A Christmas Breakfast





Merry Christmas!

This fun little breakfast china was a birthday gift.  It is made by Le Comptoir De Famille of France.  The placemats are from K-Mart and are part of the Country Living Collection.
Another little lamb sits center stage in the cloche and keeps our focus on Him and the sacrifice to come.
More on the marshmallows later!

Where is the egg cup placed? I need a little help from my friends!

I am linking to these wonderful sites for all the fun parties!  Check them out for some wonderful holiday inspiration!  I will be including one of the photos of the lamb in Trendy Treehouse's 'Reason for the Season' Shutter Love Tuesday! 

I am also linking to the Holiday Home Tour at

Side Note:  I just got this nice feature of my porch over at Remodelholic!  Just looking at it makes me sigh and take a deep breath remembering warmer days!  Thanks Remodelholic!
