"Out of Africa" Table for One

Obviously, by now, you have heard that Pier One plans closure of all 540 stores around the country. I am really struggling with this one. I have been shopping at Pier 1 all of my life. Back in the day, I got my first beanbag chair there (or, rather, my parents got me my first beanbag chair), and I loved it. 

I had a bohemian spirit even in my youth, and while my parents may not have had similar spirits, they did nothing to deter mine. I can still remember my mother and I painting my bedroom red, white, and blue, to go with my new campaign furniture, and stringing the white walls with floor to ceiling-length strands of alternating red and blue beads. Truthfully, along with the dark blue shag carpet, it was quite a stunner.

As I got older, I bought many of my dishes there, in fact, up until just before the virus hit, I still did. The last purchase I made from them, which will undoubtedly be my last purchase from them was nearly everything that you see in this place setting because I cannot resist buying tableware. Thank you, Pier One, for always being great providers of my “fix.” I will miss you, after all, we grew up together.
