Creamers and sugars hold such a facination for so many...including me.
I have very plain dishes and was thinking that I'd never be able to participate in a tablescape meme, but you've inspired me to find some inexpensive pieces I can mix with what I have to make it more what I call "frou-frou"!
That looks like a delicious breakfast! Y'all look so cute in your black and white, and you don't look a day over 50!
Hi Dear BJness! Oh, how lovely! You gals look so charming in your black and white! You're the cutest, though! LOL
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
You all look wonderful in your chic black and white! I love your polka dot and stiped dishes/cups. So cute!
I just did a black and white post on my Lavender Hill Studio blog...

BJ,
I've always loved all your black and white. I think our dishes and tablescapes say a lot about our style. All of you ladies look very pretty, I must say. I laughed about 4 of you dressing in black & white at the same time because my hubby has said that it doesn't matter what holiday it is, Jane and her sister's will be dressed for a funeral! We do love our black~very slimming... ;-)
That breakfast would be my favorite meal of the day. WITH coffee, please!
xoxo
Janie

I have so much black and white in my closet..I love wearing it..and just recently have gotten into decorating with black. My coffee table will soon be black as will my barstools... :)
Black and white...great colors!!

BJ, I love you black and white polka-dot dishes. I just bought some plates at TJ Maxx a couple of weeks ago.
The breakfast looks wonderful, it is just about my favorite meal.
Happy Hot TT in Texas.
Barbara
Girl, I sure enjoyed my morning at your table! The table was gorgeous and the food was delicious:) I love black and white too and have to be really careful because I could wear only that! Gotta mix in some color. I too am retired and enjoy my coffee and not having to rush! Have blessed day!
What a sweet sugar bowl - great black and white combination
You ladies looks so pretty. You look like a singing group lined up to perform.
I love your black and white. You always make everything looks charming and inviting.
I love black & White too of course. I keep seeing all these great dishes that people get at Big Lots, I think I need to go check it out! Your table setting is beautiful, you have such a knack for putting things together, and that breakfast, oh my, that is my kind of breakfast!
I'm a black and white gal myself so love all your pretty things. I have so many pairs of black slacks and white tops it's crazy! lol! You gals look really nice!
I love black and white. It is my theme for all my clothes. I love the side picture of you on the porch swing!
Black and white....... are so classic..... love the picture with the ladies..... so cute.....
Hugs
Linda
BJ, I cannot look at a polka dot or stripe and not think of you, particularly red ones or black ones! I love them, too. SO cute, and I'll be right over for breakfast. AFTER I deal with the men in the yard! ;-)
XO,
Sheila :-)
Ooh! I love the polka dots! The one Big Lots we have over here is DISGUSTING and filthy and the employees are RUDE. I can never find anything cool in there.
Anyway, I love the splashes of pink with the black and white, and lemme just say, you're a very pretty woman!
I'm so glad I've put you on my blog roll! It's nice to have a few "normal" gals to visit! LOL
Justine :o )
I think it's the curvy shapes that we admire on sugar bowls.
Your table looks delightful with the candle light. I want to sit and eat quickly before that fairy dust gets all over my food!
Always sugar and spice and EVERYTHING nice here....throw in some polka-dots and roses and out Sweet BJ has another wonderful post! I finally posted for VTT today...and yes....lol...it has to do with this GRAMMY business!
Hi BJ, I love black and white too....especially black and white checks.....oooooooooo!
I love all your goodies....every single one.
You are so cute!!
Hugs, Barb

