Tablescape Thursday


This will be my second tablescape and I thought I would do something for our family breakfast.  Since we now have snow outside I thought I would do a fall theme with a touch of winter.



I started off with a simple white tablecloth.  I love the cutout design along the edge.





Then I added a large candle and some fall leaves.



Then comes the touch of winter.



I found these cute little glasses at the thrift store.  I added coarse salt and a tealight. 
I think it looks a little bit like snow.



I added a couple of flowers between the candles.




Then came the tablesetting.  Nothing fancy.  Just some dishes I've had seen we were first married.


And my favorite teapot for breakfast.


I love syrups so these will hold three varieties of syrup - maple, cherry and saskatoon.



I added a little tealight at each place setting.


And it's coming all together.



It's a good thing my family is patient.   But the food does arrive :)





I hope you enjoyed my breakfast tablescape.  I'm participating in Tablescape Thursdays at Between Naps on the Porch.  Go check it out to see some amazing and beautiful tablescapes.

  1. I think it looks very nice. I like your idea of coarse salt in the goblet. It did look like snow.

    My boys don't know what to think when I have a tablescape but I think they appreciate deep down that mom tries to make things nice.

  12. Thank you everyone for your kind comments.

    Blondee - I do make my own syrups except for the maple. I love trying different variations on syrup recipes.
