My inspiration for this tablescape came from this cute little hen.
A couple months ago I saw her at Home Goods, but did not buy her. Last week we were at Home Goods again and there she was for under $10, so home she came with me!Lately chickens and roosters have been invading my house, with seeing all of your "yard foul" I have fallen in love with them again! I had a collection back in the 70s, but gave them away.
It helped that "Henrietta Hen" was a pale yellow and fits right in with the yellows in our home.
I found these pretty check napkins on sale for $1 each recently and knew they would match my butterscotch china (from T.J. Maxx) I tied them with raffia and placed some raffia in the centerpiece flowers.
The flatware is from Home Goods last year.
I used our everyday glasses to go with the more casual look.
To ground the centerpiece I placed it on top of a small wooden tray, turned upside down.
The blue flowers are the ones I also used in my 4th of July red, white and blue tablescape.This tablescape was mostly created with things I already had, very inexpensive! I hope you like it!
Have a happy day!
God's Blessings to you!
Katherine
P.S. - Henrietta wants to come to the rooster party! Should she be allowed? She's looking for a date with handsome rooster so she can go!

Cute table, love the hen-would love to see her at the party, a lady has to do what a lady has to do!
That's lovely, honey, and a very "unique" rooster to boot!

Katherine, I love your hen, she is just so cute. I love the color too. Great centerpiece and your dishes and linens are just gorgeous. I love the pretty pattern of your dishes. Very pretty. Hugs, Marty P. S. I definitely think she should come to the Rooster Party.
Now I think the roosters would be very pleased if Henrietta showed up! What a cutie she is -- love those pretty napkins.
Henrietta is wonderful. what a great find. She provided a perfect centerpiece for an already beautiful table. Come visit and bring Henrietta, she can be friends with my rooster!
Katherine,
what a cheery table. I love your butterscotch china (yumm, Butterscotch, I am drolling) and this pretty checked napkins, tied with raffia. That looks perfect together. And I love what you made with the hen! That cornflowers and raffia are gorgeous to the pretty hen. Thank you so much for sharing this welcoming table.
Greetings, Johanna
By all means, Henrietta should be at the Rooster Party. They will all be crowing for her attention!
Your table is full of cheerfulness. I like the way you tossed the flowers around Henrietta for the centerpiece and the use of raffia to tie the napkins. Nice job! ~ Sarah
Katherine, cute table...that hen is adorable...she looks so busy looking for something, maybe she is making sure she isn't on a platter!
So cute! I love how the raffia on the napkins tied into the raffia in the centerpiece! So glad you found a bargain on the inspiration for your table!
Very cute table and I really love how you used the flowers and the hen. I would cry FOWL if she couldn't come to the Rooster party!
Love, love, love those plates and that flatware. What a wonderful shade of yellow!

Your raffia napkin rings are perfect with Henrietta and the plaid napkins. I'm glad to see she has a good home after waiting so long! Linda
Those dishes and flatware are so pretty! I am not into chickens, but your new hen is adorable! Does it eat much? :)
Katherine, I love what you did with your table! The chicken is so cute, and I like how you scattered the flowers under her and tied off your napkins with rafia. NEAT!

Your new hen was the perfect inspiration for a darling table. Is you flatware Argent Sophia Gold? There's a current eBay auction for 1 - 3 sets of 4 right now. I have the same pattern, and it's fun to use. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
What a great scape. Love the casualiness and finish look you have created. Just a reminder, glass ware always goes on the left side of the plate. Keep up the great work...michelle
Beautiful table! I love the "glow" with the flatware and the dinnerware. Love the centerpiece too!
Very pretty table. Cute centerpiece, but my favorite thing is the napkins. Love those colors.

How wonderful that Henrietta was still there waiting for you to take her home! Your dinnerware is so lovely. I love those napkins - such pretty colors.
Love the dishes, and Henrietta too.
Katherine,
I love your little hen! Such a pretty table setting.

Hi Katherine...
My friend, your Ms. Henrietta Hen is just adorable! She certainly makes for a stylish table centerpiece as well! The first thing I thought when laying eyes upon your beautiful table was...French Country at its finest! I love it! Ohhh...and I just adore your beautiful butterscotch dishes...they're lovely! I have been looking for some just like that...a soft buttery yellow color! Love how you placed the beautiful blue flowers around Henrietta and how they pick up that same beautiful blue in the napkins! Wow...what a great deal you got on those pretty plaid napkins!!! They really give your table such pretty color, my friend!!!
Well, I'm trying to play catch up with my blogs since being out for two weeks...I don't think I'll ever really catch up! Hehe! But I did visit your pretty black and white polka dot table vignette! It's beautiful!!! I love your "fleur de lis" cup and saucer holder...gorgeous!!! Love all of those pretty polka dotted dishes and ohhh...that teapot!!! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous vignette and table with us, my friend!
I also wanted to thank you for coming by and taking a peek at my Tea Rose bedroom! I always enjoy your visits and sweet notes...thank you, Katherine!!!
Warmest wishes,

Well, this is super cute! I love how you arranged it. The raffia and flowers are the perfect touch. Are you going to join the rooster party this coming week over at Bella Vista? You should put your rooster on it. Very nice table.

Your little hen took you to great places. The table is cheery, and I would love to be sitting right there hen chatting.
You've done it again! Your table is gorgeous. I love those napkins and the way you've put it all together. Think you need to come to my house and help me 'play' with my stuff.
