Breakfast at My Place...

good morning!
last night i finished the binding on my placemats.
when i got up this morning
i couldn't wait to try them out...

{never mind that i had to clear off the table first!}


a closer look.


i decided that a grey border
would make them more versatile~


and i already had this fabric!


being breakfast time
and
being breakfast placemats...
i boiled some eggs,
toasted some bread,
made a cup of tea
and
christened the placemats...


they did the job
magnificently!!! 


mr p has gone to work,
mr m is not yet up,
so max and ellie and i had breakfast
most peacefully this morning.

i hope you breakfasted royally this morning...
and treat yourself like the princess you are today
and if you like
come and have a look at what Kirsty is up to with me,'cos it's thursday!

and ...happy thanksgiving to all you americans
and anybody else who wants to celebrate it!

naturally Carol xox
