I am loving the black and white! The cushions are so dang cute! I need that brownie right now!! Great idea to put it under the dome! I must try that idea.
Stop by and enter my napkin ring giveaway.
How I love your polka dots, bj! But then..as usual, I love everything you do! How cute it all is.
Then came the brownies under glass...and I fell off my chair!
Yep...looks good but...YUK!
I know! I feel the same way! I'll eat it less often and eat the good tasting stuff! (As she sat stuffing the last of her Klondike bar into her mouth!)
Love and hugs,
Mona
Oh yes, you had to have those dots! They are perfect in your sweet cottage. :)

Thanks a lot ;)

I just love that black and white table, I love what ever you put on it, it is just so pretty, the polka dot cushions are so so cute, I would have picked them up too, love them...take care my friend...Phyllis
I love your new cushions and it looks great with all your other black and white.
The brownie goes to show the eye can fool you right? Maybe that is why when we see photos and commercials it makes us want it.
You are a hoot! First..love the header with your parents letters. Love the table and the chair pads look so cute with it! The brownies in the pan...oh my! I love how you are just real, no showing recipes, just do this and be simple! Home grown pecans huh..very cool! :D
When I saw the polka dots I had to come right over to see! I love polka dots, especially black and white! The chair cushions are wonderful! The tablescape is beautiful! What fun!
Katherine
Love it. Love it all. ;)
I love your dots and checks! Very cute. And the brownies.......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
I'm with you BJ, I am such a sucker for polka dots, and black and white checkerboard too! The dotted chair cushions with your beautiful shiny checked table is so adorable! Love the tablescape:>)
Ooh ooh ooh!!!!! BJ those cushions are just so perfect for your table and chair set-up! And man, no matter how many times I've said it, gotta say it again. I love that tabletop!!!!!
Justine :o )
Every time I see polka dots, I think of you:) Love the chair cushions and bandanas for napkins...thanks for the idea. Hugs to you, have a blessed day!
Polka Dots. Black & White. So cute to have a theme, to catch our eye. I love it!
And more peeks around Sweet Nothings Cottage. :-)
Am I the only one who just loves to figure out layouts? Oh dear I hope not. It sounds sort of as if I'm way too nosy and that sounds way awful. But I'm really not *casing your joint*!!! Really!!!
^_^
I have yards and yards of a similar black and white polka dot fabric up in the attic. I can't even remember what I was going to do with it now. :(
Anyway, love the cushions!
...and never too many dots!!!
xo
Di
I love your dots and I love your checks too! Your table was charming. The (real) brownies I am sure are MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
P.S. Your header is very cute too!
Hi BJ ... fellow New Years Eve baby. Love the stunning table in black and white. You can never have enough dots, I always say.
Those brownies looked delish, funny they didn't taste good. Glad the second ones were better. :)
The cushions are too cute!
And I love your table too...I haven't seen the bandanas as Dollar Tree, but I haven't been in awhile.
The napkins in my new header are bandanas too..black with green shamrocks!
As for the Brownies, I agree. Better to have the real thing..Moderation in everything!
What a waste of your home grown pecans!
What a great idea with the bandanas!! I never thought of that but I will be looking for some! Beautiful table...so pretty!! Love the centerpiece.
Love all of your poka dots! Those cushions are just adorable!! I must say I was drooling over the brownies until you said they were sugar free and awful! ha! I have to make four desserts for a function this weekend so I will be on a sugar high for weeks! :o) You can bet your boots that I will be taking pictures for the 'ole blawg!
Take care and keep on keeping on!
I am with you on those "healthy" brownies! Most of that stuff tastes like crap.
I really like the black and white tile table -- it really lends the perfect backdrop to your great tablescape. There is such a nice clean graphic quality to your composition.

