Country Breakfast


This breakfast table was inspired by the cute cow napkin rings....


and these old dishes with cows on them...They are only labeled (fine porcelain) they have been used alot and sure don't look like fine porcelein I purchased them for 5.00 at the salvation army store last year...


You can see the cows on the large and smaller plates...I have used Royal Stafford red checked plates for the charger...


This tablescape gives me the opportunity to use some of my faux food...Don't these danish look yummy...I have a lot of danish muffins and rolls...oh and a lot of fruit...I think they dress up the table....I am always afraid the settings might look like a dish sale...lol

This one is one of my favorites.....


Strawberry anyone...


The hay is left over from the pumpkin display on Halloween, on the front porch...

We will be having breakfast after this shoot...only we are having pancakes ...and no faux fruit
...lol



I love breakfast...and yes I would love breakfast for dinner, but Mr. S will have no part of that...he will say "what do you mean...thats breakfast food"...he's a funny guy...Can you smell the coffee???


The place mats are from Pier 1, I purchased a couple of years ago...



I have really not purchased anything new for this table...yay for me...

Love this cow with the roosters on his back....









It is kind of cold this morning and this will be a real treat for us....



The jars I am using for orange juice glasses have been around for years, like mason jars only with handles...The cool faux piece of toast was a gift from my friend Jannay...




The farm animals are all just having a good time in the hay...Mr. S. is amused as he is walking by..or is he just hungry..hummmmm


The roosters are crowing for breakfast...


Have one...their not fattening...




The cow looks like he's out in the pasture...



Hope this was a fun visit for you, I always enjoy having you visit Around the House...Please leave a message and let me know what inspires you...maybe it's a great breakfast...If you are not a follower please join...If you love Easter time....I have been working on some special settings you won't want to miss..

  12. I love this 'scape! You've inspired me to bring out my rooster / hen collection to dress up my table. Sometimes we take the wonderful old things we have laying around the house for granted and don't think about incorporating them into our designs. Thank you for becoming my latest follower! I started reading some of your posts and couldn't quit. Looking forward to more to come.

  16. This is probably the cutest breakfast table I have seen yet! And I'm not at all influenced by the scrumptious looking food (which I know is fake but it still makes my mouth water)! I think I must have lived on a farm in a former life, because I find every element of your table appealing, from the hay bales to the napkin rings to the freeloading roosters! I can't stop smiling!

    I can't believe I haven't been following you! Complete oversight!

  18. Now that's a real breakfast down on the farm!!! I fear the Strongbacks (farmhands) 'round here would try to devour the faux food. Heeheehehhee!

    That's the cutest table ever sweetie. I adore all the cows, straw and all things farm.

    God bless ya and have a fantastic weekend!!!

  20. How cute! I know everyone hates a comment that starts like that, but it's true. This table is all around adorable. I love the cow plates and "matching" napkin rings.

    I am like you and enjoy breakfast for dinner. I love breakfast food, but am ususally not hungry first thing in the morning. I like to enjoy it at night instead. Like your husband, nobody in my family is interested in that idea either.

    Thanks for visitng my kitchen blog and enjoying my spring table this week!
