Let Them Eat Strawberries

Welcome to another Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan over at Between Naps On The Porch.
Come on over and see all the beautiful tables and a vast array of dinnerware!
It's always just plain yummy!

It's HOT HOT HOT here in Northern California and I'm loving it.
Breakfast and lunch are pleasant on the side patio before the sun comes around.
Dinner is also doable, but must be fashionably late to avoid the late afternoon sun and heat.

This is all about a planned weekend breakfast for six. Waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon
and lots of fresh fruit to choose from.  The strawberries will have to be store bought,
as two of my grandkids were here this weekend and cleaned out the latest crop of
strawberries from my garden. We'll start out with Mimosas and then move on to a
fruit course, followed by traditional breakfast items.




















I've mixed in my Portmeirion "Pomona" with imported chargers, plates, flatware and napkins from Home Goods, stemware from Pier 1, candle holders from Tuesday Morning, and the little stoneware vases came from Michaels many years ago.

Thanks so much for stopping by again this week to see my tablescape, I do appreciate it!
I'll soon be back with a tablescape featuring one of the vintage tablecloths from my collection.
Please do stop by the tablecloth database I launched this week.  I'd love to have your input
on the new database, which has links to all the tablescapes previously posted here on
The Little Round Table.

  9. Candy, I can only repeat my words: an eye-candy, but that's what I expected. I love the green glass on the candleholders and the amber stemware. And the green flatware catch exactly the hue of the strawberry plates. Thats looks so good. Portmeirion Pomona ist always one of my favorties, the colors are so warm and I love the botanical look.

  23. The view from the table in your side patio is breathtaking. It seems to be really peaceful and relaxing. What a wonderful tablescape. I like how you intertwined the green theme throughout your tablescape to compliment the strawberries. The design of your green plates and the napkins are artful expressions of the strawberry stems. Of course, the strawberries are a work of art in their own right; I just love strawberries.

    All the Best,

    Requi
