Breakfast & Pink Depression Glass


 Our little table in the kitchen is set for a " bunny" themed breakfast.  


For the centerpiece, I am using a miniature rose bush that I bought at the grocery store.     I bought the pale pink one you see here and also a darker pink one,  and a yellow one.
I have the table set for a casual breakfast...paper plates to serve the toast on....
I printed a egg "place mat" from the internet.....and I have paper napkins that match the paper plates  (from Joann's)

I put a rose bud printed fabric topper over the existing tablecloth .  This is a small table and a 45" x 45" square fits perfect for a topper.    It's so easy to order at the fabric shop....find 45" wide material and have them cut you 45"....easy peasy!
We are having fresh squeezed orange juice with our toast....see the little juice glass in the background?

I bought these five pieces of pink depression glass at the auction yesterday.    I have never seen a small ice bucket, and it came with two little tongs.     I know the ice bucket and the plate are old,  but the other pieces may be reproductions.
 $20.......can't beat $4 a piece!
After breakfast,  I'm going to have a cup of tea from this special tea pot/cup combo that the kids brought me back from Disneyworld.



Isn't it sweet!   H will have another cup of coffee,  he would rather have that than tea.

See how perfect that topper fits my small table? 


Thanks for dropping by...come back soon!

xo....Penny

    1. You may be right Vivian! It's kind of small for an ice bucket.....a little big for sugar cubes, but I think that I will use it for sugar cubes! Hugs, Penny

  24. I love pink depression glass and your collection is great, and what a find too! Such lovely pieces, like the juice squizzer! I love your table for breakfast, my fav food, even though I'm very light with it, but nothing like your first cuppa coffee with toast and maybe some eggs on a beautiful set table! Love your new rug too!

  27. Good heavens but you did get a great deal on the pink depression glass! Repoductions or not...they are beautiful. What a great idea how to get the perfect square and not have to cut it yourself. Believe me, I will use it! When I'm up to getting out there shopping again. Everything is adorable! Lets see now..what can I copy?? :) No teapot, not even this adorable one, has struck me as much as your Comfort and Joy one at Christmas. I cherish mine!!
