Today I am linking to Susan at, Between Naps on the Porch. For awesome tablescape ideas and TABLESCAPE inspiration, please follow this link.
Please visit Suzanne at, Coloradolady, for lots of more vintage fun.
We had a great Christmas with two of our daughters in Florida. There is a tradition in our family that we always have quiche for breakfast Christmas morning. Our daughters follow that tradition and I am sharing our Christmas morning breakfast for my tablescape today.
We set a simple but very festive table with dishes that depict the 'Night before Christmas' poem. The Christmas dinner tablescape was also set using these dishes. My daughters has 16 of these darling plates. The juice glasses are from the 50's and with the red apples, her kitchen theme, the table had a vintage touch.
Our breakfast table...
I spy a Christmas toy on the table, do you?
The juice glasses are vintage. They are frosted with an apple design. I'm sorry I don't have a closeup, everyone wanted to EAT!
The centerpiece is the FOOD. Smile!
The Christmas tablecloth was a gift from my daughter's MIL
The plates are all different and the theme is from the poem, The Night Before Christmas.
Pattern: A CHRISTMAS STORY
Made by International China Company... Illustrated by Susan Winget.
The flatware is Affection by: Oneida silver Company.
As you can see the table is simple but very charming.
I have to add it was delicious as well.
Love, Jeanne
Good morning, my dear friend. There is an exquisite pink sunrise outside my office window.
Chris' table looks just absolutely perfect, and I love her dishes. I know there were people I love sitting around that table.

The simple things of life are the very best to me. I loved her table. The best part is it served the family in a loving way.

I've seen those plates before and wished I had a set. They are perfect for a Christmas Breakfast. I'm not surprised you didn't get too many pictures. Christmas Breakfast people are antsy! You set a lovely table. And, yes, the food IS the centerpiece.
Happy New Year.
