Please join our hostess Susan @ Between Naps On The Porch for Tablescape Thursday, she always sets such a beautifully creative table out on her beautifully decorated porch. After viewing Susan's fine design you can then click on the names of the other participants.
My tablescape today is for brunch at the kitchen counter. I'll just be making scrambled eggs with garden vegetables added to them, buttered toast, and a tomato & cucumber salad.
Today I'll be using paper napkins and one of my everyday flatware sets. The placemats were purchased last year at Bestmor's (a Swedish shop) in Olde Mystik Village, Connecticut.
The green floral tray was also purchased at Bestmor's.
I'm using the dishes that belonged to my grandmother.
I am being joined for brunch by my four-year-old grandson, and his plastic cup is part of a child's dish set purchased from Ikea.
The butter dish was purchased at an outlet mall in a store called Kitchen Gadgets.
The coffee mug was from an Irish shop, it's part of a set that I've had for years.
The pink depression glass serving bowl belonged to my grandmother.
Okay, everything's just about ready.
It looks like my little man here is hungry!
I have plenty! Would you like to join us?
Then you can view all the other tablescapes at Between Naps On The Porch!

ReplyDeletePink and Green! My personal favorite! I would love to join you and such a darling young man for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post. The table setting is beautiful, but the time spent with your LM is even more beautiful. I know know this because I have six LM and LW, three each. Those pink plates are just great, seems like I remember my Grandmother having some like them. And by the way I'll be right over.

Hello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteThe colors are soft and pretty ... the family history of the plates and bowl makes them especially special ... your menu is perfect!
Your guest of honor is a very fine looking young gentleman ... and a very fortunate one. He has a wonderful grandmother whose heart overflows with love and kindness.
What a perfect post! Thank you for inviting us to share the beauty and warmth of your table today.
