I will be serving you on these ADORABLE and BRAND NEW
coffee dessert plates...I saw these at STEINMART and fell in love..

I've gathered my dishes, napkins, rings and tablecloth...
and see that I am VERY lucky that this set makes
a perfect match with the little dessert coffee plates...

They all work together just like they are supposed to !!

I love using these flavored syrups in cups of plain coffee...As you can see, it is almost gone...

DULCE LECHE coffee.

I so wish I had a beautiful COFFEE SERVER....

Isn't this little vintage juice glass so cute ?**
My 3 little golden candles are sitting on a tiny country french gold colored tray..**

Here's my ADORABLE little stuffed JAMAICAN dolls that BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER brought me from one of her cruises a few years back.The little wicker cart is a thrifted buy from GOODWILL..
in a springy fashionable green...
It seems to be perfect to hold all these luscious coffee beans....
A precious gift from a precious friend...**
MY BFF, MARTHA, gave this beautiful book to me..~~~~~~~
THEY are the very best kind of presents OF ALL....because they always come from the heart....

BJ,
It all looks so yummy and I love coffee!!! I am having some decaf Starbucks, as we speak. Everything is beautiful, as usual. Thanks for inviting me to coffee!

This is so dern cute, BJ...you just knock my socks off with the way you are able to come up with these creative tables, week after week. Honestly...I'm very envious of your talents. Mine all seem to look the same. :(
LOVE your new coffee dishes...PERFECT with your others.
My sisters swear by Dunkin' Donuts coffee (I don't drink it, so I wouldn't know).
Thanks for showing your set of carafes of flavorings. I totally forgot I have some similar ones high up in the cupboard. Watch for them in a future TT.
Hugs,
Rett

What I love about everything that you show is that it has special meaning to you. I too have a corning ware coffee pot. I LOVE fresh perculated coffee. My MIL has a stainless steel coffee pot and her coffee is the best. I just bought a Paula Deen 8 cup 'cause it was cute. Have a happy day! The Twins

Thanks for dropping by my place today, bj! Glad you enjoyed your *walk* with Gentleman Farmer and I.
My, my! What delectible goodies you have here! I just finished a delicious meal but all this still makes my mouth water! ;~P
Your table scape is sweet! Makes me want to sit and have a cup of coffee with you and I don't even drink coffee!
Blessings!
Hi Dear BJness! Oh, I love your coffee table! What a great pun! :)
I don't drink coffee, but I'll have a cup of tea. I know that luscious looking coffee cake would taste so good with a cuppa! You have the prettiest things and I love how you set a table. Oh, by the way, strawbabies are my favorite. I loved it when you said my next post title would be 'hello my name is Shelia and I'm a grandmother'. I just may have to use that.
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;0
Hi BJ
I do love a good cup of coffee, and your looks most inviting. Love the new coffee plates but you are also using your other plates I love. I have been debating on getting some, I love the colors. Your food looks yummy.
Enjoy your day.

Dear bj, this post is heavenly coffee beans and food to die for. Girl you outdid yourself on the delicious post. I am jonesing for it all. I too adore those plates. Cute, cute, cute!!! It all looks fabulous.
I am in Kissimmee. FL visiting my other daughter for a couple of days. She took my grand to school so I am sneaking a few minutes to visit my dear blogging friends. I have NOT had time to get on my computer for the past two weeks. SIGH!
Gotta run and help my daughter sew a valance for my grandson's room. LOL. It never ends. Always busy. I love it though.
Love you too,
Jeanne

Good Grief, but I wish I was out there in West Texas sitting down at the table with you!!! I would be in coffee and sugar heaven, girl!
You won my anniversary give-away t his morning, toots! I'll let Fern and Fran know and they can contact you so you can get your monogram ordered. I'll try to get your package out real soon. Mr. S went back into the hospital for more surgery on Tuesday and that is where I am spending my days! Take care my friend. Congratulations.
lots hugs, Sue
Morning BJ.....you amaze me!!! You have soooo much energy and such good taste. Thank you for sharing! Wish I could run over and share a cup of coffee and talk about our grands!!!!

