I will be joining Between Naps On The Porch, with our gracious hostess, Susan, for another Tablescape Thursday, my favorite meme. Please stop by her place so you can enjoy many more tables that all the participants have worked so hard to bring you their eye candy!
Thank you, to all who stop to visit and take the time to comment each week, it is very much appreciated. I do try to respond to each one.
To enlarge any of the pictures, just click on them.
I love a good hearty breakfast, so I decided to do my Mother's Day breakfast table for two.
The plates and flat saucers are Royal Sebring, Ohio Blue Willow that came out in 1948. The cups and little bowls just have "Made in England" on the bottoms. All of the Blue Willow was found at different thrift stores in the area. The orange plates are Waechtersbach Germany Orange Peel that I found a few years ago at TJMaxx.
The bright orange glassware came from e-Bay, sure wish I knew who the maker and what the pattern is so I could look for a couple more pieces, as I only have these two. I really like them, they are so bright and cheery.
I know that candles aren't used for breakfast but I thought the little crystal birds were cute so I added them to the table. They take small candles and the only ones I have that are the right size are either green or red, so I chose the green.
The beautiful flowers were from my husband's daughter, Stasha...they are perfect for my peach colored dining room. Thank you, Stasha!
Napkins and tablecloth are both from thrift stores, where else?
See you all next week...please, do stop by BNOTP to check out the other participants of Tablescape Thursday.

It is rare that I know any dishes but I do know Blue Willow. Once again, you have dazzled me. Love, Brenda
The table is so cheerful and inviting. What a great way to start the day.
What a nice breakfast table for you and Mr ITMON! :)
I love those birdies, so cute!
I never thought to use the BW with orange..but then I don't have much orange except for Halloween.
I am more a PINK person, LOL
How unusual and amazing. Just poking around your blog over from Cuisine Kathleen, lots of pretty things here. And love your blog background.
I've always loved Blue Willow and like the way you've mixed it with the red. Nice table for two! ~ sarah
Love the Blue Willow - great table setting. Flowers are gorgeous! I'l surprised you were able to find the bright orange glasses..something I have never ran across.
First of all I hope that you and your family are safe and hopefully not affected by those horrible tornadoes. DFW might be getting bad weather next week...
One good thing about moving to Palm Desert is that there is no tornadoe season there... but it does sit on top of a rather big fault. No real warnings for earthquakes!
That was so sweet of your son in law to give you those beautiful flowers. They turned out to be a wonderful inspiration for your colorful tablescape. Great use of those complimentary colors!
Talk to you soon ;)

p.s. I left a comment on your last (?) post to say thinks for the gift!
Those cute bird candlesticks belong anywhere you put them! Love the contrast in colors!
Hi Mimi, I stopped by to thank you for your sweet comment and get well wishes. I ended up back in the ER last night and so I have been ordered to rest and that leaves me with plenty of time to read everyones great posts.
I have brown glasses just like your orange ones. I will look it up and get back to you. I love all your recent table settings. I absolutely love old glass and dishes too, you have inspired me to do a table top in the future.
Thanks for sharing.
Your table looks gorgeous, Mimi, and those flowers are just so pretty and so colorful!
I am not usually an Orange lover but those plates and glasses are Fabulous.
By the way, I went to my local Goodwill this weekend looking for treasures and found nothing. That's prob.ably a good thing because I don't really have the room or the need.
Very pretty table and I love the flowers.

What a pretty colorful tablescape. I've never seen orange glasses like yours -- what a great find! Your flowers are so pretty.
Mimi, great job on your table! I love the punches of color and how you echoed the orange in your glasses, your dishes, the flowers, and the linens! It just ties together perfectly! And that was sweet of Stasha to send you those pretty flowers to enjoy. :-)
Happy Tablescape Thursday!

WOW - the orange really makes your Blue Willow POP! I would have never thought they would look that great together. What a colorful and cheery table to greet the breakfast crowd!
Mimi, I love the contrasting red and blue. Your blue willow is so pretty! I posted an article on the blue transferware origin. Have a great week!
Nancy
Those orange stemware glasses are awesome! I have never seen orange glasses before! And those candlesticks are too cute! Love your bold table colors. I always look forward to your tablescapes!
Well Mimi, black and orange provide a LOT of drama themselves!!!

Thanks to Stasha :)
Which came first - the flowers or the blue and orange table? Makes me smile - the flowers are just so perfect with your bright and pretty table.
It's beautiful Mimi! I love the flowers that go with it too.
I had never thought of blue and orange as a great color combination until our recent trip to Texas where there were roadsides filled with bluebonnets with some orange indian paintbrushes mixed in - it was so pretty!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I love the blue and orange together. Who said you can't have candles at breakfast?!
Your flowers go so well with your lovely dishes. Blue Willow is such a classic. I like how you paired it with the orange.
Love your china!!
Happy Tablescape Thursday~~
Have a blessed day:)

Hi Mimi, I love your table with the blue willow plates accented with the orange, I wouldn't have thought to do that combination but I love it! Your flowers look so pretty too! Thank you for visiting and leaving your kind comment on my "My "TWEET" Tablescape Thursday", it was so much fun designing this table. I'm really into birds this year and I love the yellow and blue in this tablescape.
Hugz,

Hi Mimi. Beautiful breakfast table. Love the cheerful contract of orange and blue and the flowers are very pretty.
Greetings, Johanna
I love blue and orange together, and you've combined them beautifully on this table. My everyday dishes include blue and orange, and now you have ME wanting some orange glassware to go with them! Your table perfectly complements the pretty flowers.
Mimi, Your blue willow is so pretty and it looks great with the orange accents. The flowers look really nice. Stunning!
I love the way you mixed the colors and the dishes. Each time I look at Tablescape Thursday I learn so much about being creative with color. I would love to sit at your lovely table.
Hi Mimi, I do love your orange glasses. The flowers are beautiful, too. Everything is so bright and pretty! Thanks for your comment on my table.
Blessings,
Ava
The orange looks so pretty with the blue and white china! Very nice!
Katherine
Hi Mimi!
I think the orange goblet is awesome and stands out so pretty.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit over at HomeHaven. enjoyed hearing from you!
God bless and may you have a sweet week-end!

I love that color combination. And I am smitten by your Blue Willow plates. I am on the lookout for some like them. Wonderful sense of design!

Hi Mimi,
Great tablescape -- very pretty. The goblets that you asked about are Noritake provincial -- now discontinued. There are many colors including orange. You can find wine, water and two sizes of ice tea -- 11 and 13oz. I have an extensive collection of this pattern in all the colors. Watch Ebay someone will be selling orange sooner or later. Good luck. Arlene
dear mimi,
thank you for your kind comments. i wanted to let you know i finally finished posting my sister's contribution. I didn't want you to miss it!!!
donna
Mimi, thanks for the information. Wow, you are good. I don't have a clue what any of the silverware is. This lady had it in a drawer in her booth at the flea market and she had the stuff tied in separate bundles. Nice to know who they are by and the pattern and age. Thanks. And I love all the colors of this cute tablescape.
What a pretty table! I like the blue and orange.
Beautiful tablescape!! I have the currier and ives from my grandma and I love the blue and white! Grandma always said it was the poor man's china since she got it at the grocery store!! Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog!!!
Hi Mimi! So pretty...love the pops of orange! I love the Blue Willow, too! Your flowers are gorgeous! Have a great week!...hugs...Debbie
Such a cheerful combination for breakfast, M.
