A country breakfast: Inspiration and ideas for a natural table.
I have somewhat forgotten the Blog and it is that these last months it has not been easy for me to write with the rhythm that I was used to. I have been "absorbed" for a few months with a project that I am very excited about and that I will be able to tell you about in great detail very soon :)
We have taken these photos these family vacations and I am very excited that you see them. I had wanted to prepare a breakfast table for a long time, without any special reason to celebrate, just because I wanted the table to be special... and what better place than the countryside and while we are on vacation.
As you may have already read in this Blog, in my family we are a fan of artisan bread. I was very excited to cook homemade bread and to use the clay oven that we haven't turned on for a long time.
This was the result... a homemade kneaded bread of 1 Kg. approx. that was great!
I made a homemade bread with the classic recipe of a lifetime and then decorated making very smooth cuts with a knife. After standing for an hour approx. I put it in the clay oven that was very, very hot.
The bread has a nobility that I love and cooked in a clay oven, what am I going to tell you!
Once the bread was baked, all you had to do was enjoy it and I can't think of a better way than with a good breakfast with typical natural products from the South of Chile. Homemade butter, raspberry jam, honey, fruit, buttery cheeses and good bread.
The linen-colored napkins turned out great... the fabric is ideal and the roll format is so practical that it even comes in the suitcase with me to Chile every year. The wooden cutlery was perfect on this table and the paper straws could not be missing. I love glass jugs, I found them in a store in the nearby town and we don't stop using them on all vacations.
On a Kraft sheet I wrote the "Menu". Details like this cost nothing and add a very special touch to any table decoration.
In Chile, being in the countryside and so far from the city, I don't have many resources to set up a table like the ones I would like, but sometimes I think it's not necessary. I picked wild field flowers, these yellow ones we call Amankay. They are native flowers of the South and grow everywhere.
I was excited to make a centerpiece with some trunks that I found near home. I painted the surface with white Chalkpaint and used it to generate different heights. With these trunks, some flowers and green branches and different bottles and cans of recycled preserves, there was a flower arrangement with a very harmonious composition. I will use this idea for sure in more than one of our events that we organize at La Fiesta de Olivia. I hope you like it and inspire for your next table decoration.
