BREAKFAST TABLE INSPIRATION . . . .

It all started with the Frederick Cooper lamp.  It was an estate sale

find and if I told you what I paid for it you will scream!!  It was $5.00, but

that price did not include the shade which was about $55.00.  OK, still a bargain

in my book.  I gathered a few of my blue and white pieces and then added

blue books, both old and new.

This is the first time I have used books at the breakfast table and I

really loved the change and the interest that books evoked in

this setting along with the blue and white.

As for this muffineer, I purchased it in England on one

of my buying trips when I had my store.  Guess what,

it never made it to the store for someone to purchase.

It originates from Scotland, it is registered and it is from

the late 1700's.  I adore it.  It is filled with powdered sugar.

I had no flowers to work with this weekend and thought I would

use the Algerian Ivy stems that I was trying to root.  I loved how

the green leaves interplayed with this vignette.

So simple, so interesting and such a nice change having a few

items that had been in cabinets, brought out into the open

and enjoyed. . . . . and my husband loved it too!

HAPPY MONDAY!
