Wednesday

Brunch on the Main Deck





Please pull up a chair and have a seat!



Welcome to another Tablescape Thursday ~
Hosted by dear Susan, on her blog Between Naps on the Porch
Thank you Susan!




It's a warm, sunny morning and we're having Ham and Cheese Scrambles,
served in the yellow chickens!




Some extra strong, freshly brewed French Roast,
served in the French Press.





Some freshly squeezed orange juice.
And a fresh fruit platter, with some warm Cinnamon Toast.
A perfect start for a busy day!



Thank you for stopping by.

    Mari you really have to do a post on how you store all your beautiful dishes.

    I just want to invite myself over. Even if it is just for a snack! You make me want to present a better tablesetting.

    Mari, what a stunning tablescape! The chicken tureens are something that Dr. Gollum NEEDS, since he's a Poultry Farmer and all. I love your April Cornell napkins...but oh, these pictures make my heart speed up.
