I decided to create a World Traveler table this week for Tablescape Thursday. We lived overseas for two and a half years and Husband still travels around the world on his job. We picked up many things over the years and I wanted to showcase a few.
The brown tablecloth is from Damascus, Syria. The Anubis statues were purchased in Egypt.
The globe, on the other hand, we found at an Estate Sale last November. The plates are from a garage sale as well. We bought them for our son for his first apartment. I wanted to showcase them even though they are basic.
The silverware was a hand-me-down from my Mother-in-law. All the silver pieces were purchased at garage sales, for no more than $5 or $10 each.
I hope you enjoyed the table. I may just have to invite a few people over for a meal and good conversation.

What a clever idea for a table! It's terrific!
This is quite a handsome tablescape -- it's amazing how different things look by candleglow -- isn't it?
I love the international theme. Youjust gave me another idea. I should do that someday too since we travel a lot too. Beautiful table cloth!...Christine
I love the masculine feel to this table setting! Just the thought of traveling away from these snowy shores is very appealing right now. Great theme.

I love the travel theme. It looks wonderful on your table. I love that it is things you have really traveled and purchased. That is so neat.
What a cool idea for a table theme! Sometimes coming up with a theme can be the hardest part...aside from the usual holidays!!!
Great table!
Love your tablescape. So beautiful. Come by and watch our vlog version. Have a great day. Holly:)
Very creative! & I love to travel!:)
What a neat idea to do an around the world tablescape. I really like that covered dish and those salt/pepper shakers...I keep looking for some but so far have come up empty handed! I am sure there will be some out there one of these days! The plates are really nice, are they as heavy as they look?
Love it. So very worldly! Thanks so much for sharing. -Lia-
