actually do occasionally have sun around here. It’s just few and far between, so on the days we have it, I open the shades and let it pour in!

St. Patrick's Day

Love the greens in this table with the white daisies as an accent!

The plates on top are called Pastoral by Taylor, Smith and Taylor. Love the farming scenes on them!

The daisies with their green/yellow centers are the perfect compliment to the greens on the table! And they stayed fresh for so long!

Here is a bird’s eye view of the table – very simple, but very pretty!

Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day Tablescape

The roses in the center of this tablescape are finishing touch that makes this beautiful tablescape!

Here is another centerpiece I love for Valentines Day! The red candles can set a beautiful atmosphere for dinner.

Here is another look at the table with candles as a centerpiece. But I also love the roses in the napkin rings which add a nice touch.

These beautiful red posey plates were my grandmother’s and I love that I can use them in this setting! Although some of the gold edging has worn away, they still look beautiful! They came from Strawbridge & Clothier, a popular Philadelphia department store. My Philly friends will remember it!

Christmas

Christmas in January

This is my Red Christmas Truck tablescape and I love it! The plates and soup bowl go together in theme and colors. The rustic look is completed by the red truck centerpiece.

Here’s a close up of the red truck plate. It is one of my favorite Christmas scenes!

Here’s the whole place setting with the bowl and plaid napkins. The old fashioned wooden ski poles on the napkin ring add to the scene on the truck and snowman dinnerware.

Here is the whole tablescape. I love the reds on this table along with the Christmas red truck centerpiece! One of my favorite Christmas decorations!

This Christmas scene has a burgundy pattern and a church scene as the centerpiece. It is reminiscent of the days where many people went to church for a Christmas Eve service

The place setting compliments the snow theme with cute snowman on the plates and snowflakes all around. The burgundy sherbet cups compliment the colors as well

This beautiful replica of an old fashioned church was my aunt’s, passed down to me, and I love that I can use it in this tablescape!

Here’s the view of the centerpiece on the table. I can just picture this scene in a small town on a Hallmark channel movie!
