Roosters and Sunflowers Tablescape

Since it is County Fair time in our area, Pat thought it would be fun to do a "farm" table this week. So, she pulled out an assortment of animal plates and decided on roosters. Here is the table that she came up with:

Over view of the table

Close up of the place setting

Pat used rustic "Montana" flatware by Gourmet Settings

Vintage Cobalt Fiesta luncheon plate

Spice Route Paprika dinner plate is from Pier 1

We found these denim chargers on sale at Michael's for less than 50 cents each - then we got the "senior discount" (one of the few "advantages" to aging......)

Pat says that we probably have been using these placemats too much, but they were the perfect choice for this table

Only my sister would turn a chicken feeder into a candle holder......

Naturally, it was filled with chicken feed

I love these whimsical glasses from Pier 1 

This very old rooster belonged to our Mother and sat outside on the porch. Pat's husband took it home and "lovingly" restored it.

The napkin "ring" is a vintage shower curtain ring that Pat's husband spray painted rust to match the napkin.

I don't usually "get on the bandwagon" when I am blogging, but I'm in "Bread and Butter Plate mourning".....Homer Laughlin is no longer producing those colorful little gems, and as most people know, I am nuts about bread and butter plates. So, after waiting for a very long time for the color "sage" to be produced, I am not going to be able to get the much anticipated bread/butter plate. What a diabolical disaster (yeah, I know, it sounds like Batman, but it's how I feel)!!!!

Just some of the Fiesta that Pat and I own......the bread/butter plates are in another cupboard.
