Welcome to my first Tablescape Tuesday, hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/. Today I am serving a simple country brunch for my lovely in-laws. The tablecloth and place mats are from the Country Living collection, the simple plates were bought at IKEA and the cute red apple teapot I bought during our trip to Michigan this summer.

Great tablescape. Love that runner. That vintage pitcher is great, and your wildflowers look better than my flowers in my garden. laurie
ReplyDeleteWarm and inviting tablescape! The tablecloth is my favorite piece! :) ~Rhonda
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia, The color of red represents energy and passion; I love the way you've used it on your tablescape with the tablecloth. The sentimental pieces in your display are what make me fall in love with it, I think every story gives life to the item. If I were having brunch with you now, I'd feel like I was meeting your Grandmama... Very sweet and striking! Welcome to Tablescape Tuesday, this week was my first experience as well. We're both newbies~ ~Au Revoir, ~CC Catherine (See you next week! I've joined your Followers as well! 8=)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, CIndy! Love the red.

Have you ever heard of such a thing?
Well I love seeing your beautiful table today just as much as I did the first time! I remember that gorgeous red & white tablecloth...thought at the time how pretty it would look in my red dining room! And I love the pretty quilted table runner that your MIL made for you! But I have to tell you...that little fruit pitcher is just the sweetest!!! What a treasure to have your honey's Grandma's pitcher...and the same with you having your Grandma's pretty yellow cups...so very sweet!!! Love your roosters too and the beautiful flowers in the white pitcher!!! It's all just perfect, my friend!!!
Well Darlin'...you know that I'm just so appreciative of the sweet mentions that you always give me on your Sunday Favorite posts...your the best Sweetie!!! I'm sure glad that we met...I count our friendship a blessing!!!