Gravy on toast! it has to be a southern thing. Told my husband about it and he was very impressed and made me promise to fix this for a good breakfast when we get back home. See what you started; I have to say I am anxious to try this too.
Rita

Hi BJ,
You've really stirred up my taste buds now! It all looks very tempting. I think I'll have strawberry cake with my coffee, please ma'am!
I have that same Corning coffee pot. I love that classic blue pattern (I always look for it at estate sales).
I laughed when I read what you did to your geranium leaves ... thought I was the only one who did things like that!
Bye for now, sweet lady!
Bill
Wow!!!
so well written and photographed...
It was perfect a feast of one's eyes...
Thank you!!!!!
I loved those plates wish i was in the US i would immediately go and buy them , when did you purchase them? I will have to tell my sis who stays in the US to get a couple for me...
Just found your blog and thoroughly enjoyed it! I dearly like many of the things you do. Where did you find the cutlery at your place settings? I've been looking for some the same color. I have one place setting of my grandmother's, but I don't use it. It stays in a small cupboard with all my cups, saucers, and tea things and I smile every time I see it there.
Everything looks so delicious as it always does, ah fond memories from RMS too of your post there.
Have a wonderful day!
Ooh, a coffee post! Can't go wrong with that! I loooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvve those new dessert plates you got!
The bagels look delicious, but aren't you ruining the whole high fiber, low fat cream cheese with the BACON? Heeheeheeeeeeee
Justine :o )
BJ I would just love some of your treats and a nice cup of coffee. The table is so lovely.
xoxo
BJ, it all looks wonderful and delicious and a coffee party sounds like fun. What time shall we arrive?
Coffee and luscious treats??? My idea of the perfect morning. It all looks so wonderful!
Everything looks so fun and wonderful! I love those coffee plates! Great find on them!
I'll have another cup of coffee and just a smidgen of cake. It all looks delicious, and you know I love your dishes, too. If you need me to upload your photos to the FF gallery, just let me know. I'd be happy to do it. I'll put your bloglink under the photos.

I love coffee! I'll be right over! It looks so pretty and so good!
Gorgeous and yummy! I bet there is always the smell of something tasty coming from your home. Love all of the beautiful dishes and oh how I love coffee. Have a blessed day dear BJ! Hugs from Ganky!
Thank you for leaving the very first post on my very first Tablescape Thursday post! I appreciate your encouragement so much! You asked about my silver -- it's Lunt Belvedere, the pattern I picked as a bride in 1972. I still love it! Thank goodness silver was so much less expensive then. I don't know how brides today get ANY silver!
Everything looks so perfect BJ....I can tell you're one great hostess!!!!
Easter Egg Cup Collection is My show n tell Stop by if you can.
Have a glorious weekend.
What a wonderful coffee party. I love Dunkin' Donut coffee, I like it best when I brew it at home. Such a lovely table and so many goodies to choose from.
Karen
Beautiful table vignette and I really want to find your coffee flavors now, they look yummy! Thanks for visiting my blog and the kind words! Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs
What a wonderful post. Do tell, where did you get those wonderful coffee plates. I have a collection of coffee cups with vintage *coffee* on them and these plates would be perfect with them :)
Blessings!
Gail

Hi BJness! Oh, thank you for posting our little Carter on your blog! Isn't she the sweetest? We're a little prejudice. Thank you so much for sticking with us with prayers and your sweet good wishes. We're so thrilled.
You are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
BJ, thats almost too much yumminess in 1 photo session. I gained 10 lbs. just looking. Your table setting is lovely ..
Sonny
Am I too late? I hope not, because I would love a cup of coffee and a hot, buttered roll.
BJ, you are the best at making life special.
What a great party. You have so much food and everything looks so pretty. I love the new plates. I'll have a bagel please.
Another great post, if only I liked coffee, but I do like all the other things....yummm. I have to tell you that my mom had a goblet like the one you have the bascottie (sp) in, I had forgotten about it until I saw yours.
Happy PS
Oh my gosh, I am gaga over that coffee server! It brings back so many memories of my childhood. Isn't it amazing how quickly those memories can flood back just from glancing at a picture?
And the juice glasses were quite a cute find as well!
Everything looks delicious and pretty, you are such a wonderful hostess! Thank you for sharing!
