This tablecloth with it's bright green seemed like a great way to brighten up my kitchen and to welcome spring in!
The sun was beaming in and I rushed to capture some pictures. I had already put my terrarium on the table just to be different and then I decided to set up a couple of place settings for breakfast. While Dan was getting ready for the day I scurried about to put this together! I didn't elaborate too much!
I used the Bordallo Pinheiro dishes again because I like their garden colors.
My pink Fleur-de-Lis glassware seemed like a good pairing and the ivory flatware was an easy fit with this arrangement. I kept it simple with a basic white napkin.
These white dishes have a grape vine pattern and the cabbage leaf plates look so good on top! The coffee cup has a textured vine pattern built along the handle with raspberries decorating the center of the cup. I thought these all made for a nice garden theme and a good mix with my terrarium
"Cathe" the name I've given to my garden angel is sleeping again and this bunny is up to no good! He's after the flowers!
Wake up Cathe!
Wake up Cathe!
I think one way or another I will be using bunnies in my tablescapes through Easter!
One last picture before we ate. Admittedly I'm not really this formal for breakfast but we've been so thrilled with this early warm up to spring around here that I seemed like a nice idea to welcome spring in with a garden theme! I made a batch of french toast, some sausage links (which is Dan's favorite) scrambled eggs and hash browns.
We had some O.J. and coffee.
Later on Dan worked on my dish closet making me some racks for the stemware. I'm only showing a quickie picture because I need to organize it, but I will show it again in the near future! He's going to create some coffee cup holders too so I don't have
to stack them.
My oh my how did this grow to so much!

This is the way I'd like to have breakfast every morning...both the table AND the menu! Liz, you really did a fantastic job and this terrarium. It's so pretty, and you can move it all over the house which more than triples its creative value, I like it that you even gave the angel a name! If you ever decorate with a little demon, promise me you'll name it after me! :-) GORGEOUS tablecloth! It looks just perfect with the terrarium and the dishes you chose. I would love to find some dishes with the grape relief like those. I have a soft spot for grapes. (Matches the soft spot in my head, but that's a whole other story!) Your storage space HAS grown. If you ever need to lighten it up, just call me. I'll take some of it off your hands! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery cute and lively table Liz! Love that terrarium! You are a true tablescaper..you have a dish closet..looks great.

ReplyDeleteLiz, let that poor bunny in to nibble on the flowers! Your breakfast table sings of springtime. Love the flatware. It must be wonderful to have a husband that is a carpenter!
