How the weeks fly by......it's another Tablescape Thursday hosted by our friend Susan atI had the pleasure this week of meeting Susan and other blogging friends when the Georgia blogger ladies met for lunch......A wonderful time was had by all.....lots of laughs, lots of food and lots of pictures......we looked like the 'Menopausal Paparazzi".....
Sorry ladies, you don't all fall into that category!!
A big thanks to Susan for gathering all the bloggers and a really big thanks for our favorite new pastime
Tablescape Thursdays!!
From out of the picture book......
To my dining room table.....Breakfast with old friends and classic food.....
Snap.....Crackle.....and POP!
My favorite cookie jar of all time.....The Happy Toasterfrom Clay Art. Doesn't he have the prettiest blue eyes....
What's breakfast with friends without a fresh pot of hot tea......
Break out the "Diner China".....plate is from the Red Caboose inVestal, New York......that's Upstate.
I found a whole set of these at the Syracuse China Company tent sale.
I love diner china with names.....
75th Anniversary box of the original Rice Krispies........I've had this box for years and years....who knew it would come in handy one day!
See those adorable cherry salt and pepper shakers.....$1.00 bin at the Target.
Polka Dots and Rick Rack....I made napkins from a new white sheet I wasn't using and simply stiched on rick-rack around all the edges....
Rooster glasses......from my favorite store

ReplyDeleteI'm a Williams-Sonoma junkie too - I could spend hours there and mega-bucks too.
ReplyDeleteNice table. When will you do the "Jersey" table - white lacquer furniture, tacky dishes, pastries from Vitiello"s bakery (the one where Christopher shot the counter guy in the leg).
This is a great post. LOVE the pictures!!

ReplyDeleteWally World...that's a silly name some folks sometimes use for Wal-mart...so no...you haven't missed out on anything. Remember in that silly Vacation movie with Chevy Chase where they all go to Wally World or some such theme park.
:-) Can't remember when I first heard someone call Wal-mart that. I got a comment the other day I loved. Someone referred to Neiman Marcus as Needless Mark-up...love it! :-) Thanks for an adorable breakfast scape...I could so breakfast here every morn! Susan

ReplyDeleteLOL...that's funny that you noticed Simon on one of the blogs that i follow. That blog of hers is freaking hillarious. She comments on most all of the Bravo "reality" shows and I can always count on a good laugh when I read her posts. Hope you enjoy it as well. (Oooops, isn't not really prim and proper, like the kind of stuff WE do, but heck, there's nothing I like better than a good laugh!)
ReplyDeleteLove the cookie jar (SMILE) and the fact that you have saved that box of cereal for so many years...my hubby would have eaten it years ago. I can relate to those cute diner plates!

This is so cute, from the chubby red tea pot to the Rice Krispies box, to the diner china. Living in the land of diners, I love them especially!

Your table was so cute! I personally love Rice Crispies..so..I enjoyed your setting. That toaster cookie jar is too cute!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool!! I love it!! How weird is this...my word verification is flastsho, almost like hotflash!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! How lucky you were to participate in the lunch with the friends in your area. You have just given me a great idea, our local Canadian Tire had the cutest white soup bowls with vintage Rice Krispie and Corn Flake 'labels' on them. And they were on sale. What was I thinking to pass them by?? I will have to stop in this weekend and see if there are any left. Have a great weekend and thanks.
ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteThat table is sooo cute! I love the toaster cookie jar. And he does have lovely blue eyes.
I also really like your napkins. I make napkins all the time, but always edge them with lace. I never thought of ric-rac. Very creative.
Hope you have a wonderful weedend. :) Brenda
