Welcome to my
Tuscan Sunshine Breakfast!
Well the sun was in and out (more out)
and then a small snow storm started....
but I didn't let that stop me!
I've got the orange juice poured and
the rest of the food is waiting to be served!
This morning we're having Orange Juice,
Hot Coffee, a bowl of Mixed Fruit and

"Creme' Brulee French Toast"
The Golden colored dishes are from

and the Mikasa Italian Countryside
pairs nicely with it!

It was from their Christmas collection
but I just love it and keep it around!
You might call this an aerial shot!
This lovely table runner was a gift
from my daughter who went to
Italy to see our foreign exchange student and brought this back for me from Rome.

I've been preserving it!
Thought I would bring it out and use it!
I placed an artificial candle ring
at the base of the candle holder
and added the lemons and
sunflowers to puff it up a bit.

ReplyDeleteYour table is lovely Liz. What a lovely treasure you have in the runner. It really makes the table pop. Everything looks so crisp and warm at the same time. Beautiful job, my friend.

ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful! You coordinated everything perfectly from the table linens to the chairs and the rug under your table. The juice in the glasses really brings it to life!
Have a great rest of the week!

Tuscan Sunshine Breakfast is a great name for a tablescape with those warm and delicious colors. I can't wait to try your recipe for the "Creme' Brulee French Toast". It'll even be color coordinated with the Tuscan sunshine colors.
ReplyDeleteDid you plan that? :)
Hi Liz,
ReplyDeleteI guess, this is my first time to come over from Stockholm, Sweden. Seeing the sunny day where your makes me drool.
GOrgeous settings & I love every piece of your treasures.
Happy TS...

Thank-you everybody for all your kind comments! I did not plan the food to color coordinate but you are right the french toast would!

ReplyDeleteLiz this is gorgeous and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteI'm heading to Tuscany in April so seeing your table makes me think of all the things I have to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteWonderful European flavor to your tablescape. Thank you for sharing your lovely design and for stopping by my post. The only Haviland to have his company in America was Theodore Haviland, one of the nephews, I believe. Most of it was manufactured in Limoges, France. Johann Haviland had his business is Bavaria/Germany. He's not considered as skilled as the others. And
ReplyDeleteTheodore's designs waxed hot and cold. He also had his business in France for a while. It was marketed to appeal to an American audience, and Thr Haviland's were Americans. For a long time the French really resented the Haviland family. It's an interesting history. Cherry Kay
I love the freshness of your tablescape. The table runner is beautiful and you have highlighted it nicely.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try the french toast recipe; it sounds yummy!
