Jungle Tablescape

What a crazy week: severe deadly snow storms, Ted in and out of Cancun, COVID-19 deaths at half a million, Donald's taxes fair game for New York to investigate, the pillow guy gets sued, some nutcase on the FOX network disparages and ridicules the First Dog [surely there is more "pressing" news out there, FOX], and the list goes on....So Pat felt we needed a fun table - one that makes you not only feel good to look at but to use "someday." 

The great accent plates are "Jungle" by Sakura

Flatware is "Bamboo" by Cambridge

Of course, Pat has to use Fiesta(ware) because there are so many colors available - this one is "Chocolate" - first introduced in 2008 and discontinued in 2012.

The charger is  a "Meadow" Fiesta(ware) chop plate introduced last year and still available

These glasses are so fun - from Pier 1 years ago

I didn't think that we would ever find a use these napkin rings (from Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago) but they are perfect for this table

The centerpiece is simple greenery and rust colored candles

One last look from the other end of the table
