Barnyard Bash!

I'm joining in the Barnyard Bash, go here for lots of fun and inspiration!

The only real barnyard items I have are these three little piggies, aren't they adorable! They are Jim Shore look-a-like, and have lots of pretty details carved and painted on:
I found them last year at Ross, much cheaper than a Jim Shore, only $5.99! Even though I didn't "need" them I couldn't resist at that price!

I found these chickens the same day (at Ross.) This was only $6.99!

The baby chickens are so cute!

I really like the art work on the mother hen!

You probably saw this dandy rooster at the Rooster party a while ago. I also found him at Ross for $6.99!

Isn't he a handsome dude!

Here's Henrietta again, I found her at Home Goods, she has been featured on a tablescape
and she crashed the rooster party! She insisted on coming to the Barnyard Bash as well!

Now I know this pretty little dog doesn't look like she belongs in a barnyard
but she was nearby and looking so sweet, I thought I would share her as well!

Could you resist those eyes??

I would love to have a real King Charles Cavalier doggie like this, but they cost way too much!! When I saw this resin one looking so real, I had to bring her home! (Only $9.99 too!!) Isn't she beautiful! Her name is Laci!

I hope you enjoyed my little collection of animals and foul!




Thanks for hosting, Lynn! So much fun!

Have a happy day!

God Bless.

Don't they just make you smile?!

Table Top Tuesday

Thanks to Marty for hosting Table Top Tuesday! Click here for lots more neat inspiration. Today I'm sharing a recent vignette I did on top of the white gateleg table in our breakfast nook.

Inspiration for this vignette came from this cup and saucer caddy I found at half-price at Hobby Lobby while on vacation last week.
I'm displaying the little black and white polka dot tea cups I found at Hobby Lobby this past year.
The polka dot tea pot and the dotted rooster came from Home Goods this past year.
The tiny rooster below came from Hobby Lobby:

I added the polka dot napkin in the center

With a white candle and candlestick on top

You'll see more of these roosters at the Rooster Party next week!

Are you wondering about the large painting above the table?

Here it is! It's a biggie, about 4 feet x 5 1/2 feet

This painting was free, my husband inherited it. I like it because of the tea time scene.

I hope you enjoyed my breakfast nook table top!

Thanks to all of you for your sweet well wishes to me this past week! Tomorrow is the last day to take the antibiotic, I've had to deal with the awful side affects since it is the only one to kill this particular bacteria :-(

Have a happy day!

God's Blessings.

Let's have tea together!

Rooster Party

I've been looking forward to this rooster party! Just the words rooster party makes me laugh, it has to be fun! Go here to Barb's Bella Vista for lots more pretty, silly, cute, fun roosters!

Years ago I had a few roosters and hens, but gave them away. I didn't have any roosters for this party, but bought this inexpensive one just for the party! I also bought three inexpensive hens, and four little roosters from Dollar Tree.

I found this colorful rooster at TJ Maxx for only $5.99. This rooster thinks he is hot stuff since he is wearing red hot peppers! I really like the pretty colors, and he is strutting his stuff!

I did a tablescape with this colorful rooster.

A Mexican Fiesta!

I've had this ceramic sombrero chip and dip bowl for many years. I bought a piece of bright striped fabric for the table runner along with bright flowers from Dollar Tree. The two small glasses also came from a dollar store, one dollar each! A very inexpensive tablescape!

Oh, I forgot the cost of the food - the chips were buy one get one free,
and the salsa was free with the chips!

Doesn't he think he is something?

Strut your stuff!!


He is actually a candle holder!

The second set of roosters are from Dollar Tree
For one dollar I think these wooden look resin roosters are pretty cute!

I also made a tablescape with these four roosters.

This is a breakfast tablescape, as you can see with the toast rack holding cinnamon toast.

The centerpiece is fresh fruit on a wire cake plate

The china is my yellow Fiesta.

I think the Fiesta creamer has such a cute shape, looks like their pitcher in miniature.

The flatware was purchased at Walmart about ten years ago.

The plaid napkins are April Cornell, purchased at Marshall's for about five dollars.
The tablecloth is from Home Goods ($12.)

Some of the hens got word about the rooster party and starting clucking indignantly about not being invited. To appease them I made a tablescape for them!

I used red gingham napkins for placemats and
a red and black bandana under the hens centerpiece.

The white plates are from Dollar Tree and the black square plates from Target. This little white creamer is from TJ Maxx (or Ross?) I had the other mini white pitcher. This is a breakfast table and pancakes will be served. The pitchers will have maple syrup in them.

Okay, are you hens happy now?
I bought both of these hens from Marshall's and Hobby Lobby.
I like the small one because she is an odd shape! Her head is down.

I bought this chicken at Ross, mainly because it is so silly looking!
I still haven't decided if it is a hen or rooster! Because
it is sitting I'm saying it's a hen!

I did a table for one tablescape using , a
brown plate placed on top of the yellow Fiesta
on a yellow plaid placemat and
a plaid April Cornell napkin

I forgot I had this little feather rooster ornament, I found it in the cabinet!
It is hanging from the knob on one of the kitchen cabinets.

Which is your favorite rooster and hen?

This one?

Or this one?

Or these?

I think this one is my favorite!

I hope he doesn't wake me up too early with his cock-a-doodle-doo!!

After I had taken all the pictures of this tablescape I realized I had forgotten to use the flowers I bought at Dollar Tree just for this!

I had taken the food away, but did more pictures anyway!

I hope you enjoyed seeing my roosters and hens!

Have a happy day!
God Bless.
