I woke up at 5 in the morning on Sunday and I could not go back to sleep. So what do I do to make use of my time? I did a breakfast tablescape for 2.
I used a chicken tureen for my main centerpiece and added some faux orange flowers in an orange pitcher and some candles.
I started with a lace placemat, tin lace plate chargers, then a Bavarian Tirschenreuth luncheon and salad plates, topped with a Staffordshire W.H. Grindley "Sunday Morning" English transferware bread or dessert plate.
I added a cup and saucer in the same pattern.
Bavarian Tirschenreuth plates, but I cannot find the pattern name. I love the simplicity and the graceful edge.
Teacup and saucer set is included in the Staffordshire W.H. Grindley "Sunday Morning" transferware. I really like that there is pattern inside the teacup too.
I have had this duck S & P shakers for years. I don't know why I have never used it but I think the color fits the season perfectly now.
Brown tin angel wings were used as napkin rings. I love the rustic look.
I bought the crystal stemware a few months ago from an estate sale in town. I think I paid $25 for 8 of them including 8 matching smaller dessert or appetizer stems. They are so delicate.
It's still very dark outside, lol.
The candle smells so good!
My favorite find for this past Saturday is this heavy wrought iron candelabra for $5 in a rummage sale.
I love having you all come by and I enjoy reading your comments. Thank you so much!
And I thank our hostesses for these fun memes.

Very very pretty! I'm a candle light kinda girl too. Your chargers are so pretty! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, Christine. You are creative even first thing in the morning! I bet John was happy to see this (and maybe expecting breakfast, too?). I love your dishes and I think the S&P birds are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Janie
You do good work at that dark hour of the day. Love the chicken tureen and the tea cups with the sweet scene inside. xo, olive
ReplyDeleteI think that if I got up that early in the morning I would be doing as little as possible!!!! Kudos to you for digging in and doing something creative! This is beautiful, and it would be a welcome way to start the day. The salt & pepper shakers are really a great addition to the overall look!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Breakfast by candlelight!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful breakfast table..this is my kinda breakfast, elegant and by candle light. I love ALL you dishes and the chicken centerpiece and the little ones too. Great chargers! Big hugs,

I'm thinking a big fluffy omelette would be perfect for when John comes walking in for breakfast. Great tablescape; the Grindley is a charming pattern. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteThe Sunday Morning transferware is wonderful Christine. As usual you have set beautiful table.
ReplyDeleteChristine, this is lovely. I vote for a fluffy omelet. I'd love to dine at this table........Sarah
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always Christine! Love your new candelabra!
ReplyDeleteYou always have such unique pieces, Christine. I enjoyed your Sunday Morning breakfast! Blessings...
ReplyDeleteHey, when you wake up early, you might as well put that time to good use and you did just that. So, what did you fix for breakfast?
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right.. what's a girl to do? Exactly as you did, a beautiful spot to start the day. Your dishes are gorgeous and go together so well. Love the S&P's!! Did you fix some breakfast, too? xo marlis
ReplyDeleteYour table setting is really special. I love the plates with the sense on them, so sad you can't find them any more. Thanks so much for stopping by, Laura
ReplyDeleteChristine, I love your table for two! Those Sunday Morning dishes are so pretty and it's a new pattern to me. I wish I cold smell the candle.
ReplyDeleteFluffy omelet for sure ...great tablescape! I would do the same thing if I got up that early...tablescape for my family...love that! Thanks for linking up. Karin :)
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I need to start doing when I wake up early! I had to laugh because hubby would say, "What were you rattling around downstairs so early!" I love that you did a fun breakfast for two. Perfect. If I did that, then maybe he wouldn't mind my rattling!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
What a good use of your insomnia time! I love everything on the table, especially the tin lace chargers! Love that crystal too!
ReplyDeleteWell you certainly made good use of your time! I am having trouble waking up too early- blaming the time change on it!! I really love the scene on those plates! I need to not be so lazy in the morning and create something like this- especially on the weekends! Lovely table!
ReplyDeleteChristine, your breakfast table is so pretty. I love your china.

Christine, I love the way you used that EARLY morning time on Sunday to set a pretty table! And how perfect is that china for a Sunday breakfast?! It always takes me a few days to get used to the time change, too -- but fall is better than spring, when we lose a precious hour!
ReplyDeleteVery creative even first thing in the morning.! Love those gorgeous fall colours. Beautiful setting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
Hi Christine, Love your table runner and chicken and bouquet - very fallish! I really like the egg cup too. Your transferware is really nice as well. You created a very pretty tablescape!
ReplyDeleteOh, so lovely, Christine. Great tureen...you know how much I like chicken and rooster dishes!
ReplyDeleteLovely! The acorn candle and egg coddler are my favorites . Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things hop. Wishing you a happy weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Christine. What a lovely way to start the day (but I don't want to start my day at the same time you began your day!) laurie
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, your Sunday morning breakfast table looks exquisite!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing to be so creative at 5 in the morning! Lovely table setting and the "Sunday Morning" pattern is perfect.
ReplyDeleteWell that was a good use of time *winks* I agree that was a great deal on the candelabra. Did your honey love it? Vanna
