SHARK WEEK table tops & giveaway

We are freaks for  Shark Week, obviously hence the table tops all week. As a family we have swam with sharks, sting rays and been whale watching. We kinda of like it...I didn't actually enjoy the swimming with shark all that much. I'm super fascinated with sharks but it was unnerving being in the water with them, I tapped out pretty fast. I didn't mind swimming with sting rays, they were really friendly, gigantic and oddly enough didn't feel threatening. Any whooooo.....a few years ago we started taking Shark Week to a different level with our table tops and meals...it's fun!

The bar cart got a healthy dose of shark week inspiration from Shark goblets, drink stirs and gummy candy. Most of which (all actually) was from Oriental Trading. 

The rock candy was also from Oriental Trading and I aded the gingham ribbon. 

To kick the week off I knew I wanted to use gold and bring some glam to shark week. I used one of my China patterns (Lenox - Citation Gold), shell salad dishes, kitchen papers gold confetti placemats and my Francis the 1st silver. 

Earlier the week before I spray painted some inexpensive sharks gold and added to each napkin for the final Shark Week touch. 

I have to say, my family was really sweet and complimentary. They said they really liked it. 

Another night this week we ate outside, I recently painted the table and chairs Valpar Luscious Green and threw up my Lilly Pulitizer for Target umbrella and ottomans. 

I'm trying to remember what I made for dinner - grilled carrots, mushrooms and shrimp tacos (I think). We ate outside, then rushed in to watch shark week. 

Cheers to Elderflower Lemonade.

The baskets are some of my favorites, they can go directly in the dishwasher!!! How great is that?!?!?! You can find them on Amazon (search dishwasher safe baskets), they pop right up and a set of three is like $15. 

In a pinch I threw together solid blue plates and a mix mash of Mexican Talavera and of course the bamboo flatware. There's a shark in there but you have to look close. 

I saved the most fun for last, hint Giveaway!!! 

I teamed up with a cute little Etsy shop (you know I'm an Etsy addict) named: DookaDecals. They make all kind of vinyl sticker and YES they make sharks!!! 

I found some simple white dinner plates at the dollar store and added the shark stickers (I probably wouldn't cut on top of them and definitely will hand wash). I know you might be rolling your eyes like I just lost my mind. Seriously they are cute! Eye roll away, my children liked it and the table is FUN!!!

Now the Giveaway part.

The owner of DookaDecals gave me eight GOLD shark decals and I had two blue ones left over. How shark glamorous  would gold shark plates look?? You could add them to plates, glasses, anything. All you need to do to enter is leave a comment. I'll throw in four shark goblets and drink stirs and next summer or this summer you can treat your family to a fun shark week themed dinner.  

Check out DookaDecals vinyls for sharks, deer, etc..on Etsy.
