Set the Table - Puddle Ducks

I was cleaning out various areas of the house recently and came across these ceramic ducks.

I had almost forgotten about them.  They were given to me many years ago by a favourite sister-in-law.

I was struck by how much they resembled these duck salad plates.

The plates are meant to be used in the fall, I think.  I thought they might fly for spring too.

Since it is Spring, the ducks should have nests to sit upon.

Each nest is made from a twig wreath with fern leaves and spring-like picks added.





They remind me of Beatrix Potter Puddle Ducks.






This little duck is tending her nest on top of a wooden pedestal.

Her mate stands by.

I can't decide if they are ducks or geese on the plates.  I think they could be either and they look a lot like the ceramic ducks.

The plate stack starts with a twig nest on top of a wood charger.

The nest is topped with a luncheon plate from Cambria in Celedon from Pottery Barn.

The salad plates can be found HERE.  They are on clearance now.

Crystal goblets are Waterford and the silver flatware is a vintage Community Plate named Evening Star.

The napkins are by Lenox.

Thank you for stopping by.
