Pancakes at the counter for breakfast today!
It's suddenly much cooler here again, and I'm fighting a sore throat. I haven't had time to create a new post, so I thought I'd share a little breakfast setting from the past.
Pancakes, anyone?
Many mornings we simply have oatmeal with fresh berries, or during the hot summer months, it is cold cereal with fresh berries. But sometimes we just feel like hot pancakes with maple syrup. The petite counter space between the kitchen and the morning room includes two counter stools and provides a perfect informal dining spot for two.
An Italian planter with pink cyclamen adds a bright backdrop to separate the space from the farm sink in the kitchen.
Fruit inspired textiles from the south
of France lend a touch of Country French.
These 100% cotton placemats with matching napkins are typical of the textiles available in France. I found these at a small shop in Nice for a very reasonable amount.
Our everyday pottery is Petite Fleur by Sigma. It is made in Italy and hand painted.
The mix of French Provencal textiles with the simple decor of the hand painted Italian pottery compliment each other.
These yellow pockets are actually hot pads. The fact that the fabric mixes polka dots, stripes, and checks caught my attention immediately, but my first thought was . . . "Wouldn't these be perfect repurposed as little pockets to hold flatware at a table setting?"
What do you think?
It's a mix of Italian and French, though both with a country feel, and a blue and yellow color palette is always cheerful for breakfast.
We like warm maple syrup with our pancakes, . . .
and this spicy variety is a special treat.
A couple of sausage patties are the perfect side dish. Have to have a little protein to start the day!
Yum! Pancakes are a nice treat once in a while!
If you want a quick, easy, fail proof recipe for pancakes, here it is. I've made these since my single days of sharing an apartment with roommates. Thanks, Margo!
