I never thought of checks and leopard print as neutrals. That is an interesting idea. I don't think I would have ever thought of using the two patterns together, but wow, what a great combination they are! What a creative eye you have to have used them! I think it was a gift to the resulting beauty of your table that you only had the two leopard dinner and salad plates. The alternating plate stacks are fabulous! Bravo, and happy Thanksgiving!

I love seeing bloggers share ideas for others to pick up and be able to use. Your entire room looks so put together with the patterns. I also hope our Thanksgiving weather is good. And grandson #4 is already due? Time really did fly on this one.

In fact, I have a guest room that used to be my son’s decorated like an African Safari. We used to call him our “wild thing.” Especially like how you styled the centerpiece in the teapot and alternated the plates and flatware.

Wow! This is a table that would bring a LOT of joy on Thanksgiving or ANY cold winter's day! I hope Thanksgiving is NOT a cold one for you, though, and that you get the sunshine you desire. November is just TOO early for snow in my book, although we've had it a few times in recent years. Ugh! Even had to postpone Thanksgiving by 2 weeks once! Best wishes for a happy and safe Thanksgiving as you click off the moments waiting for your newest family member to make his debut into this world! You will all have something extra special to be thankful for!!!Alycia Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690591304562176674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820469895385780659.post-21118810831743115702021-11-09T09:39:41.078-05:002021-11-09T09:39:41.078-05:00Lovely Patti and I am envious of your M-C collecti...Lovely Patti and I am envious of your M-C collection. You have so many pretty and functional pieces. I have long admired animal prints of many shapes and colors, particularly leopard prints. If one looks at my closet, one would think they were on safari. LOL. Can't get rid of them and I believe they are here forever. They never go out of style.<br />Love these blog hops and the inspiration they provide.
