Have You Seen My Roosters?

4.28.2010

Thought I would play with the dishes today. I don't do this much like others of you do. I really don't have a lot to play with. Thought I would pull out a couple of my many roosters to use as the centerpiece along with a rooster painted pitcher filled with flowers. This table is set for a casual lunch.


Rooster pitcher from Target many years ago.





Bought this multicolored rooster a few years ago at an antique store in Savannah, but
have seen it in many stores since then.


Large funky rooster from a local decor store.





Rooster napkins from Williams and Sonoma Outlet


Fleur de lis plates from Williams and Sonoma outlet.


White plates from Home Goods last year


White wicker look chargers from home decor store no longer in business.


Oneida stainless flatware that I have had forever


Wine glasses from Home Goods and water glasses from World Market.


Anthropologie  butter dish ordered this year.





Green mats from World Market last year for one dollar each.


I am joining Tablescape Thursdays at  Between Naps on the Porch. Please be sure and go over to Susan's and check out all the other pretty tables.

Thanks so much for all the great comments and please say hello when you drop by.

Please get in on my giveaway before time runs out. Info HERE !!


Y'all come back now,

KIM

    You sure know how to strut your roosters;)! I adore your table Kim! Everything looks so great together and your check curtains look gorgeous in the background!

    The whimsical rooster in your centerpiece is my fav...so unique...tell him to get his little rooster tail over to my house...I'll be on the lookout for him;)!

    Beuatiful table...love it all!

    Have a wonderful evening!

    Beautiful colors, I love roosters, wish I had some (plates, not real ones!) but I haven't any yet... maybe one day I'll collect some. Your table is set so pretty, the plates and napkins are lovely too.
    Can I come for lunch ;-)

    If you live near the Chicken Capital of the World, you've got to have roosters. Your combo looks fun and forshadows summer. Keep your little one in her sweater a few more days, though ;)

    I love that funky rooster! You shopped some great stores for this table. I wish I had just one of them near me. I don't know what I'd do if I got into a Williams-Sonoma outlet store!

    Everything on your table works so well together. Love those napkins!

    Gorgeous! You can't go wrong with roosters. It's a small thing but I'm loving your Anthro butter dish. :) Of course, I do love all the WS goodies too. You have an outlet there? Man...we just don't have anything good here.

    There is a really nice shopping center about 2 miles from my house where Talbots, Ann Taylor, Chicos, Panera...all that is located. I heard a woman saying that her husband is the leasing agent and Anthro might come in there. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Everything looks so nice! I just love your blog and am your newest follower:). Thank you for visiting my Italian Tablescape this evening and leaving your kind comment, it was greatly appreciated. I know what you mean about the Italian thing, you'll have to help set the table one time you are there for a visit, it may help...I hope you have a wonderful evening and I look forward to visiting you again.

    Hi, Kim...just me again.
    I had to come back and tell you that while you left a comment on my blog, I had YOUR blog still pulled up, looking at the Before and After of your breakfast room. It is AWESOME...Everytime I see something frenchy that I just love, I think of Penny at Comforts of Home..she is doing her home in French Country. I emailed her your photo with a link to your blog. She'll be over as soon as she sees my email.
    Also, must confess....I also pulled up Country Curtains...I want those red and white buffalo curtains for my dining room. They are a little pricy so will have to save my money for them. I am also in the thrones of redoing a guest bedroom, trying to buy things for it, too. Social Security budgets are VERY strict so, one piece at a time...:)
    I love your decorating! Hope you don't mind being stalked !!!
