The Perfect Summer Breakfast Buffet

Disclosure: This shop and post have been sponsored by Cost Plus World Market to celebrate their Summer Fun Sweepstakes.

Summer time, to me, not only means fun vacations away from home, it also means visitors from far away. The guest room is prepared as is the guest bath.  But, what about feeding your guests?

Oh sure, you could have bowls, milk and cereal on hand but, why not treat your guests to something special.  I mean, they did travel by car, bus, train or plane to see you, right? 

How about a waffle and crepe breakfast buffet served al fresco?

You could set your table on top of a fun outdoor rug out by the garden first thing in the morning.

For our guests, while I set the table, Mr. B made up a batch of waffles and crepes.

These mixes from World Market could not be any easier to use! 

In just a few minutes you can have gourmet breakfast food to serve.

Speaking of gourmet, I added cute little jars filled with fun fruit spreads such as Mango, Orange Marmalade with Champagne, Lemon Curd, and Black Cherry. And, of course, we had to have the maple syrup in the Maple Leaf bottle!

How cute is that turtle holding the butter?  

And how fun and colorful are the plates?

The red tablecloth over a yellow thrift store cloth really adds some color and pop!

Of course, there has to be drinks!  You could go the boring plain OJ route or,
how about some Blood Orange or Orange, Mango Passion Fruit soda, plain or, mixed with champagne for a new take on a mimosa? And, if you need a kickstart to get your morning going, nothing beats a Bloody Mary amIright?

Add glasses and flatware and your Perfect Summer Breakfast Buffet is ready for your guests to dig in!

World Market Grand Re-Opening Celebration!

You all have seen my dining table featured in many of my posts.
You know that I dearly love it.

It is the perfect blank canvas for all of my tablescapes.

I had searched high and low for months for the table I had dreamed of.
I finally found THE ONE at World Market at Cherry Creek here in Denver.
It is part of the Verona series.
World Market is true to their mantra, Unique, authentic, and always affordable!

Of course, being me, I didn't buy it right away.  I waited.
I went back many times to see it and touch it lovingly.
Finally Mr. B had had enough and told me to just,
for the love of God, go get it.
So, I did LOL.

2 years later, I could not be happier with my decision! It is so beautifully made.
It's solid wood and durable.
The finish has just the right amount of distressing without being too rustic.

The stain is the just best color for the room, which I wanted to have a slight Tuscan feel.

Of course I have been back to World Market many times! 
I have made many many purchases there from table to home décor as well as gifts.
I love the selection of furniture from the dining room, to the living room.
At some point we hope to replace our sofa and I know I will be
checking out the sofa selection at World Market.

Recently I found out that they are closing the location at Cherry Creek!! 
Gasp!  NOOOO! I love that store!!
But then I found out they are
RE-OPENING a brand spanking, BIGGER location not far away from the old location!

Hurrah!
I then learned that they are having a Preview Party on February 27, 2013!
And, I scored an invite! Squee!!!!! 
I get to check out the shiny new store and come back and share it all with you!
