July 31, 2012 Archives - A Pumpkin And A Princess

I confess that I’m one of those people who runs out to a new store to check it out or buys the latest craft product after seeing it on their favorite blog. I guess you can say I’m highly influenced by some of my favorite bloggers, but I’ve come to find that I’m never disappointed. Last month I saw a few bloggers talk about World Market and since we don’t have one in town I immediately became interested in checking out one of their stores. So when we went to SoCal on vacation I Google mapped the nearest World Market. My poor husband, I don’t give him nearly enough credit for putting up with my requests. Luckily there was one on the way home and boy was it as amazing as I thought it would be.

So when I had the opportunity to decorate a table for a girls night inspired by their new Kingdom Animalia collection, I was thrilled! It turns out there’s a World Market 45 minutes from me..this could be dangerous for my wallet. Are you ready to see some of the amazing things I found?

I seriously wanted to bring the entire store home with me. I love how you can find unique items and at affordable prices. This is only a glimpse at all the fun new items from the Kingdom Animalia Collection. I found several napkin sets in cute patterns and colors. My favorite was the mustard yellow set but I also really liked the light brown giraffe print

Last week I invited my best friend over for a girl’s night in party. We had a blast catching up and laughing the night away. The best part is that we had the whole evening to ourselves, acting like we were 16. Oh to be young and carefree again.

For the table decor I bought items that I can use as Fall decor as well. I bought this fun cubby not knowing exactly what I was going to do with it, but I HAD to have it. Aren’t the mini cupcakes adorable in there? I also picked up a globe, set of napkins, vase, and chalkboard (that I didn’t use in my setup). The tablecover is something I used for my son’s safari birthday party, which I’ll share with you next week. ;)

Random fact, the serving platter is actually from Africa. My sister-in-law studied abroad during her junior year and brought this back for my in-laws. I borrow it quite often because I love the fun design and it’s great for parties.

I had a great time decorating my girls night party table inspired by the Kingdom Animalia Collection, but guess what? World Market is currently running an African Safari Sweepstakes where you could win a trip to Africa!
