~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOH LA LA...
When I saw this BEAUTIFUL Country French tablecloth in the WILLIAMS-SONOMA catalog...
I. HAD. TO. HAVE. IT.....!!!
****
To be very honest here...this TABLESCAPE post is all about my new TABLECLOTH...
:o)
The above photo is from their website...I just WISH I had those wide plank real wood floors!!
BUT...back to the cloth....do you like it ??
**
**
I HOPE YOU DO LIKE IT, 'cause it is lookin' mighty handsome in my
COUNTRY FRENCH DINING ROOM....
YES, MA'AM...I am loving it to absolute pieces !!
***
It brings out all the other french golds in the room...
the little wooden rooster, the silk flowers in the french mustard and white metal vase...
(ooo, and see those ole brown chairs...*shhhhhh....i am trying to convience Mr. Sweet that they need to be painted a beautiful, French Black...he never says, "No"...just rolls his eyes...you know what i'm talking about ..)
****
I am lovin' the way my vintage, golden flatware goes with this cloth...When I ordered it, I didn't think how great they would look.
NOW...I've just ordered the napkins that should be married to this tablecloth.
They will be in next week sometime..
Maybe by then, I will have come up with a famous frenchy centerpiece....
any ideas ?????
***
The blues in the tablecloth looks great with my french blue secretary and the thrifted blue and white rug beneath my long table...
**
...and, well, I am totally and forever in love with these sassy roosters around the bottom of this fabulous cloth....I am just flat SO proud of it...
My good sister friend, MONA, got the beautiful RED one, just like this. Now, she is just as proud of her's as I am mine....we decided that it didn't take much to make us olden gals happy!! :>)
O, and the reds in this tablecloth?....... GREAT with the red hutch...
**
I don't have any new dishes to play with here but I just had to do something so I could show my newness!!**
OOO, and I would NEVAH invite you over without giving you a treat...
THIS time it MUST be...
french....
**
SOME more of those fabulous and magnificent BEIGNETS...LITTLE FRENCH DONUTS, covered in powdered sugar
**
O, dear friends...I used the very LAST of this delightful mix that Beautiful Daughter brought to me from
NEW ORLEANS, LA.
She says they serve them at Cafe' Du Monde
..the Original French Market Coffee Stand..
located in the French Market since 1862...
and that they are BEST when served with CAFE' AU LAIT...
This mix can be ordered on line...www.cafedumonde.com
**
I didn't have Cafe' Au Lait today so I am serving good ole DUNKIN DONUT coffee,
HOT with a large scoop of Pure Vanilla Ice Creme...
~~
OOO, and I KNOW this Black and White Mackenzie-Childs is NOT french...
but...I am thinking the french use anything PRETTY that they have...
and....this is what I have to serve you on today.
~~~
BON APPETIT' !
(I hope Appetit is spelled right..that's the spelling on the box from New Orleans and that's good enuf for me!)

You must give me a LOOK for list from WSonoma. I go to the outlet once a week or so, and I will scout it out for you..nothing breakable though..
I sent someone dishes she wanted and 2 broke...not worth it..

Beignets an coffee, and on the best tablecloth ever! It doesn't get any better than this.
Oh WoW! Roosters!! I just love that tablecloth BJ.

I could use a bit of it about now, umh I got some cream cheese pastries! Can those be French? I love your print! I bought one a while back guess I need to show it. It above my little Bistro Table, that hasn't found it's place in my home yet. Your dining room is wonderful! Now for those wide plank floor, I have them except a smaller plank. Not lot of fun to clean! lol

I forgot to ask, Your stemware, Do you know the name of it? I have many pieces of it. Have no idea what it is called. I sure love to know. I love your rooster cloth! Yes, I know I already told you! lol Oh, I got some Maran chickens, they lay chocolate colored eggs, and they are French chickens. My pride and joy! The chickens on your cloth look like Marans too!
That tablecloth is fabulous! I think I'm going to mosey on over to the Williams Sonoma website and see if they have any round ones. I love all your French country touches, too!
Jane
Hi BJ,
You absolutely did the right thing when you ordered that charming tablecloth! It's colorful and, at the same time, understated. You've done a great job accessorizing it ... particularly with those sugar sprinkled "sweet somethings" you're serving on that fantastic MC tiered serving dish!
Great job ... as always!
Bill
Love the music background, BJ. I love Brenda Lee! Ok, can I have a beignet and a cup of coffee, please! Looking so scrumptious! Your tablecloth and your table accessories are all so pretty...Christine
Oh! I love your tablecloth! Maybe you could get a few thrift store chairs and paint them black to use for a while until your husband gets accustomed to seeing the black?
What are you using as a magazine rack in your dining room? Is it a window? Looks great!
What a wonderful tablecloth. Everything looks beautiful I enjoyed visiting so much.
Have a good weekend,
Laura
What a pretty tablecloth, BJ and you decorated with it so beautifully! Love your MC serving piece and those beignets look just like the ones in New Orleans...yummo!
I do so love the tablecloth and absolutely everything else in your pictures! The donuts look delicious. Thanks for always showing your pretties:) Have a blessed day!
BJ, Your new tablecloth is to die for...wish I had seen it first. You definetely are getting to look very frenchy...rooster plates, gold or yellow table ware...wow.
