Spring Monkey Business

Seems like we are on an "animal theme" streak - last week was pink flamingo and this week is monkey. They're cute, sometimes annoying, most of the time smelly, but always adorable. Our Great-niece paired an American Atelier "Monkey" accent plate with a Fiesta(ware) "Shamrock" luncheon plate and used a "Classic Bamboo" dinner plate from Juliska as a charger plate to set this week's tablescape.

Where it came from:

Giant Leaf Place Mats - from Pier 1 years ago

Charger/Dinner Plates - "Classic Bamboo" by Juliska from out collection

Luncheon Plate and Matching Bread and Butter Plate - "Shamrock" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's and Replacements,Ltd. years ago

Flatware - "Bamboo" by Cambridge from Amazon six or seven years ago

Glassware - "Lawrence" Olive Green from Pier 1 at least twelve years ago

Gold and Green Napkins - from out collection

Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 eight or nine years ago

This week, we will be joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch:  http://betweennapsontheporch.net/

Just a Fun Flamingo Table

This week's tablescape is a break from all of the mayhem and madness going on around the world. We wanted something fun and diverting - thus pink flamingos. Nothing says entertaining and amusing like this crazy, wildly popular icon of pop culture.

This table is much more reserve and constrained than we usually set when using pink flamingo.
