This time of year, it's getting alittle chilly, so I thought I would create a Romantic dinner for two in front of our fireplace. I decided on an African Tablescape. It can be fun and romantic to bring out the animal in all of us...Grrrrrrrrr......or Purrrrrrrrrrrrr....
I bought the fold up chairs from Overstock.
I love these dishes. I found them on sale at ZGallery. The animal print is so much fun! Lions and Tigers and Rhinos......Oh my!
Who doesn't like animal print? I love to wear animal print clothes.
These glasses I purchased from Horchow. I also got the flatware from Horchow.
My good friend Liz, I met her online...from Home and Gardening With Liz sent me these Animal print valances. I thought they would look good on the backs of the chairs. The pillows I found at Ross.
I believe Liz bought the valances at Touch Of Class
Isn't this monkey adorable? I found him at Pottery World
I bought the cutest monkey lamp from Pottery World about 3 years ago on sale.
Aren't these Safari girls fun? I found them at Steinmart
Darling little jungle animals I found at Overstock.
I hope you enjoy viewing this fun Tablescape as much as I had creating it! I'm linking up with Susan at Between Naps On the porch
for Tablescape Thursday.....Have fun.....
I am also linking up with Shari - Happy to Design for Seasonal Sundays. This is one of my favorite past posts. Enjoy!
Thanks Shari. This party is a great idea for showing past posts.
If you have some time to spare, check out my Falling leaves video post. It is a lovely video showing the colors of Fall.

ReplyDeleteOh my, I love this! Those plates are really great! I want a note in the box when you store them that these are for Liz!! LOL.... the fabric accents are great too! The safari chic plates are too fun! Coffe and some of those cake balls of yours served on them would be awesome! I'll be right there!!

I also saw on your banner that you're an ovarian cancer survivor. Wooohoooo!! What a wonderful blessing. One of my friends (a bridesmaid for me) is also an ovarian cancer survivor. This year will be 12 years!! And *they* thought it would never be done.
May God continue to bless you with health for years to come.

ReplyDeleteI LOOOVE your Safari table! I have done one too, I will post it at Susan's one of these days!
