One of the many “luxuries” I enjoy in life is weekend breakfast in bed. Nothing makes me feel more luxurious than listening to music, drinking coffee, and reading my book. Snuggled up in a pile of linen pillows.
Inside my head, my butler James enters, lights the fire and says “coffee is served, Madam!”….okay, maybe a little crazy. {But I AM working on having the antique French mantel Mr. FGH bought on our last buying trip installed in the center of our bookcase wall. One can dream, right?}
Getting back to weekends, and that wonderful luxury of getting up later, lingering over a French Bowl of coffee is just about perfect. Normally my work schedule makes it so I have to get up by 6:30, and on Saturdays and Sundays I still wake up then, but get to go back and enjoy a lazy hour or so. Pure bliss. Right now I love using these cafe au lait bowls, they bring a note of cheer to a chilly autumn morning, hold quite a bit of coffee, and are “very French”. Being wrapped up in this Malibu throw, makes this luxurious experience even better!
Here is the recipe for Orange Marmalade from Ina Garten, I love to slather it on my gluten free bread. {it’s the weekend, calories don’t count} You lucky non~allergic ones can have croissants! It’s not difficult to make and I hope you will love it as much as I do. I’ve made it with lemons, and that is very good too, if you want, you can buy a good quality jam or marmalade, but there is something special and satisfying about making your own. I hope you have some relaxing time this weekend, and maybe treat yourself to cafe au lait and breakfast in bed, too! xoxo
Hello Lidy… LOVE breakfast in bed!… and yours looks delightful!… I sip my cafe au lait every morning out of my 100+ year old bowl I purchased from you a number of years ago… can’t wait to try to make some orange marmalade!… Happy weekend to you!… xoxo… Julie Marie
I am so happy to hear that you use your bol every morning! Perfect. I hope the marmalade turns out lovely, I think this is such a great recipe, and it’s delicious.
Shh..it’s my guilty pleasure! I love this post, it makes me smile. I too have the fantasy about breakfast being brought on a tray (a tray I bought from FrenchGardenHouse). Love it…happy weekend, Lidy. 🙂
Love breakfast in bed. I have tried that marmalade, and while my consistancy wasn’t perfect, it was truly delicious. Always a treat to read your posts, you make my day when I get on in my email. Thanks!
Thanks, Joni! That means quite a lot, coming from YOU! xo
Those little luxuries–so French! And I love that stack of baskets.
I just sent you an email, which bounced back for some reason. I LOVE your site, and will put a big shout-out on my post next week!
