“Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul”
Psalm 143:8
On Monday morning after a week-long vacation, it is so hard to “rise and shine”! But work was calling and so was Tablescape Tuesday! I decided to keep it simple – breakfast for two at our kitchen island! As always, you are invited to join us!
I softened the granite top with a rooster patterned table square! 
A European charcuterie board provided the foundation for the centerpiece! 
Water hyacinth placemats added texture! Paisley napkins match the border on the table square! 
The centerpiece consisted of a Fitz and Floyd rooster and hen along with fresh herbs from our garden! 
I used thyme, lemon balm, rosemary, basil, and ornamental peppers. The salt and pepper shakers are vintage!
Pineapple orange juice in champagne flutes turns an ordinary breakfast into a festive one! 
The rooster plates coordinate perfectly with the table square!
The large rooster and Italian pasta jar are always at home on the kitchen island!
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver”
Proverbs 25:11

Charcuterie board – Blackberry Farm

Just lovely! What a welcoming way to start the day. I found your blog about a month ago and have enjoyed looking at all the beautiful spaces you have created!
Angelia, thank you and I am thrilled that you found our blog! Wishing you a joy-filled week! Blessings, Pam
Love the colors! Blessings this day! Lynn
Lynn, thank you and blessings on your day!
Even the most casual of meals has very elegant settings. I love the Country French theme…So beautiful Pam!…and your kitchen, gorgeous too!
Thanks so much, Shirley! The paisley napkins are quite old now, but I still enjoy pulling them out occasionally. The rooster print was used in my kitchen years ago as well as the paisley. Happy Tuesday!
P.S. The pattern in the napkins is the very same pattern of my wallpaper in the master bathroom of a previous home!…I loved that paper!
Beautiful; one of my favorites!
I am in love with your charcuterie board…as well as your roosters.I think every kitchen should have at least one rooster, and of course every rooster should have a hen.
Thanks, my friend! I have always liked roosters!!
You make it look so easy!
Sandy
Thanks, sweet Sandy!
Your kitchen is so pretty, Pam! I love softening the bar with the cloth. I have a friend that covers her entire bar with a cloth that she had made especially for showers and engagement parties. She uses a solid brown and very formal flowers transforming the entire look.
Your table for two is eye catching and your centerpiece pulls everything together. Love all the colors.
Hope your week is restful. You have had a busy month. Haven’t had a chance to comment on your island adventure. Beautiful scenery. Glad all turned out well. The weather can change things quickly.
Bonnie, thanks so much for your gracious remarks. You are a wonderful encourager! August was very busy, but no immediate plans for travel. I will enjoy being home during autumn, which is my favorite season! Blessings!
p.s. Bonnie, I hope you will post again soon!
What a beautiful breakfast display. You have such talent at putting table settings together. I have begun collecting settings for the holidays. Mixing and matching is definitely the most practical way to go. I will definitely check out some stores on your list.
Thanks so much and sounds like you have a good start on the holidays. I love mixing it up, much more interesting! Blessings!
so pretty! sheila@MykentuckyLiving
Sheila, thanks so much! Blessings!
I commented on your Waterford tour of photos and decided to update and this on Tuesday and am enjoying your rooster plates and lovely linens. This is a really uplifting setting. The FNF rooster is beautiful and Dallas is where the corp started and we always went to their sales.
Please, come take a peek of my Lemon Zest Tablescape post this week!
Loved visiting!
Pam
Pam, thanks for you remarks and visit! We certainly have a lot in common with tablescaping! Wishing you a lovely Wednesday!
So pretty and I love your rooster. A lovely spot to enjoy breakfast.
Thank you Kristi for your visit and comments! Have a lovely Wednesday!
I love this tablescape! It is bright, colorful and sings, “Happy Morning!” Your kitchen is beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing this, Pam.

I love, love, love this! Breakfast for two in the kitchen is such a great way to start the week. The yellows really brighten the space up and are sure to send you out the door smiling. Thanks for sharing at Inspiration Thursday!
Thanks Lela! Wishing you a wonder-filled Thursday!
Your kitchen is beautiful! Your island breakfast set-up is a wonderful idea. Your roosters and plates are beautiful, and your hen and rooster pair are my favorites. Welcome home! 🙂
Thank you sweet Kim! Our kitchen is truly the heart of our home!
Very beautiful to start your day! I love the long board. Perfect for adding visual interest. I love the idea of picking herbs for décor. I use them in cooking, but don’t think to do that. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Jann, I love sharing on SYC!
What a fabulously colorful table with your oranges and reds. My neighbor has a rooster next door, even though you aren’t to have them in the city, and she just loves him, although he is noisy all day, not just in the morning.
This would make anyone want to rise and shine.
Jacqueline, thanks so much! Roosters can be extremely noisy for sure! Happy Labor Day weekend!
What a delightful setting….a wonderful way to start your day.
Thanks so much, BJ! Wishing you a lovely weekend! It is going to be hot here in Alabama!
Love everything about this table! Your linens are divine and you’ve chosen perfect dishes and accessories. Gorgeous!
Thanks so much Bev! Have a great Labor Day!
I LOVE your use of color! Even though I’m not much of a morning person, I would love to wake up to breakfast in your kitchen! 🙂
Mimi, thanks so much! Have a wonderful Labor Day!
Very beautiful table. I adore the colors and the roosters! My favorite!
Kim, thanks for your sweet comments! Blessings!
I love your counter top decor! Very rich and vibrant!
Thank you, Pamela! Blessings!
Hello Pam
I’m just popping in from Stephanie’s party.
I adore this table setting, especially as I’m a francophile!
The toile table cloth and roosters hit the spot with me – I love it all!
Hugs
Shane
Shane, thank you for stopping by! I love all things French! Blessings!
What a beautiful table setting! Love the warm colors. Best, Silvana
Thanks, Silvana! Blessings!
I always admire your use of color and texture. Why not make everyday special? A lovely way to start the day
Suzan, I agree we should make everyday special; after all, it is a gift! Thanks!
Very beautiful. Love the whole combination. Great colors- love the roosters!
Thanks Liz for your sweet comments! Happy Thursday!
I love all of the tuscan colors in your kitchen! Such warm colors!! This is a cute setting and I love the centerpiece arrangement!
Thanks so much, Patti! I enjoy setting up a buffet on my Long Island for company!
I’m so glad you linked this up this week Pam, it’s one of my favorites and I missed it the first time you posted it! Love the colors and Provence feel, it’s just fabulous!
Jenna
Thanks so much, Jenna! Wishing you a wonderful afternoon and upcoming weekend!
Your decore is so beautiful!! Please let me know where you bought that tall rooster. O love it!!
Christine, hanks so much for your visit. I bought the rooster at Kirkland’s, but it has been several years ago! Happy Thursday!
Pam,
Once again I have found inspiration from your table. Ever since our children left the house, my husband and I have been eating meals at our island/peninsula–not at the table. I think my husband missed eating at the table, but it made me sad not having our girls there. Now I see how I can set a beautiful table at the counter. Who would have thought of setting a table where you eat at the counter on barstools? Thank you, thank you.
Sharon, how sweet! I try to make everyday special at meal times even for just the two of us. I think it is worth the extra effort! Blessings!
