So let me begin by saying, I do think this challenge was a bit more difficult for me this time.
Why?
Because I planned it.
Because I planned it.
I do much better when things just spontaneously pop in my head.
I will tell you..this is NOT an exact..However, it is the same premise, all the same elements and all the same accessories.
I had to have a pop more color! because that's just ME!
Had to add a little vintage to mine as well....
I scored these beautiful napkins from an antique mall in Orchard Park, NY.
I believe they were $1.00 a piece.
Silverware and chargers purchased last year at World Market.
Dishes purchased several years back at Marshalls.
Dishes purchased several years back at Marshalls.
These are faux limes and lemons...
I had absolutely everything on hand I needed.
I told you mine is a little more colorful....
that's not all folks...
hold on...
This was my inspiration....
As I mentioned...every element on the table is replicated on my table...
with my own twist!
Hot dang! That was fun...
Now let's see what you copied!
Have fun visiting some of the other participants. All of you put a lot of thought, and effort into this challenge and I do not want anyone to go unnoticed.
I Plan on making this a monthly meme, so no worries, hop in next time!

No, I haven't been sitting here all day waiting. I just got done sweeping the garage, windexing the glass tables, sprucing up the house for the MIL. But, a girl needs a break every now and then.
What a fab-u-l-ous table you do set my friend. You know how I feel about all the color. Great job and I like your's better by the way. Maybe, cause I know the company around is going to have a totally awesome time.
Thanks again for doing this again. You have kept my mind very very actively thinking creatively with this one.
Now, back to the chores...yuck... but I will be back to check and see what everyone else has been putting together. Fun, fun, fun.
You sure took on a hard image to copycat. I have read some peoples posts who are playing and the did great but I haven't seen them linked up yet. You did a great job.
I like yours a lot better! I love the red of your lantern. I agree with Donnie, you took on a major copy cat and did a fabulous job!
Love it Debbie.. very nice job. Cant wait to see what everyone's Copy Cat's!
BTW.. I dont know if its your blog or me.. but I keep getting a message popping up at the top of the page each time I open your blog. It says to view this page, I must log into a protected area.. then lists the site. Weird. Anyway.. thought I'd let ya know.
I love your copy cat version, Debbie--so inviting and colorful!
My opinion...yours looks so much more colorful and more inviting,wait a minute you said faux lemons and limes,dawg gone they look real and your choice of flower so much more pleasing.
Your copy cat is the cat's meow!
And your photo's are so fabulous.Love these bright colors...you go gurl!

OHMYGOSH...Debbie Doos...this is AMAZING. You did a great job and that table is awesome.
Dang, this is so much fun. I always have a blast when getting all ready for your monthly meme. Thanks so much for doing this.

It looks fabulous, Debbie! I love your extra punch of color.
I think I fixed that pop up that keeps coming up for you gals. I thought it was my template and I fiddled all day with that. I think in the meantime the wrong box was checked for commenting options. Hopefully that worked. Thanks girls for joining in, and even the ones sho did not, enjoy the rest of the copy cats!
Debbie, You know I love this party. I listed the old one from August, but I am furiously working on a new one! I must say this is so much fun. I would love to be dining at your beautiful copy cat table! You inspire me! Please don't stop these parties!
Debbie

You did really good, Debbie. I
think I like your version better...Christine
Great job, Debbie. I love the idea of the "copy cat challenge". Can't play along this time, but will join in next round. ~ Sarah
I like yours better with the color, Debbie. Afraid I am not joining this time. I haven't even looked at my mags lately plus my party is tonight. I like looking at others' ideas though.
O'Debbie that looks awesome! I love all the color...so playful. Thumbs up on your copy cat challenge.
Thanks for hosting such a fun party.

Yours looks awesome Debbie! I am so enjoying looking at what everyone is copying. This is the most fun party eva!!!!
Thanks for having me Debbie! I just posted about a recipe I copied. Can't wait to see what others have copied!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
I do believe I like yours better than the original:)
Debbiedoo, I do believe you've done it and out done the magazine! It is absolutely georgous!! Well done!
Super job! I love it & think it looks better than the original. The color really makes it stand out.
Beautiful! I love your more colorful version! So very fun, and so very you!
I was so excited when you announced the date for the copycat party, and even picked a magazine page to copy. But then the flood hit, and I've been knee-deep in poop ever since. OK not literally, but there was raw sewage in the river, and I definitely had to hose off my boots at the end of the last few days. Hopefully I'll be able to join the next one.
Until then, I'll enjoy all the terrific copycats everyone else is sharing. Thanks for sharing your fun tablescape and for hosting this terrific party.
I love it when you do this!!!! Yours looks terrific. I can't wait to visit the others. Darn I wish I would have stopped by earlier I would have liked to be in on this one. OH by the way your blog button isn't showing up anymore. I couldn't find a new one.Help I need to get you back on my blog love page. Hugs!
Your fireplace and patio area is just wonderful and I totally love your table copy. I like the color of your plates and of course watermelon is fabulous. Thanks for such a fun party. Hugs, Marty

Thanks for hosting this party Debbie...I've been looking forward to it. Love you table...it is indeed more colorful AND cuter than the magazine's photo.
How cool is that! If my week wasn't so crazy, I would love to participate. What fun!:-)
You took on a domplicate picture to copycat and yours is better than what you copied! You planned on that, didn't you now? ;) Love all the color and details!
Mine, it was simple.
You really got this down!! It really forces you to look at a picture and learn more about placing objects. Count me in next month!
XO,
Jane
Your copycat table is so lovely Debbie! I love the cutlery:) I think of you every time I go into World Market...it's just soooo Debbiedoo's in there.

I love the inspiration table, but your pops of color add the jazz that brings it up a notch or ten. I really love the bold flowers on the plates.
