Sunday Morning Breakfast on a tray









I think I just must have the peach pastry, yummmmmm.......


Had to have a warm fire this morning, even though it is Ca. it is a little chilly....







































Cranberry Mimosa


















Sugared berries and Pineapple ....










I am all set for Mr. S. (my husband) to have our breakfast ....



















Theres nothing more wonderful than warm pastries and fresh fruit to go with the hot coffee and cranberry mimosa...yummmm















Love the fresh Oranges...




















































Of course the wonderful hot hot coffee is a must for the best breakfast...






Don't the strawberries and black berries and pineapple just look so wonderful with the kiwi....























The oranges and apple slices, really give it color...





I hope you have enjoyed the pictures of some of my faux food collection...it was fun arranging them ..



I think I am going to prepare a real breakfast for Mr. S...














The blue and white plate is Johnson Brothers and were left to me by my mom when she passed away, I love them...















I will make Mr. S some blueberry pancakes, his favorite....and some real fruit...



Thank you for spending some time AROUND THE HOUSE I hope you had fun. I love it when you visit and always appreciate your comments. Thanks Susan @ http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ for hosting Tablescape Thursday

  4. The only thing that gave me a clue was the sugar on those berries. I thought, nope...not real. I would love this breakfast, and I was thinking you were wonder woman to make it for your husband. It really was beautiful to look at.

  5. Ha! I was so dazzled by your photography that you fooled me with the faux food :) I was craving the custard pastries that I haven't eaten since I was a little girl.

  24. Do you mean to tell me that your fingers didn't even get sticky at all from that. Oh my...that was a cruel joke on yourself as I am sure those pastries would have been delicious. You sure fooled me. I could almost taste those pastries. Beautiful demonstration.

  40. Hi Phyllis,
    I just looked at the comments on my vinyl lettering blog and saw that you had a question about the window sticker.
    If you would like to order this for your car all I need to know is the approximate size the sticker will go on. For instance, if you want it on the window then just measure how tall and how wide you want it. (Like 6" wide by 6" tall). Or if you want it for the bumper then maybe 15" wide by 2-3" tall.
    I charge $7.50 plus shipping.

    Let me know if you would like me to make one up for you.

    Thanks,
    Connie

  42. I also thought this was real food. I wanted to comment that you can bring me a breakfast like this any day of the year but I will skip this thank you.I like my real fruit and pastry's...LOL

    ReplyDelete
  43. You gotta get up pretty early to fool me. Ha. I knew as soon as I saw the apples. It didn't stop me however from licking the computer screen because I haven't had my coffee or breakfast yet. You know that faux tastes as good as real when you lick the computer screen? It does.

  65. Ps.(I am replying to what you said about your cat in a comment on one of my blogs). I am glad you have Tina--I know what you mean about a cat giving comfort. There is something I find so soothing about petting a cat and about a cat's affection. My cat loves to sit behind me in the evenings and he has to put one of his paws either on me or on my book...it is hilarious. And when we have family devotions he often meows when we pray (we call him, at times, Bishop Boots). If we mention his name he will meow at us and if we talk to him he will often meow back. He seems more like a person at times--perhaps a 2 year old one!! ha!

  77. Hi! I so love blue and white dishes and I know these are very special since they were your mother's. Lovely. I looked back over some previous posts and I must compliment you on your gorgeous porch scene--I particularly liked the idea of the black and white polka dot pumpkin! New to me - I may have to try that. And then your post of your autumn mantel scape is so lovely - I like the colorful picture you put up there - I lean mine against the wall too for easy changing. Even without any decorating I must say that the mantel you had built is magnificnt - just dreamy.

    My follower thingy is not working otherwise I would join you now. When it is fixed, I'll be back to sign up as follower. When you have a moment, stop by my new blog, Beauty and Blessings...
