Good morning! Today I’m having breakfast in bed. A French breakfast to be exact!
I think having breakfast in bed from time to time helps your house feel like a hotel… and you feel like a Queen! It makes your life go from ordinary to extraordinary, don’t you think? Bring some fresh flowers in to make it feel even more enchanting! Make your bed! Put on your nice spa robe, Ugg slippers, and enjoy!
On the menu this morning
Freshly baked pain au chocolat
Espresso
Just like a real French breakfast! If I were a real Parisian, a cigarette too! (ha, don’t smoke, but the French certainly do!)
I bought this little espresso cup in the Napa Valley. It is by Pullivuyt, a French porcelain company. I love it!! You can get a set of four here or one here. Put a little coffee bean on the side of your espresso, stir in the sugar with a silver demitasse spoon!
Want to know a secret about this pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant)?? It is fresh out of the oven! But… it’s from Trader Joe’s! YES! In the frozen section of TJ’s there is the pain au chocolat in a set of four. It is super easy to make – just pull how out many you want to bake the night before – let it thaw and rise overnight, and then in the morning just pop them in the oven for 15 minutes or so!
Voila! Instant, freshly baked, chocolate croissants!
If you’re feeling extra brave, you could always make your own plain croissants. Here, I’ll help you out: two of my favorite French food bloggers versions of croissants recipe 1 and recipe 2.
But I’m lazy in the morning, so I’ll stick with the TJs one! TJs also sells mini plain croissants in a set of 8, if the chocolate ones aren’t your thing!
Well, thanks for stopping by on this wonderful Sunday morning. I’m off to eat enjoy my breakfast and read my blogs! I use bloglovin’ to read my blogs, it’s a great app that makes it easy to follow and read all of your blogs.
Post-Breakfast Outtake: After enjoying breakfast, Chloé the cat had to stop by and smell the roses!
Beautiful! How cute is kitty smelling the roses! Love it!
I love my kitty!
This is my kind of morning! Thanks for the TJ tip. I'm going to stop by tomorrow and pick some up. We need to keep these in our freezer! Your tray looks so pretty and inviting ~ black and white checks, Juliska Country Estate, roses, and pain au chocolat!
PS ~ a local store had select pieces of their Juliska on 50% off. I added four cereal bowls to my Blue Country Estate, two more comfort mugs in Country Estate Ruby, and the dessert plates in Country Estate Ruby. Feeling lucky! I may need to set a breakfast tray! 😉
oh how lucky!! Did they have a tulipiere?? how I miss mine!!!
Had to pin this to my brunch board. It's lovely.
oh thank you!
Nice! I don't know if I've ever had breakfast in bed…Oh well, I'm a morning person anyway… I sooo wish we had a trader joes out here in PA. Thanks for sharing at Dishing It & Digging It!

Thank you!
What a lovely idea. The coffee sure looks good – there's just nothing like a good strong espresso and a fresh pastry!
Agree!!
I have to admit I don't eat in the morning but your bedroom is a beauty! Love your headboard! So pretty! Also love your art!
Don't eat in the morning?? I am one of those people who is always hungry, don't know how some can skip a meal! Thanks for your kind words!
OK, everything about this is special. The croissants just have to be amazing with a little coffee. Your kitty looks so sweet.
Happy TOHOT. 🙂
Yes they are super good!!!
your breakfast sure looks pretty on that tray.
Thank you!!
I love your breakfast in bed. I often do that too, lol. It is such a special treat. I must look into the Trader Joe's croissants. They look delicious. I love your pretty expresso cup too.
Have a great week.