Hi BJ,
I'm glad you gave in to your DOT addiction once again ... they're just so doggone fun, aren't they? Your table looks great. Love the bandana napkins ... they're perfect for this 'scape!
Those brownies ... wow, I think I gained a pound or two just staring at the screen. I'm with you on most sugar-free stuff (have you tried sugar-free, fat-free ice "cream?"). I think I'll go for the real deal ... in moderation. Well, not too moderate ... I'll come up for air once in a while! ;)
Bye for now,
Bill
I love the chair cuhions.
HAHAHAHA. Dots. Yes. I never get tired of it!!!
Very beautiful. I love the dollar store:P
www.lechateaudesfleurs.blogspot.com
Love, Love, Love it.....Never get tired of black & white. Always stylish & chic.
Now we're all seeing D*O*T*S! and they are soooo cute. Just the perfect accent for your tablescape today. And just gotta love the Dollar Store finds.
Cheers!
I love polka dots and checks and this is just perfect. Such a great tablescape and those brownies look absolutely mouth watering. I would like one please. Just beautiful. Hugs, Marty
How cute those cushions are, and they look great with your black and white table. Your tablescape is perfect, and I love the bandanas for napkins. I still adhere to the philosphy that if it's healthy, it can't taste good! But oooooo Hershey brownies-got to try some of those. laurie
found your blog through a friend's (the coffee shop) and I just have to say that table is gorgeous. (or as we say in the south, Gawgeous). I'm totally loving the idea of the bandanas for napkins. Kinda adds a hint of masculinity to the feminine polka dots.
Hi BJ! Just love dots any color any thing!!! Really cute. Now I say don't mess with brownies you just have to have the fattening ones!!!lol Have a great weekend - Sincerley, Jeannette
Thank you so much for visiting my blog all the way over in Africa - it's lovely to 'meet' you and visit your blog, too. The table settings look lovely - the dots, black & white so striking and the brownie .... ahhhhh ..... delicious !
Bye for now
Lynda, Kilimanjaro, East Africa
Just have to tell you that I just love your new header and all of your fun black and white! Have to ask you, how do you stay so skinny with all of those goodies you're always making?!
HI Dear BJness! Oh, I love your dots and checks! You've made everything look so spectacular! You're good like that! ;) Now those brownies - yummyness is written all over them.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Dots! What is not to love about Dots?
Your pictures are sinfully good!!
Hi, Your blog is pure sunshine and happiness!! I love dots too, there isn't another shape as cheery as dots.
Your table setting is adorable.
xoxo

Hi BJ
Oh boo that those healthy ones didn't taste that good and you had to throw them out!!..but hoorray the others look delish. Yum!
I love the polka dots..and the black and white are soooo pretty and striking. You have to have polka dots when you come across them.

Judi
I love the black and white theme. You can't go wrong with brownies! Have a great day! Denise@cottagesisters
I forgot to tellyou I think I will steal the candle in a jar idea as well, just have to find the right jar, a mason jar or a cut crystal or plain, hummmm thanks for the post...Phyllis
The dots are great!! I really like black and white. Your brownies are mouth watering good:)
I love the polka dots, but you knew that! The black and white is stunning and I was all excited about that interesting looking brownie...blah, hate it when a recipe is a bust!
Have a wonderful weekend.
I think your dots are looking awesome. Also still so love that table too.
Alas healthy just doesn't taste as good does it?!
Have a good weekend.
I love the black and whites and the polka dots and the brownies. Yum!...Christine
I saw your wonderful coffee pictures at the coffee shop, and so am paying you a visit! I love the black and white motif!
Hi BJ
You had better keep those brownies under glass--I just may take a bite--lovely tablescape!
The black and white checkered tile table top is perfect for your black and white pieces! I love it.
Oooo, BJ, I love the polka dots! :) Gorgeous table setting! Your pitcher matches my china pattern (I think) Pfaltzgraff Heritage! Whenever you're tired of it send it this way! LOL! Great job - so glad I stopped by! Thanks for your encouraging words the other day! :) Bathroom is ALMOST finished!
Wow, I love your table...the polka dots are perfet with it!
Susan
I just love black and white and am partial to checks and polka dots so you know I LOVE your table!
I had to chuckle when I read your healthy brownie that looked so scrumptious went in the trash. At least it looked nice.
