Sunday Brunch: A Farmhouse Breakfast

The boys are back in town and boy, did they bring their appetites. During the holiday, I wanted to make them Eggs Benedict with Steak but never seemed to have the right time. This Sunday after church, I am making them a special brunch so when they leave, they will not only be filled physically but quality time with the family and church will leave them filled spiritually.
 
 

But such a brunch requires some extra prep work ahead of time. Because it is winter and sort of dreary, I decided to set a fresh farm table for brunch. 

I found this table runner at Home Goods and thought how pretty would it be in my kitchen with my aqua and cream dishes? 






I love the aqua and cream colors, especially in the winter. 

 

 And it matches my kitchen perfectly. I found this Star of Bethlehem plant, sadly I forgot to plant paperwhites but this plant is so pretty, it makes me forget about the paper whites. Also my big rooster is one of three, he has sat in my bay window for more than ten years. I know he is glad to be at brunch.

I know last week, I poo pooed layering plates but this week, I can't help myself. Look at the little roosters on this plate.

 

And the new flatware is just Gorgeous... I love it.

The boys will not be impressed but I think my daughter will be. 

She helped me pick out the flatware, another Home Goods find.. That store is amazing.

 

 The glass rooster is ready for the butter.

And coffee mugs for the coffee drinkers. My juice glasses are twenty years old but we still love them, especially for breakfast. I use them for everything, jams, dressing, etc. They have lids so you can cover any item.

Sugar and creamer all ready for the morning.

Which brings me to the favorite item on this table, the napkin rings are Arthur Court and fairly old. 

 

They are the perfect compliment to breakfast... who doesn't love a pig for a napkin ring.

Or a bunny?

or a duck?

or a chicken?

I hope you enjoy my Sunday Brunch table. It is a special feeling to serve your family a wonderful meal on a pretty table.
