It's Strawberry Season!
I am joining Rita at Panoply for another Table Setting Hop. All participants are listed at the bottom of this post for the Summer Tablescape Share!
My table is set for a BERRY BRUNCH
I love Strawberry Season!
The Courtly Check plates are topped with melamine strawberry dishes:
I used two placemats rather than a tablecloth and tied the napkins in a simple knot above the plates:
I have had the red flatware for many years:
The Berries and Blossoms plate is a discontinued pattern from MacKenzie-Childs:
A simple bunch of flowers in a candle globe sat in the center of the table:
The little baking cups were perfect for Bacon Curls (recipe below)
I bought the Strawberry Bread Basket recently at Home Goods and it held Strawberry Bread:
Strawberry Butter is very easy to make and delish on muffins, bagels or quick breads:
The wine glasses held Strawberry Punch. The MacKenzie-Childs pitcher kept the beverage nice and cold during our meal:
The Berries and Blossoms plate is a discontinued pattern from MacKenzie-Childs:
A simple bunch of flowers in a candle globe sat in the center of the table:
The berry bowl was a recent purchase from Home Goods and held the mini quiches:
I love to have little favors so I purchased a few strawberry boxes and filled them with.......
BERRY SOX!!
Another sweet treat:
I am looking forward to picking some strawberries soon!
What's on the menu for Brunch?
To make Strawberry Butter, simply mash one large strawberry with 1 T softened or melted butter and 1/4 t Flavor Seed Sugar Momma Cinnamon Sugar Dessert Spice. Chill in a mold.

Good morning, Patti. I love your cheery strawberry-themed table and you carried its theme perfectly! The melamine strawberry plates are so fun. The food looks and sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipes. It is a treat to hop with you. Wishing you a wonderful summer!
ReplyDeleteI love this themed table! So cheery and so many creative touches.
ReplyDeletePatti, I am so hungry after looking at your lovely table and recipes. Strawberries are a favorite of mine although as a child, I didn't like them. Go figure! I am envious of all your strawberry pieces...so refreshing and colorful and fun. Have a great and blessed day.
ReplyDeletePatti, this is just the prettiest table! The strawberry theme is perfect and all of your strawberry plates and serving pieces pair perfectly to your MacKenzie Child’s pieces. The brunch menu sounds scrumptious! Thanks for sharing your delicious recipes. I hope you have a wonderful summer! Shannon@Belle Bleu Interiors
ReplyDeletePatti I LOVE your strawberry table! Your black and white with the strawberry red is completely summery – makes me want to go have some strawberry shortcake right now! And those little strawberry boxes are just darling, especially with those little sock treats. How creative! And oooh bacon curls!! The recipe sounds fabulous, and such cute little cups for them. Yumm! What time is brunch?? I’m on my way!!
ReplyDeletePatti, your berry good brunch is the cutest! I love your attention to detail and your treats look scrumptious! Happy summer!
ReplyDeleteYour table is so much fun and stylish, Patti. I noticed in Anthropologie that EVERYTHING is fruit themed this summer. I'm loving it! All the strawberry touches are fun, and I really want to try your strawberry bread recipe. Of course the strawberry butter is so perfect, and so is using the darling mold. Thanks for posting all the recipes. I'll let you know when I try the bread. Your brunch looks so cute AND delicious! Happy summer!
ReplyDeletePatti, your very berry table is darling. You paired so many fun accessories with MKC courtly check plate. You are making me hungry with all of your yummy treats. The strawberry favor boxes are darling along with the berry socks. So cute! You left out no details for aa fun and festive summer table.
ReplyDeleteThis post has just about everything, from a beautiful table with fabulous dishes, to tips, techniques, and a recipe. I’m going to be busy. I have been looking at all of the tables on the blog hop today and I have been making audible gasps. Seriously, the cat is giving me the side eye. I’m shocked to learn that the strawberry plates are melamine. I never would’ve guessed that. How perfect they look up against the McKenzie Childs plates.
ReplyDeleteWow, Patti, you aren't kidding when you labeled this a berry good brunch! First, the table: I loved the discontinued berry & bloom plates from M-C, such a nice pattern. You could've fooled me with the top plates being melamine! The added pieces from Home Goods are great additions to your love of strawberry patch. And such a cute idea for takeaways. Now, the food! Oh my, those bacon curls and mini quiches look super delish. The bread and butter would be like dessert for me, and the house special drink for the brunch would be a real hit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing both a great table and menu for this fun summer table. I appreciate you and your creative ways you always bring to these hops!
Hi Patti, I came over from the blog hop. I love everything strawberry. This is deliciously beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeletePatti, my heart skips a beat seeing this cute and whimsical strawberry tablescape. It is so adorable. I love how you paired the strawberry plate with the black and white checkered plates and red and white gingham. And the cute little strawberry box party favors with a pair of strawberry socks. The strawberry butter does sound absolutely delicious, especially on a morning pancake. Yum!!!! Who can decline the punch too. I love how you brought together all of the strawberry accents too like the baskets and dessert cups. Perfect summertime tablescape. Have a great summer!

