Before it got so blasted hot here, I planned a surprise for my teenager daughter, breakfast for the two of us back in the woods at Cedar Hill.
I set out a tea towel for our tablecloth, and spread out a few dishes, with coffee, strawberries, and croissants.
Our centerpiece was an old vintage blue mason jar filled with wildflowers.
Here’s a photo of her hot pink boots.
Since our surprise breakfast, I have painted the table and chairs, and I’ll share the new look in an upcoming post.
How fun!!! I love the table and chairs – I think I’ll start looking for a set.
Blessings
i was already enchanted, but the last pic is over the top cute~
Anita, what a sweet spot to enjoy a lovely breakfast with your daughter. Love the table and chairs and can’t wait to see what you did to them.
What a sweet thing to do! You have given her a very small gesture that will yield big memories later.
You are a good mommy to take the time to make a fun memory for your daughter! Thanks for sharing the lovely photos of your table set up and food.
How fun!! Getting up and having such a wonderful breakfast awaiting.. I would have been there in a heartbeat!! Love the coffee pot!!
That looks like heaven on earth….love the table/chairs….but most of all that wonderful spot! Cute boots!
This looks delightful! What a precious memory you’ve made. So simple but such a sweet time was had I’m sure.
What a lovely spot. I love how you have the table tucked in the woods. Can’t wait to see the changes! Love her pink boots!

What a precious gift of you and your time that you gave your daughter. Thanks for the idea!
This is so very sweet, Anita, and I’m sure you made some wonderful memories that day!
Anita,
Precious memories for you and your daughter in the making!!! This is a romantic venture of the bond between mother and child. My son, now grown, and I adore telling of the place in time when he and I shared a similar breakfast in our country kitchen. He was a sophomore in college. A stolen moment between mother and child forever etched in our memory…priceless. In the years to come this photo of the boots will bring smiles to both your faces!
Fondly,
Pat
Anita, Such a pretty table and a special time to share with your daughter.

Anita, this is a charming idea. Love your little spot in the woods. I’m thrilled to find your blog. I popped over from Kim’s at Savvy Southern Style. I’m now your newest follower and a fellow Texan. Hope you are surviving the heat at Cedar Hill Ranch. ~ sarah
