Tablescape Thursday-Coffee With The Girls


It is another Tablescape Thursday. Please visit our hostess Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch to see all of the other beautiful tables this week.

It isn't always easy getting 4 women together at the same time. My friends still have young children and very busy lives. This morning we were able to make it work and enjoyed catching up over cofffee.




The plates and tray are Dept. 56 from several years ago. The mugs were a gift and I love how they look with the plates. I used my every day stainless, blue juice glasses, placemats from Kohls and white embroidered napkins.



I pulled out some antique serving pieces for the muffins, grapes and banana bread (the recipe will be on here soon).



We can have a good time with our coffee in foam cups and a donut on a paper plate, but it was nice to "fuss" a little bit over some very good friends.

You can't beat some sweet treats shared with your friends & a good cuppa tea (or coffee, whatever)
Your Dept. 56 plates are adorable & I'm amazed at how well the cups go together with them.

Very cute TT!
