Tablescapes 2027

The Avon Historical Society invites the public to its eighth TABLESCAPES FUNDRAISING event showcasing 30 creative and original table settings on Friday, March 12, and Saturday, March 13, at the historic North House, 1 Nod Road, Avon, Connecticut.

The displays will be set up around the Belle Ballroom of the historic North House, a former colonial-era Inn on the Providence-Albany Turnpike, now Route 44.

This creative event, opening just in time for Spring, will feature themed table settings from local professional designers, florists, businesses, individuals, artists, and others, featuring fresh floral arrangements, centerpieces, and accessories. Attendees will find new ideas to use for their own decorating or for their holiday tables.

By popular demand, we'll also have a “Tableware Tag Sale” on both days! The tag sale will feature gently used, antique, and/or vintage dishes, platters, bowls, glassware, barware, silverware, casserole dishes, baking dishes, and baking supplies, all priced to sell, with proceeds benefiting the Avon Historical Society. Admission to TABLESCAPES includes the tag sale.

Tickets are $20 each pre-sale and at the door. Tickets can be purchased online at www.avonhistoricalsociety.org or by sending a $20 check to: Avon Historical Society, P.O. Box 448, Avon, CT 06001 by March 10th.

“This is our eighth TABLESCAPES, and we welcome new and returning local artisans, gardeners, decorators, and residents who will show off their talents with gorgeous themes and ideas. We welcome the public to view these gorgeous tables, just right for every occasion,” said Carol Bradovchak, co-chair of the event.

1st Place Winner: Ethan Allen of Canton Table #8

RETURN OF THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY

By Paige Scyocurka | www.ethanallen.com

Return of the Monarch Butterfly is a celebration of one of nature’s most magical journeys. Each year, the Monarch drifts thousands of miles to the mountain forests of Mexico, returning in spring as a symbol of renewal, resilience, and hope. Our garden tablescape blooms from this story, layered with soft petals, textures, and sun-kissed details inspired by the Monarch’s graceful homecoming. It is a place where past and present meet, where gardens awaken, and where guests are invited to pause for a springtime tea in the garden – surrounded by blossoms and gentle color, where design dreams are perpetually in bloom. So, take a seat and immerse yourself in the
wonders of the moment!

Welcome to a dining experience purposefully designed to celebrate the romantic journey of nuptials and the beauty of the natural world.

The design thoughtfully balances organic elements with elegant details, creating a dining experience that is both sophisticated and whimsical. It is a wonderful tribute to nature's artistry and the hopeful spirit of the future. It truly sets the stage for an unforgettable proposal and a meaningful “yes.”

Honorable Mention: Tracy Gerace Table #14

PP-CHUN-DAE-GIL “MAY THE COMING OF SPRING BE BLESSED WITH GREAT HAPPINESS”
By: Tracy Gerace | H.O.P.E. Partners of Farmington | www.hpof.org

"This is a traditional Korean saying, inviting good fortune with the coming of Spring. I chose to invite great happiness and fortune with the beauty of flowers and East Asian figurines. Back in the summers of the 70’s, my Mom collected these figurines. Every summer, we would go to Mansfield to visit Juanita Dorwart. She owned an antique shop that specialized in Asian Art.  She would buy these treasures and eventually had a beautiful collection. I’m honored to bring them out of their boxes and celebrate the happiness of good
fortune and Spring!"
