A Country Dinner With Roosters

It's Thursday and time for Tablescape Thursday.

A big "Thank You" to Susan at Between Naps On The Porch

for hosting this event. Be sure to hop over to Susan's for all

beautiful tablescapes you will find there.

In honor of Fridays Rooster Party,

guess what I am incorporating into my tablescape?

You guessed it, Roosters.

Soooo here we go......

Well tonight we are having a simple country dinner.

Our food will be served from cast iron cookware, and

our place settings will be mixed and matched.

After all this is a country dinner in front of the

hearth.

The center piece is a bunch of sun flowers, I used blue

candles and my Great Grandmothers oil lamp.

My candle holders are all different, the blue and white

belonged to my Grandmother, and the other two are old

electrical insulators.

I have Rooster pot holders around the handles of the

cast iron pots, we must remember they are hot

when they come from the fire.

You can see the antique bottles. Each place setting has its own rooster.

A closer look at my Grandmothers candlestick, there are

no markings on it.

Rooster salt and pepper shakers.

The stand by iced tea glasses and just some everyday

glasses from a yard sale. I think they are old jelly glasses.

For the place setting, the desert cups are a thrift store

find, I found six for .50 each. The napkins are

dish towels I found two for .49, cut them in the middle

then you hem the end and a you have a country

napkin or at least my version. The place mat is actually

the napkin, just not today.

The blue salad plate is a discount store find.

Trusty Dollar Store flatware in blue.

And Mr. Rooster is from the Dollar Tree.

One last look before we eat. Oh look in the background, I see roosters and chickens

on the pillows.

My Mother made me these pillows a couple of

years ago.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Please feel free to leave a comment, suggestion

or question . I love hearing from everyone, and I

doing my best to reply to everyone.

My life is a little crazy right now. School

started today for my youngest, Cross Country

meets start tomorrow, my Mother has

moved back to her house in SC for the winter,

so I am now taking care of two houses.

Oh and lets not forget about the yard

work on two homes.

I just Thank the Lord everyday for my DH,

he is always ready to jump in and help.

And I am very blessed to have him.

I will see everyone tomorrow for

The Rooster Party.
