I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Here at the Plate Addict household, things are quiet after a busy morning with the grandchildren that began very early! Christmas breakfast has to be easy and simple as does the tablescape. So…it’s just a few quick additions to my rustic Christmas centerpiece!
While the staff is checking out the packages and wrapping paper, our beloved CEO Ozzie is slipping in a little snooze in her favorite chair…decorated with pink ribbons…her favorite toys.
Following my decision to keep it simple on the hutch…just adding a few pops of red and green among the Quimper faïence…
…I have added a little more of the same to the tablescape… 
…with a wicker charger topped by my Wedgwood Queensware plain...a Goodwill bargain at $68 for 52 pieces...
…decorated with a few sprigs of rosemary from the garden tied with twine and a shiny red ornament…
…little green stars on the saucers, reminiscent of the little cookies they always serve with coffee in France, and a candy cane peeking out of the Irish lead crystal goblets…
…and my favorite Octette pewter flatware with its chunky rustic lines and three-tined forks resting on red napkins. 
Mr. and Mrs. Snowman shakers from Publix several years ago have joined the little reindeer in the shabby box from Joss & Main…
…and more candy canes and rosemary add a festive air to the little lead crystal urn filled with vintage flatware, Goodwill finds collected over time. 
My country French rooster chandelier…another favorite… is decorated with more shiny red ornaments to finish off the simple Christmas look in the breakfast room.
Now we only need to add the breakfast casserole, biscuits and some fruit to complete the table! Won’t you join us?My Christmas has been filled with lots of love, laughter and hugs…not to mention lots of time spent as a captive in the fort delivered by Santa! lol I hope yours has been all that you hoped for and more! It’s my last opportunity this year to say it, so…Merry Christmas to you all!

I love the flateware! Hope you had the chance to take a long winter's nap.
I love it!! My favorite is the rosemary with the ornament a
placed on each plate. It's so inviting... Makes me want to stop in for breakfast and a cup of hot tea. Merry, Merry Christmas!
Debbie,
Adore the pops of red and green on your white dinnerware! The sprigs of Rosemary quite fitting and the aroma is just right...not overpowering , or too light! Lovely Christmas Breakfast tablescape!
Fondly,
Pat
It all looks beautiful! I especially love the rosemary tied with twine and embellished with a red ornament. Glad you had a nice day with your family.
Looks beautiful! Breakfast sounds delicious. Perfect to me, happy holidays!
So simple and romantic!!!
Festive and fun, as usual! Love the capture of your darling "CEO", too! :)
It looks like a wonderful, fuss free table to accomodate kids and adults alike. I am so glad you had fun with your family-captive or not...xo Diana
Love the Publix snow men! We use those too!

Such a sweet and fun table. I too believe that Christmas morning table must be easy and fuss free. I'm so glad you had a wonderful Christmas. hugs, Linda
Hi D....cheery table! The wicker chargers are my fav....can be dressed up or down. Love the little balls on the tree. Linda
Beautiful table...love the rosemary decorated on your gorgeous white dishes!

Great centerpiece! And I love the flatware!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! :)
It is the little touches that make this table adorable, Debbie! Love the rosemary tied up w/the ornie. It is all so cheerful and festive. :-) hugs, Sue
OK, I love everything about this tablescape. The flatware is fabulous, the dishes....what deal and the simplicity of the decorations used to enhance the settings was spot on. Oh, and I love how you have inserted napkins/towels in the wine holder cubbies on your hutch, great idea. Thanks for sharing Debbie.
Simple yet so beautiful. I love it from a fellow plate lover...
Very pretty rustic tablescape, Debbie. I love the idea of the rosemary sprigs. I should copy that cause we have so much in the garden...Christine
Your breakfast table is beautiful. I really love the rosemary and red Christmas ball tied with twine. That is simply a beautiful decoration.
I am looking forward to trying your breakfast casserole as well. That recipe sounds delicious and is unlike any other breakfast casseroles I've made. Yum!
Happy New Year!
Your home looks divine. I love the fresh rosemary ideal, it always smells so wonderful. WE all work so hard, getting ready, and then in a flash it is over. Richard from My Old Historic House.
Very pretty and inviting table setting! Happy New Year to you and yours!

Your table and home are just gorgeous. You're an inspiration.
Belated Merry Christmas, Debbie! Your breakfast tablescape is gorgeous, as is your whole room! So beautiful and festive!
I'm particularly intrigued by the plant to the left of your hutch. Love it! What is it? And is it real or faux?
Yes, Christmas breakfast table needs to be simple. I love yours! Very festive, but not fussy!
It looks like you had a splendid time. Hope you got out of the fort unscathed, LOL!! Have a BLessed time with your family.
Such a delightful way to begin Christmas Day. laurie
It looks so pretty with the early morning sun shining on your table. I have a very similar chandelier in my kitchen. In fact, it started a whole kitchen makeover!
I just thrifted those Publix Snow people shakers this fall. I loved using them.
Debbie, everything looks wonderful. So happy you had a wonderful holiday :)
xo, Bonnie
Fantastic!!! You pulled off what so many people would love to do for a simple but festive Christmas morning brunch or breakfast. It looks fantastic but it didn't take away scads of time from your family. Little additions here and there can sometimes make all the difference!
Beautiful, Debbie!! Refined, but fun, too! I love the shadow box filled with holidays goodies. And your flatware...love it!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!! :-)
XO,
Jane
Everything looks wonderful!! I am now a follower of your blog and look forward to return visits. I invite you to join me as well at http://atastefultouch.blogspot.com Happy New Years. Hugs, Gayle.
Visiting from TTT. Like the arrangement you made for the plates, and I will take that box you have in the middle off your hands if you tire of it. My favorite part? The cat on the chair (Ozzie?). I'm a sucker for those 4 legged furry creatures.
Debbie, your tablescape is so pretty. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas. So wonderful to spend it with the grands. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Your breakfast table looks so beautiful! I love all the fun details. It makes me wish Christmas would last longer so I could do a fun tablescape like that. Well, there is always next year. I think I have to get started with my decorating earlier next year! Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Best wishes for the new year!

I loved seeing your table and baker's rack, Debbie! I may have to copy your idea of using a wreath on the baker's rack -- looks wonderful!
loved the box as part of your centerpiece.. must give it a try. Truly a lovely setting. Wishing you warmth, good cheer and many, many blessings in the new year.
Great table...love the centerpiece. I keep coming back to check out the pewterware, it is calling out to me.
Happy New Year, Deb