There is nothing in the world as good as a beignet...especially in the french market early in the morn with french coffe...I grew up on that.
A little coony here......
Barbara
It does! It does! Very perfect for your dining room. It is at home. And you prepared a beautiful, yummy tablescape. Wish i could reach out the monitor to have a piece of that donut LOL
Mizpah,
Li
Gorgeous...I have been looking for a tablecloth in those colors...do you mind if I mosey on over to Williams
and Sonoma and order myself one?
I think your chairs would be awesome painted black.!!!
Enjoy visiting every morning BJ!
Ooh lala indeed! I love this tablecloth and the way it picks up all the beautiful colors in your home. The rooster plates look brand new on it and everything is gorgeous! Now how about passing those beignets?:>)
My goodness! I can certainly see why you needed that tablecloth! It's so pretty and is perfect with your roosters. Love it!
Ohhhhhhhhhh I have tablecloth envy! Hand it over and no one will get hurt!!!!!! Okay, well maybe if I get some of those Cafe du Monde donuts .........
I would love it too.......
The table linen is so awsome.
I have that daisy plate... it reminds me of Picasso art... but I must say how very french it looks... and autumny... new word...everything looks fab and you ruined my diet cause I am wanting something sweet with my coffee now instead of the boiled egg. Oh well...
Lovely job, I am inspired.
Lee @Inspired Comblogulations
Ooh, la la! I love it, too.
You made everything just perfect. And, I'm licking the powdered sugar off of my fingers. Yum!
I'm still visiting around for PS. I love this dining room. You were SO right to add that tablecloth. AND, look what I found...the perfect flatware.
Is that Williams Sonoma, too? We have it from there in a hunter green, but I think it is time for gold!
See you for PS soon.
BJ, I have been drooling over that tablecloth and all the accessories in the catalog. I bought the cuptowels and I've tried to be happy with just that. Boo hoo. I'm so glad you got it though. It's stunning in your room!
I was peeking at your cute little magazine rack back there. Did y'all make it?
I stumbled across your blog today and was glad I did! I LOVE your taste! Your blog was most enjoyable to look at!
God Bless~aubrey
Yes, I built the side board from the wood we took off the wall and used a blue milk paint, and a stain for the top and lower shelf, don't look at the lower shelf it full of baskets, with dishes! lol I sent you a email. For the answer to your other question. Oh I have to quit coming back, for Your roosters sure are calling me! lol
Hi BJ
YOu have every right to be proud of that tablecloth. I love it too! YOur plates go so well with them also and you've ordered the napkins?
hmmmmm.....I wonder how hubby is feeling about painting those chairs? I have to paint the top of my table actually...
Your tablescape looks lovely..beautifully set up and I would love to have one of those donuts and then hope you can get more.
yum...
have a super day BJ
Judi
Hello BJ, I am in LOVE with that tablecloth. I can sure understand why you HAD to have it. Everything looks awesome on the tablecloth. The best part is you have napkins too. Wouldn't this have been awesome on Flaunt you Roosters??? Next time.
I am going out of town for a week without my computer. I will have some catching up to do when I get back. have pre-posted some posts that I think you will like.
Have a great day.
Hugs xoxo, Jeanne
I would be in BIG trouble if I got my hands on a Williams Sonoma catalog, that place is dangerous to my pocketbook! But it is so worth it, your tablecloth is beautiful and it blends perfectly with your decor.
Tell your hubby that painting those chairs is cheaper than buying slipcovers! That'll silence him! ;-)
All the best,
Anne
BJ, you seriously KNOW how much I love a pretty tablecloth! I WANT that tablecloth. I shall have to go shopping. Be still my pounding heart. I don't know why, but a pretty tablecloth just gets me going. And MacKenzie-Childs, that floats my boat as well. Of course you had to show your new pretty. Don't we all do that? Of course we do!!!
Brenda
Hi BJ
The new tablecloth is just perfect in your country French dining room and it goes so well with the rooster plates too. Tres jolie (very pretty!)
((hugs)) Rhondi
Hi BJ,
Thanks for visiting my blog. :) I have a herniated disk, and sometimes painful to sit. I hope to do a post soon. I love your tablecloth! It's perfect for your beautiful dining room.
Debbie xo
Hi BJ! LOVE the rooster tablecloth and your rooster dishes!!.. And I just wish I could reach right through the monitor to try one of those donuts! ~tina
I'm starting to develop a real fondness for roosters. I love your tablecloth. I would be excited about it too! It's something to 'crow' about (sorry, I couldn't help myself!)
Oh, My Lady, I just can't wait to see all the things you've done to your beautiful home! Everything you do to it just turns out wonderful! Just when I think you can't come up with any better ideas, here you are doing something great to your house again! I love what you show in your dining room! Pretty, pretty!
Love,
Martha

The tablecloth is georgeous, BJ and very Frenchy. i just love Williams sonoma (can't afford it anymore but it is nice for a splurge once in awhile). It looks fantastic in your Country French Dining room. I love all of the pictures you showed of the pictures and pieces you have collected for this syle. I love it.
Chhers!! To all good times with good family and friends at your table with your French roosters tablecloth!!
