Le petit déjeuner à deux tablescape

Bonjour! Bienvenue chez nous. C'est Lundi matin et nous mangeons dans la cuisine. 

Good morning! Welcome. It's Monday morning and we are eating in the kitchen.

 

Adding a tablecloth makes dining so much more festive and relaxed.

Don't these colors remind you of sunny Provence? Down to the cutest little abeilles on the napkin rings.

One soft boiled egg, some oatmeal with blueberries and a fresh, homemade croissant.

Interested?

 I love using our antique boiled egg warmer. Add a bit of warm water to the bottom of the

egg shaped container, light a tealight and put the warm eggs in the container.

Un petit pot des fines herbes.

The yellow bowls are some new favorites. The darling salt and peppers were my grandmother's.

Our favorite handmade coffee cups made by my sister-in-law Becky.

I love drinking orange juice out of stems!

My mother made this tablecloth as a child. I do love how primitive the cross-stitch motifs are.

Wisteria came for Breakfast tablescape

Wisteria came for breakfast. 

Her heady fragrance permeated the fresh spring air.

Her subtle colors dominated the landscape.

Sharp contrasts of black and white fought with her to be the stars, Wisteria won.

Wisteria is attracted to the soft fluttering of the birds as they fly by quickly in search of a sunny spot to rest.

Wisteria casts her shadow as if to weave a spell.

Reflective surfaces with her showy perfection allow you to drink her in.

She requires the perfect cups and glasses to drink her being.

The little vases carry her song to the tabletop.

Wisteria draped herself across the table majestically, ensnaring you into her tendrils.

Wrapped napkins bowed to her graces.

Flatware shied away from her beauty.

She appeared as a gentle breeze.

Wisteria ruled the table.

She was here for but a spell. Too quickly gone. I pray she comes again, soon. She soothes my restless soul.
