It's always a special time when my best friend, Lesesne, comes to visit! But, even though I want to spoil her, we never take the time to entertain her very well. We don't take time to cook or set pretty tables, since we just want to shop, shop, shop, and show her some of our favorite restaurants.
But, I did set a fun breakfast table one morning. Since she and her sweet husband were our tour guides for our trip to France, (my most favorite trip ever), and we share our love for all things French, I decided to use these "Bonjour" plates by HomeEssentials.
I snapped these photos in the a.m. instead of waiting for the sun to provide me with good light.
These Eiffel Tower stems were perfect for juice, or, in her case, a Diet Coke!!
And the napkins were some we bought at a market day vendor in Provence. Then I added this cobalt blue handled flatware.
I had this bouquet of sunflowers outside, so I just brought it inside. Is there a flower more French than the lovely sunflower?
The milk for our cereal was poured from this fun little bottle that I got at World Market.
This creamer is a pewter cow from Pierre Deux. I love how any drip falls into this little bowl.
And the salt and pepper came from another piece from Pierre Deux. I really miss this store.
It was a quick bite before hitting the antique shops and ADAC.
These blue lined plates and bowls are so versatile. They can look All-American, French, or English. And they go with almost any color.
We just have one thing to say........
"Come back SOON, Lesesne"

What a sweet, sweet gesture to create this pretty table in all things French for your friend! I know she must have been tickled pink! Or tickled French blue! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe dishes are 100% sublime! I LOVE those! Living in middle America, you just have to know that those cows caught my eye right away!!! A lot of people refer to Kansas City as a "cow town", and I take that as an absolute compliment rather than the insult I'm sure it's meant to be. These dishes are proof positive that cows are cool!!!
The salt & pepper....so cute!!! What a great store that must have been!
Thank you for sharing this with us all! I hope Lesesne returns soon!
Wonderful tablescape!
