Look what we've got here!!! Sunshine!!! After living in Cleveland, Ohio three times, you'd think that I'd be used to dreary skies during the winter, but I've been sorely missing our Georgia sunshine this winter. I can't remember such a grey, grey stretch.
This was a cheerful bunch of Kroger flowers and they begged to come home and replace some of these darned poinsettias that just won't give up. I have such a hard time throwing good plants out, but I'm so over them.
Here's this morning's cheerful breakfast table. Since today is MLK day, Mr. Pressed Pants slept in and my mom, who is visiting, ALWAYS sleeps in, I had time to greet them with a bright and sunny table in the breakfast room.
These exuberant plates from Target set the tone. What's better than a shot of pink and green?
The table accessories were fun, too. The s/p set and the cow creamer are both from Pierre Deux years ago. The majolica leaf dish is a good choice to hold sugar packets, both full and then empty. The French butter dish and twig spreader finish it off.
The pink napkins are from the Palm restaurant line of linens, the knot napkin ring from Old Time Pottery, and the flatware is from Cost Plus World Market. Nothing precious here but the guests!
This glass stoppered bottle and Ikea green glasses both held the oj.
Just a cozy three for homemade French toast and strawberries. (You can tell it's a holiday when I make French toast, and not use frozen.)
My soul must have needed some pink, because it sure makes me smile.
See the sunshine out there?
"Bartholomew" is enjoying it, too. Now, if this holds, there's a round of golf for me this afternoon.

My smile is a mile wide..... Those brilliant pink and white plates and the lovely bouquet from Krogers brightened my day. I love the napkins too!! I live south of Cleveland and you are right about dreary days. We did have a lovely sunlit day a couple of weeks ago, I ran out on the patio to take pictures of my winter fairy garden so I would remember how bright and pretty everything looks in the sun.
