Late Summer Entry Table

Well after two weeks of moving boxes and finalizing the store, I have finally been able to focus on my house and begin to spruce things up a bit.

Too early for fall decor I decided to use sunflowers to brighten up the entry table. I apologize for this light in the pictures. It was getting ready to rain and the light outside was very strange.

These two roosters are just what was needed next to the sunflower bouquet. Varied heights add for interest.

I love this guy because he has a bee on him.

And this one has a butterfly.

Today I'm joining Marty at Tabletop Tuesday & Shelia at Notesongs.

Rooster Red Toile

As part of my continuing transformation

at the store, I re-did the back of the china cabinet in red toile paper.
As a nice accent to the paper, I selected roosters
as the theme for the display.

This cheery sunflower platter will brighten your day!

Mixing in yellow as the pop of color was perfect.

A little bee's and strawberry napkins.

I even tucked in accents

in the side shelves.

I'm joining Metamorphosis Monday, Tabletop Tuesday &

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!
