Tablescape Thursday ~ Just A Little Brunch

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!

I Could Live With This!

I obviously have very eclectic taste.
I could easily live with any of the following:

























I think my home must be a decorators nightmare for my home is just a hodgpodge mess of decorating styles. I wish I could just find one style I love and stick to it, but I haven't been able to do it thus far. Does anyone else have this problem or am I unique in this?

Tablescape Thursday ~ Looking Forward To Fall!

Please join Susan @ Between Naps On The Porch to view her always beautifully creative tablescape and then click on the others who have opted to join in the fun this week!

Today I set the table in the dining room for a family dinner tonight, I'm happy the Fall season will soon be upon us so I set the table with that mind.




Once again I am using some leaf-shaped doilies as placemats:




Our dinner plates and salad plates are from one of our everyday sets:




The bread plates are actually a set of dessert plates that I had picked up at TJ Maxx last year:



I'm not crazy about the bowls that came with this set, so I'm using some other bowls that I found a few summers ago in a little shop in Southampton, Long Island, NY:

(There are two of each color and design.)










The flatware and the amber crackled glasses are also from everyday sets:






The napkins were bought at the Ralph Lauren Home outlet (on sale they were packaged four @ $5.99):



The napkin rings were purchased at the Pottery Barn outlet store (on sale for ninety-seven cents apiece):




The centerpiece is a large vase that I had purchased at Bombay many years ago and I filled it with silk flowers (they're not really Fall flowers or colors but I have a weakness for Bells of Ireland):





I surrounded the vase with the trunk candles purchased at the Pottery Barn outlet (I used one of these in another of my tablescapes a few weeks ago), and I used some other items from around the house that make me think of Autumn:




I used my little owl votive holder too, just because he makes me smile!








Happy Tablescape Thursday!
Happy Fall!
