Romantic Safari dinner


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.


 
                     These placemats I found at Home Goods.
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.

  13. Oh my goodness... where do I start? I love this fun table with all the animal prints! You have some of the cutest plates and accessories to go with it too. Those safari girl plates were adorable!!

    This is just all around terrific. I love it!

    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.
