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!

Cafe Chez Lizzie

Come on in!
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to my Bistro inspired 
dining table!
 A morning breakfast table has been set 
and is ready to go! 

A new set of dishes inspired me...they are called
Bistro de Paris 

 After exploring pictures on the internet I noticed a common thread with Bistro tables.  They are simple, have a tablecloth and always have a floral arrangement.

I made a trip to my garden to create a casual bouquet for my table

The hydrangeas are perfect right now and the Stella d'Oro  Lilies are displaying a 2nd round of flowers, I also included Black Eyed Susans, Russian Sage, Yarrow and a Cone Flower...

I used these black dinner plates like a charger to separate the checkered pattern on the table from the dishes. 

My Pottery Barn napkin rings were used to casually gather the napkins.

 For effect, I used the manual setting on my camera, changed the F stop and created an early evening look...

And there you have it...my morning bistro
 setting for two!

P.S.
I have to show you how these dishes came too...
 I love the box and plan to keep it!
It's oval in shape and I can store the dishes in it
when not in use.  

 My Stemware which I didn't seem to capture very well in my pictures.   They are made by LaRochere

Thanks for visiting!
