Saturday morning one of my best friends, Alissa, stopped over while we were gettting our lower level wall-to-wall seagreass carpet installed. I had to miss a little party some of our friends were having because I had to stay & supervise the install, so she brought over BREAKFAST!!! I've been meaning to do Tablesapes Thursday with Between Naps on the Porch for a while now & figured this was the perfect opportunity! (This one is definitely more food/ friend focused!)
Below is Alissa withher delicious goodies!!!
Now my husband's always said the way to my heart is through food. (He used to bring me beef jerky, not flowers, in college. hahaha) Anyway, the breakfast looked so pretty- being the blogger that I am- I had to make everyone wait to dig in so I could get a couple of pics. It was so simple but so perfect- fresh fruit, o.j., bagels, croissants and I toasted & loaded mine with hot ham & cheese mm mm. (I will now crave that sandwich all the time..)
The pink zinnias in the old jam jar (from my garden- yay the one thing I haven't killed!!) were already there & worked perfectly with all the bright colors in the fruit. I've been dying to use the pitcher that the o.j. is in: It's cut glass with palm trees on it that I found at a thrift shop for $4. The plates are Pottery Barn Classic white and the bowls are vintage soup bowls with a pretty green design on them from Lucketts for $4. So thanks so much to my Tikie Torch (just a nickname for Alissa)- we love you!!! 
Hope you enjoyed!! There are so many beautiful tablescapes waiting at Between Naps on the Porch, so go check it out!!

You have the sweetest friends! Look delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and everything is so healthy! Great job!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful breakfast! Such a wonderful friend!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the the use of the jam jar!
Lauren, I love your little zinnias on the table in your jar and all of that pretty fruit surronding them. White dishes are imperative. I've had one set for years that I really need to replace! They are finally looking a little worse for the wear. Nice picther, and being a Floridiot, I love palm trees! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd those cutie pies in the pics are darling, too!
Happy Tablescape Thursday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
I just noticed all the typos. I'd like to blame it on the hour. Please excuse... :-)
ReplyDeleteAh she is so sweet. What a yummy spread and the flowers look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI was just at my parents house today and remember to snatch some flowers from her garden before I left. They are now sitting in my kitchen waiting to be pictured and used in a blog post tomorrow!

L, can I adopt your friend? ;)
ReplyDeleteOn another note, seagrass flooring? Talk to me. Is it soft on the foot or is it like sisal? We are trying to pick out something for the boys room. I adore sisal but hate the feel on feet, especially for little ones. Am looking for anything that might be a good replacement. Is seagrass it?
Hope you are doing well!
Simple. Perfect. Thoughtful friends. One fine day, I'd say. (Plus, you got your seagrass, which I love, installed.) Bon appetit. -susan
ReplyDeletePretty. And how thoughtful your friend is! I'll have to get my bloggy act together so I can play tablescapes too... looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the sweet flowers! And your little angel there in the background :)
ReplyDeleteGreat friend! The fruit looks wonderful. Lovely flowers
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to join us on this weekend for the final Christmas in July Tablescape Party on Saturday (some may spill into Sunday since the 25th is Saturday. I am having a real CIJ family dinner on Sunday, but will post my table photos Friday night and Mr. Linky will be up and ready at Playing Dishes.
What a nice treat from Melissa.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you are going to post the wall to wall seagrass.
