Setting the Table for Sunday Breakfast
The holly bush outside provide a few branches. Photo by iPhone.
I have 3 Christmas plates in the Naif pattern but they made it feel festive.
Menu was scrambled eggs with a bit of extra sharp Cabot cheddar, toast. Coffee and orange juice. The tangerines looked beautiful but the taste was a bit disappointing.
Nothing fancy, simple but good. And the individual butter dishes from my elegant friend J in Omaha. They inspire me to entertain.
Filled with Irish Kerrygold Butter! You can’t go wrong with Irish butter.
Lovely

A warm table, Ruth, perfect for a Sunday breakfast. I, too, am a fan of Cabot sharp cheddar but I have to ask. Is that a Christmas troll doll on the right side of the tree amongst the wee bears?

Good eye John! Yes, a Christmas troll doll. Soon it will be vintage? I did not dress it up like that- it came that way. Perhaps a character out of Dickens.

The individual butter dishes + ornate flatware and festive plates definitely make the meal fancy!
