Tablescape Thursday – New Breakfast Table Setting

I have been wanting to set a new tablescape for our breakfast table in the kitchen. However, my 91-year old mother gets so attached to whatever new tablescape I make in either the dining room or on the kitchen table. She insisted that the kitchen table was just fine. But it was ok to do the dining room since there was little to look at there. So, with her agreeable assistance, I laid out last week’s Tablescape Thursday setting.

For working on the the kitchen, I had to pick a time when she had gone to bed to remove and put away the old and set up the new. The new color scheme incorporates new placemats and coordinating napkins from TJ Maxx.
Their blue-green color coordinates with the wall color. (Sory about the reflecctions of the glass top onto the wall.)
I laid two placemats end-to-end across the blue-green striped table topper.

The place setting includes off-white Wedgwood "Edme" dinner plates, a napkin, Canonsburg "American Traditional" square salad plates, and Noritake "Misty Isle" cereal bowls, made in Ireland. The bowls pick up the soft color of the napkins.
The flatware is Towle Supreme Staineless "English Shell," a nice traditional pattern.
The formula of dinner plate, salad plate, and cereal bowl has worked well through out summer. Added for cool fall days are Canonsburg "American Traditional" cups and saucers, which we enjoy for hot herb teas. The matching covered sugar bowl holds Splenda and Sevita sweetners.

Tall tumblers hold filtered water, while the clear "Vendange" goblets from Cristal D'Arques serve for fruit juices.

The lid of the off-white soup tureen is tied with the cord that held the four placemats and four napkins together.

Just to add interest are a green antiqued metal candlestick 9also from TJ Maxx), a ceramic banana, and ceramic split pear salt and pepper.

When my mother got up during the night she was surprised and delighted to see the new setting.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you will visit again soon. Please leave a comment. Be sure to visit our hostess Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for more Tablescape Thursday posts.
