Cafe Chez Lizzie Deux

Welcome to Cafe Chez Lizzie Deux

Just over a year ago I produced Cafe Chez Lizzie
as you can see here in this "link"

Today's table was influenced by a floral arrangement I put together after going to the local Farmer's Market over this past Labor Day holiday weekend.
 I was totally intrigued when I saw the giant stalks of Cockscomb.  My eyes zoomed in on the green Zinnias, which go great with the red Cockscomb.  I made my way back to another stand for the Sunflowers that I had my eyes on.


Sunflowers seem to mark the end of summer's growing season.  Always a welcome sight though!

Last year's table was all about red but this year it's all about blue!  The tall crystal vase brings this tablescape to a more upscale level. 
  
Williams Sonoma tablecloth (clearanced).  Love that golden yellow banding on it.

A golden jacquard napkin adds a little more of the color found on the bottom of the tablecloth and from the sunflowers.  A little  wired chicken napkin ring pops in a little more of the French influenced theme.

The navy and white striped napkins are from Pier 1.  I added a plate below with the Fleur de Lis motif and my favorite white chargers, again from Pier 1, along with a navy blue placemat below that helps stabilize the design on this large checked tablecloth.

The hint of red on the edge of the striped napkins ties in with the red in the bistro dishes.  The bistro dishes are also accented with black so the use of the black napkin ring helps tie that together. 

 My white rooster would look good here too 
don't you think?

Ok I had to give my rooster a place at the table too!
Look at this- two looks in one!

Thankful for the sunshine!

 Thankful for your visit!!
I hope you enjoyed my Cafe Chez Lizzie Deux!

I'll be joining a few parties this week.
 I'll put up the links when I join!

  6. Such an adorable table and I almost swooned, when I saw that yellow band around the tablecloth - such a perfect little detail! So enjoyed the flowers, especially the Zinnias. When my husband and I moved into our first house, the very first flowers that I planted were green Zinnias - they were called, "Envy"!!

  14. Your flowers are just lovely. I have never heard of Coxcomb at least as a flower. It is gorgeous. Pretty much anything with red and yellow wins me over.