Looks like you gals had a fun time .
LU Friend , Mary
I haven't gotten into the black & white, yet; but I sure liked your tablescape. Yummy looking breakfast! I rarely cook breakfast; maybe I need to start then skip lunch. Sally
B&W is divine! Love your country breakfast!Happy TT!
I love your beautiful dishes.. and little sugars and creamers are just wonderful. That breakfast...yummmmmm
Happy VTT..have a great weekend.
Your table is so pretty and breakfast sounds delish!!!
We arrived at the lake at 8:30, this morning. Settled in and relaxing. I'm catching up with tablescapers!:-)
Such sweet little touches, thanks for sharing.
Betty
I'll come dine with you any day, BJ! I am a devoted polka dots lover, so this just made my heart sing! So sweet the way you have it all arranged. Food sounds divine.
Brenda
I love the black and white with the pink, very chic! That breakfast looks delicious too, especially since I'm hungry right now! Wish I could just pull it through the screen and dig in!
Great table, BJ! Black and white is such a great combo!
That picture of four ladies in black and white turned out good, didn't it? That was a fun day among many already this summer. Love your black and white blog today! There's just something about black and white that looks so clean and sharp; just is sooo classy.
With a breakfast like that who needs IHOP or any place else. No wonder Mr. Sweet Nothings takes such good care of you! He wants to keep you around for a long time 'cause you're so good to him. I do too.
Love you!
Martha
Very nice! I love the pink against the black and white! :) My only suggestion to get the right side to not be cut off is when you take the picture think about how the side will get cut off and then frame your photo in such a way that it won't cut off anything you want seen. That's what I am doing because the same thing happens to me! Bah. That food again looks yummy :)
All the best,
Allison
Oh...you know I love black and white too!!! I love the addition of the pink...so pretty!!! The flowers in the creamers are just the perfect touch!!!
Ya'll are just to darn cute all dressed up in your black and white!!! I love it!!!
BJ...this is a darling post!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Enjoy!!!
XOXO
Cathy
What a charming and lovely table you have set for a delicious breakfast! Love the polka dots and you ladies look so lovely in your black and white! The pink roses are a beautiful touch!
Thanks for sharing!
Tina
I always love looking at your tables all set up fancy and beautiful. And I knew if I just kept scrolling down I would get a peak of some wonderful cooking you did. And your roses are just beautiful too.
Big Hugs,
Chris
Glamorous breakfast BJ. I am always showing empty plates. You all look lovely in black and white and you are so slim and trim and just darn cute.
I love the black and white, especially the polka dots with the pink. But it all looks wonderful with the falling fairy dust! Thanks for sharing
Very nice!
Love your black and white dishes, BJ. And the pic of you four ladies is beautiful.

I love your black and white dishes! I very seldom wear anything but black and white. I decided this year since I love it so much, I should add some to my home. I want some black and white polka dots something! lol I love your Breakfast, Wow you made me want to sent down! I had 2 great great days. Keeping Grandchildren today. I had hoped to get more done, I taking advantage of my feeling better! I have a list a Mile long! lol I love feeling great! Try a Tomato sandwich, I grew up on these for lunch as a young girl! Nothing like it!
I'm with you on the coffee! Love the black and white theme.
Love the polka dots and the breakfast looks yummo! A sweet table!
~Liz
I really loved your black and white theme. Everything was inviting and, for what it's worth, you charmed me with your post. Thanks for sharing your photos with us.
Love your black and white and the breakfast sounds so delicious.
Christi
One of my favorite combos! You've gotta love black and white :)
What a pleasing breakfast setting!
I love wearing black and white too -- dresses, tops, pants. Lately, I started a collection of black tablewares which will go with my white dishes.
Beautiful tablescape (I love B & W, too!) & that breakfast sure does look good!!! Taking a lunch break & just found you via Tina's Cherry Hill Cottage! I'm going to try making the Blackberry Wine Cake that you both made! Look forward to reading more of your blog tonight---it's great!--so glad I found it! Patti
Breakfast food is always good to me any time of the day...even if it's served on a paper plate...but this looks absolutely scrumptious with your pretty B&W tablescape and pink accents. Black and white is always so classic...for the table or the wardrobe. :)
Great post! It's funny, I wear almost nothing but black and white but I don't decorate that way. I'm a more seaside color person in my home palette. Does that make me schizophrenic?
