When the children were all home..there was one..just one..set of dishes. The second set was for Holidays and special occasions only! Now I have my daughters doing the same thing. Breakfast dishes...I LOVE it!
I hope you can see the little rooster napkins I just bought from Gardners Cottage.
Yes, yes, I use my little coke glasses for juice..but..I mean..we're NOT having company for breakfast..and I like these little glasses! So..it's ok..right? Right?
I really do like these little cherry dishes..but..after I got them I noticed the little spaces in the bands of red and it sort of makes them look as though they are chipped. I am used to it now..but for awhile..it bothered me. Hey..cherries are cherries! I really like them. (now I want roosters! ~smile~
I am just showing this last picture because I wanted you to see that my stools are also painted with cherries. I bought the stools from Penny's and had an artist do them for me. I thought she did a wonderful job and after over five years not a single chip in them. 
Just this one last thing. Nothing to do with tablescapes really..but I just love leaving these pretty plates in my cake saver. I use them all the time because they are out and so handy. And..it's kinda pretty too. All done. ~Smiles~ (Yippee, I did it again...sorta!)
Hugs,
Mona

Mona,
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you that cherries are my favorite fruit? I have wanted some cherry dishes for the longest time and your table is just perfect! I mean really, these are just the cutest cherry dishes ever. LOVE IT! Cindy
Your cherry dishes and the stools are adorable. Breakfast dishes, lunch dishes, any excuse for dishes. I'm with you!
ReplyDeleteYour cherry dishes are wonderful...what a beautiful blog...I read a lot of it and will be back for "more"...thanks

I think that is pretty special having breakfst dishes and passing on that tradition! Great idea putting the plates in the cake saver!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute set of dishes! I love them, and your napkins.....and the bar stools. How cute it all looks together! You can you not start your day with pep in your step with that cute little scene for breakfast! Are the cherries ripe for picking in Beaumont yet? My mother in law has a cherry tree, so I'm going to see what kind of pie they make this year!
ReplyDeleteThat's is one "cherry" (cheery) tablescape! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
Hey... you learned to put links in your posts! Well shiver me timbers, girlfriend... what's next?

LOve them....they are sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Dear Monaness! I love your breakfast table and those cherry dishes! Too adorable! Now those rooster napkins could sneak over to my house! Now I just loved your last picture with the plates inside your cake server! I've never thought of that but you can make sure I'm going to do that.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to visit too! I'm doing fine. Just so tired! There's so much to do and I don't want to do it! I didn't do anything yesterday but feel quilty about it today! Oh my goodness! ;)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What a great idea for a cake saver when it's not holding cake. I have a pot pourri pie in mine.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your cherry plates, so pretty and they look so cheerful. Now the best idea I have ever seen is storing the plates in the cake saver. That is not only pretty but great storage. I have a big cake saver also, you have just given me a whole new idea and I love it. Hope you don't mind if I copy. Thanks for always showing us such a great space and design. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteOh, Mona...you do have some of the sweetest and prettiest dishes. I love these and I love your cake plate and cover. Looks WONDERFUL with plates in it.
ReplyDeleteYou must have a fabulous home!!
OH MY!!! I have never ever thought of a just for breakfast set of dishes.... I LOVE dishes and I am now going to have to be on the look out for some....
ReplyDeleteI have the china (I got a whole set at an auction for 20.00, winter set, all white set, and a set vintage set for picnic...) so you see I am loving this idea!!!
I love your blog!!
Have A Blessed Day and lots of Hugs!!!
Just A Gal...
Oh I love your plates! I think it is so awesome that you have breakfast plates! The cherries are so cheerful and great for breakfast! I use coke glasses for juice too LOL. And your stools are so cute! :) What a nice breakfast it would be in your home :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Allison
What cheery cherry dishes! What a wonderful way to start the day.

How nice having a special set of dishes just for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous use for the cake saver. I must get one of those for myself. I love the plates and again.....your table is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWe officially can not be friends now because my idea of a "fancy" table is to NOT use paper plates. LOL
LOVE the cherry plates. What a great idea to have "breakfast" plates! And the rooster napkins match so perfectly somehow. You set a VERY inviting breakfast table. How far away did you say you live...?
ReplyDeletePatricia :o)
PS: What a great idea to use the cake plate to store your dishes. It looks so beautiful and is so practical, too.
What a great idea with the cake saver! Cherry dishes are a perfect way to start the day. I think they would be a wonderful thing to to look forward to each morning. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, I am visiting from Grammy Girlfriend. Loved your blog. I like the idea of putting your pretty dishes in a cake saver.
ReplyDeleteYou are a girl after my own heart. I have always had a big thing for cherries. I love a cherry pattern on anything. Those plated and bowls are to die for. Oh, and I love the idea of the plates in the cake saver....now why didn't I ever think of that? It's great to have girlfriends! Hugs, Kathleen
ReplyDeleteWhat could be cheerier than cherry dishes?! I love your tablescape.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT, Bridget
I love how you store your plates in your cake saver. I have a cake saver that I never use for cake and I need some storage for some smaller plates I just got at the thrift store. Thanks to you, I now know where to store them. Thanks for the idea!!! And I like your cherry dishes. Breakfast plates, that is what I need.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope those are new cherry plates and you can tell me where to get them as I must have a set for myself. They are by far the best cherry plates I've seen. I adore them. So please tell me where to get them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you don't tell me you got them years ago and I won't be able to find any now.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of putting dishes in the cake plate. I think you may have started a new trend.
Hugs,
Joanne
Very sweet! And the napkins are adorable too!
ReplyDeleteHi Mona, Whew...!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to get back over here and say Hi and answer your question. Time got away from me this past week...:)
Your Red cherry dishes are so pretty! You should link this post up for "Flaunt Your Red" with Miss Nancy at "Southern Lady". It's perfect for it!
The Grape scroll topper I ordered that one from the "Touch Of Class" catalog online.
They have tons of toppers on that site. I just adore a Grape themed kitchen.
Let me know if you get it and where you put it.
Have a wonderful day my friend and thanks for your kind compliments.
You made my day!
~Melissa :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE the cherry dishes! What a sweet little breakfast table. I also like the idea of stacking them in the cake server. Very clever Miss Mona! :)