You have me craving strawberry bread and bacon curls this morning! Once again, it’s a treat to join you at the table and hop with you. Wishing you a wonderful summer ❤️
😍 oh Patti, I LOVE this! So many delightful strawberry elements! I love the way you layered the place mats and the adorable strawberry plates look so cute on the Courtly Check dinner plates, and how creatively you styled the napkins...you thought of everything, strwberry glasses, strawberry punch, strawberry socks in the super cute strawberry box, and the menu, wow! As I often tell you, I wish I lived nearby, I would love to come to one of your parties!

Patti, your strawberry vision is the perfect blend for a summer of fun and made me smile when I saw it. Love the strawberry plates and all the black and white checked accents that you used in your table setting. Brunch is a favorite meal especially over the summer. those relaxed moments enjoying a second cup of coffee while enjoying the sounds of summer are precious. Thanks for sharing all these great pieces with us.

Patti, the strawberry theme is so pretty and fun for celebrating summer. I love the strawberry plates stacked on top of the check, Wishing you a very happy summer..........
ReplyDeletePatti, your strawberry theme is perfect for summertime. I have a big bowl of strawberries in my refrigerator right now. Perfect summer snacks. Darling details, and thank you for the recipes. I may try the mini quiches. Love the napkin knot at the top of the plate stack. Clever idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy Summer!
Patti! This is such a sweet table in more ways than one!! I just love all the checks and patterns! You have addressed the essential summer fruit (some might say that is watermelon but I beg to differ) with so much fun!! Every element is cuter than the next - but I have to say - the sox in the box put it over the top for me!! I am with Sarah and adore the napkin knot framing the plates - perfect!! I hope you have a wonderful Summer!
ReplyDeletePatti, your table is adorable and the strawberry theme is just perfect for summer! The strawberry plates look perfect on the Courtly Check plates and I love the gingham placemats and the knotted napkins. All the strawberry accents are so cute from bowls to baskets to socks in little strawberry boxes as favors. The menu sounds delicious and my mouth is watering over those bacon curls - yum and pinned. Thank you for sharing all the recipes. I hope you had a berry good brunch at your lovely table and wishing you a fantastic summer!
ReplyDeletePatti, this is adorably whimsical! The strawberry theme is perfect for a summer brunch and I love the prominent role both the red and black checks have. The way you tied the napkins adds a jaunty flair to the place settings. I love the variety of little strawberry pieces you found, especially the little favor boxes and the strawberry picks. I know your friend enjoyed this as much as I did. Enjoy your strawberry summer!

Patti, this “berry good brunch” is so fun and fresh! I loved your use of reds and ginghams—it felt like the best kind of old-fashioned summer picnic with a modern twist. That strawberry theme is deliciously delightful! And your recipes have my mouth watering!! 🍓☀️
