It's Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at
Between Naps on the Porch. I love looking at all of the beautiful tables everyone sets each week. It's a great way to get ideas. And each one seems better than the last! It's so much fun!
Since it is just the two of us and since usually we're not rushing off in the morning, breakfast is a leisurely time at Linderhof.
The paper (
The Pittsburg Morning Sun), coffee, and finally breakfast.

My mother always set the table -- for the family -- not just for company and so do I. And I like a tablecloth -- it just seems to be more civilized when there is a tablecloth on the table! And cloth napkins, of course!

I prefer my coffee in a cup and saucer but husband Jim likes a mug. And my passion for blue and white is shown in my selection of my "breakfast room dishes" -- Johnson Brothers Indies pattern -- the wee pot and creamer (and a sugar and two cups) brought home from England -- the rest purchased after we built the breakfast room -- to be our everyday china.

There's always flowers (or fruit or herbs) on the table. The toast is in what husband Jim calls a "toast cooler" but I love the way it serves toast -- so much better than piled on a plate -- and it stays crisp (and cold!) A LeCreuset skillet holds a frittata for two -- and the only thing that that skillet is used for -- it's my frittata skillet!

I like walking into the breakfast room and seeing the table set -- it puts one in such a good mood to have breakfast at a perfectly set table.

Oh it is beautiful. I love the blue and white and your dishes are gorgeous. How wonderful to set such a pretty table for the two of you and for breakfast. I would love to wake up to this too. Lovely. Hugs, Marty
I love all your tablescapes but this one..just for two...is so pleasant. I can just picture you relaxing there. Peggy from PA
Hello Martha,
I LOVE your post about Breakfast for two. I agree
about the toast holder. I prefer crisp toast and I always butter once the toast has cooled a bit. I love the table setting and all the lovely details.
Thank you for visiting me at my blog. I am new at this (blogging) and thrilled about the lovely people I am meeting along the way.
I love the toast rack...how fun!
I've seen it used before to hold mail and stationery.
Oh what a lovely setting you have for your breakfast table. I love it! And the blue and white dishes (are they Johnson Bros. Indies?) are some of my favorites.
Very cozy! Does your DH know how lucky he is? I'm jealous, I don't have a Le Crueset pan, let alone a special frittata one! One day I will have my day of glory.
Beautiful with a touch of romance set for the two of you in your room with a view. It doesn't get any better than that. It is set with perfection as always Martha.I would love to be a guest for breakfast at your home. What an amazing treat that would be.
Incrediable tablesetting for "Tablescape Thursday".
Hey, thanks for visiting my Astoria blog and making a comment! There are a number of Bed and Breakfast places on hills here. I can imagine that any of them would be nice :) Have not been in one myself. Come back any time :)
Back to say that i don't have a Le Cruset pan for a fritata either which makes me thin I need one now but I have everything else that Le Cruset sells. How did I miss that pan. I can solve that probleme easily. I am going up to Thomasville on friday and the kitfhen shop ther has all their kitchen pans disconted, All Clad,cast iron cookware and so much more. Maybe i need to get one. It looks to be 8 or 10 inches in diameter. Is that corect Martha?
I know it is a MUST have in my opinion, How have I managed without it.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Your table is lovely. The blue is so pretty, especially with the yellow tulips.
Oh yes, I'd be in a good mood too if I walked in and saw this lovely setting and that scrumptuous breakfast. Just looking at these pictures gives me a "life is good" feeling. laurie
Wow, I feel like I've been transported to a lovely cottage in England! This was truly delightful!
Beautiful table for your inviting breakfast room.
Your tablescape is so inviting, elegant and a wonderful tradition! It definitely sets the right tone for the day. Your blue and white plates are lovely, as is the tablecloth, the flowers, I love all the details, especially the toast holder.
Thank you for sharing,

Your breakfast setting is not only civilized, but beautiful as well. Your blue and white china is lovely with the yellow and gold of the cloth and flowers,etc.
Frittata is a favorite egg dish of mine and one that I prefer over quiche. What a lovely way to start the day in your pretty breakfast room.
Also, thanks for visiting me at my blog.
This is so pleasant looking, Martha. You are a treasure.
Hi Martha,

As always I have enjoyed your post.
Take care and have a wonderful day,

Oh Martha! I am in love with your breakfast room!!! It is so cozy and welcoming! The food and table a fabulous...but what really caught my eye is your floor...that's right...the floor...I just adore brick floors...someday....!
Thanks for stopping by and for your nice comment...I can see you need no convincing of how important it is to set a pretty place whether it be for two or one!
Happy TT!
