What's for Breakfast?

I love setting my table {as you can tell!!} My poor husband and kids...they can't touch {{usually}} the table when it's all set up.



What's better than strawberry shortcake and oranges in the morning?? {{wellll.....}}

Our house loves sweets and fruits. We "try" not to indulge much {{the sweet's part}}

We do go through ALOT of fruit!




You might remember my Easter Tabletop??

I thought I would reuse the burlap for this one, and tried a few different textures.

I found the pillar candlestick at the Goodwill for only 1.99 {I made it into a temporary pedestal for the shortcake by setting a dinner plate on top}.

I am excited about the ceramic container that my strawberries are in!
I've seen it at GW the last 3 times I have been there, and finally decided to grab it on my last visit {it was meant to be!}
I saw similar ones at Anthropologie the last time I visited them {a small ceramic container set you back 24.99!...this one was a rough 3.99!}



Yes that's an old Bible!!

We've had it forever. I think someone gave it to my husband. I placed it on the table because...well I wanted to and it's a part of our morning routine! Can't start the day right without reading The Word!


Close up of one end: vintage silverware/serving pieces


The other end of the table {{love my black 'H'}}


My thrown together flower arrangement in my GW soup tureen {5.99}

What's the green 'blobs' in my flowers??


Yup! Broccoli! I ran out of filler flowers and combed my fridge!


Couldn't resist!! Maci Rae right outta bed this morning....


Have a beautiful day!!
