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
