Country Cluckers

It's time for another Tablescape Thursday with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Where does the week go! Today I'm featuring a few things from my booth and a few things from my house that I thought would pull together well for a country theme tablescape.
Here's a long shot with our ol' yellow lab Thunder observing the setup. He matches well with the red and yellow theme of the table!

I used yellow dinner plates with a cotton red and yellow paisley place mat underneath.



I love these rooster napkin rings. They are wood with hand painted touches.



I like the way the red checked napkin pops against the yellow plate.


Here is my rooster salt and peppers that match the cookie jar I set in the center of the table.


This vintage rooster is filled with gerber daisies I saw at Whole Foods yesterday. I had already planned to use the red geraniums, but I couldn't resist the daisies too.


Here's my cookie jar. I like that he's a color combination and not just one or two colors like most roosters.


A birds eye view of the table.



So apparently we do not get to have a beverage with this meal because I forgot the glasses! I was going to use a set of chunky glass tumblers that were my grandma's, but I guess I got too busy snapping pictures and forgot - sorry!

Here we are a dusk.



A long shot from the doorway to the patio.

Remember these petunias from last week? I teased you Monday with a promise that they held a surprise. Well, last Wednesday night I sat out on my porch for an hour after dark waiting for the "surprise" which never happened.


Ta Da! After some technical difficulty I now have the photos to show you the surprise - they light up at dusk. I think they look so pretty.



I hope you enjoyed my country tablescape. Please join Susan to see more great ideas. Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Your cheery table all decked out with the roosters is so fun. I love the mix of red, white and yellow. It makes me happy. And I love your napkin rings.
    But I'm wild about your surpise. I'm going to do that with my summer plants. Such a fabulous idea! Thanks for the inspiration.
