While I do love my black , white and apple green table scapes, sometimes I just feel the need to dine in Color and today I choose multiple color but with strong dashes of red. Its all the fault of the sweet rooster salad plates I found at Kmart.. Yes I said Kmart. somewhere I rarely look for things but after finding these I'll be checking there more often. set of 4 ~ 7.99, which I felt was a fair price. Micro and dishwasher safe , nice and sturdy with a good weight.. I wasnt expecting them to be of such nice quality but I am thrilled with them.

I found this scrap of fabric in my stash to use as a tablecloth. I tried using my black and white toile but it just wasnt working for me. Now next time Tommy, my darlin dh, asks me if I REALLY need all the fabric in my containers I can say with ferver, YES I DO, and then show him why..
I'm developing a real love for all things Rooster. I dont follow fads so when a few people told me roosters were on their way OUT , my answer was Good, take them OUT of your home and send them over to Mine:-)
Just a few views of the table and oh my goodness I almost for my new basket find from goodwill, 2.00 and now cherished by me..
Thank you so much for visiting my newest tablescape and Me..You are always welcome and very much appreciated. Stop by anytime. Theres always hot coffee, sweet tea and cold soda for you and we'll scrounge up some snacks too...
Happy March 1st to you and yours

Sonny it looks awesome! K-mart has some good stuff, there just not one close enough anymore! I like Walmart too, I just bought a beautiful comforter BH &G and I can't wait to use it! Have a great day!
ReplyDeletePattie , Hi there.. Kmart lets you shop online and the shipping fee is very fair if you dont want to drive to one.. They dont always have all the things in store you can find on there site.. so happy to see you and thanks so much..

Morning Debbie. I need to go to your site and get your email addy as I have a couple questions for you.. Glad to see your smiling face this morning and thanks so much...
Great day to both of Ya'll
Those are cute plates. I don't have a K-mart anywhere near me, maybe I will look on line.
ReplyDeleteI never worry about what's "out". I can't (and don't want to) be changing out my decor just to keep up with what's new at Pottery Barn.
Talk to you soon ;)

Wow-I have that same teapot cookie jar!!! Same color too! I believe it belonged to my grandmother. Mine still has the Apco label beneath it. I've only seen one other of it--in a specialty store, and it was going for quite a bit of money, so you got quite a bargain!! I didn't have it out on display for awhile, but seeing yours displayed inspired me to take it back out! It's now in the middle of my dining room table!
ReplyDeleteLooks like I posted that comment on the wrong page, but I think you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI love your roosters! I wish Kmart was near. lol
ReplyDeleteYour table is so pretty! I just love it.
This is a lovely table! I love the Roosters!

Sonny, this is gorgeous and the fabric is the perfect choice for the tablescape. I love roosters and your new dishes are just fabulous. What a great find. All of the dishes and accessories are so pretty together. Love it all. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSonny, those plates look great. Roosters will always stay around. They are a county French staple. Are those the country living plates at K-mart. I saw them in a magazine and haven't gone yet. I love them. Perfect for my kitchen. I love how you set your table. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, lovely, Sonny! Some sweet tea would sound good right about now! : ) $7.99 for 4 ~ really? That is a great price! I may have to get these for my Mom for Mother's Day. She's a rooster nut {like I'm a bunny nut!} and I'll bet she'd love these.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!

This is the part of posting that makes it all worth it..I agree with all of you about Roosters.. They RULE:) My neighbor has had one about 6 years and he is my alarm clock and a real handsome fella too. I'm on a rooster hunt now so if I find any in my wanderings I'll be sure to rush back here and let ya know. Thank you so much for commenting, it means so much to me.. I need to blog about just that issue too...
ReplyDeleteHappiest of Days to each and every one of you..

I love our tablescape........love, love, love Roosters. I'm from Canada and we use to have K-Mart here all the time but years ago for some reason they have closed them down, so my next trip over the border to Buffalo I will go and look around .
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those great pictures.
I love this! I don't care what they say is "in" or "out." I like what I like. This is so beautiful. We don't have a K-Mart, but I can look online.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hi Sonny. Thanks for coming by. I remember you with the cute teapot! I took the time to go through your whole blog. Hey girl, you like black and white too! Although my home is really more black and cream and tan...but I love your home. Beautiful. And you live in the Carolina's - God's country!!
ReplyDeleteI became a follower today...so i will be back soon! Have a great week!!
Hello Sonny, Your table looks lovely. Thanks for your prayers.
ReplyDeleteHi Sonny...
ReplyDeleteOhh my, I'm just now having the time to make my way around the Tabletop party! I'm so glad that I came by your place...I love, love, LOVE your table! You know, I have been "eyeing" those same rooster plates from Kmart...had seen them online but wasn't sure about the quality! Since you have said that they are nice...I may just have to get them! Hehe! They sure make for a pretty table!!! I love how you alternated the white and red in your place settings...very pretty! Oooh...and the fabric that you used for the tablecloth...gorgeous!!! Love your beautiful stacked trays with all the fruit! Ohhh...and that little white porcelain basket is simply gorgeous! I think I need it! Hehe! In my post for Tabletop Tuesday, I used a white teapot that looks very similar to the basket...they would make a beautiful team!
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful table with us, my friend! I also wanted to tell you that this is my very first visit to your blog and I have found it absolutely delightful! I am adding you to my list of blog follows and look forward to getting to you know! So very nice to meet you, Sonny!!!

I'm not normally a rooster lover (don't ask about me being chased by a road runner)but those plates are truly the exception. They are adorable!! I would definitely forget about my fear of large birds and enjoy those plates.
ReplyDeletei am a long time rooster lover/collector (25+ years) and I keep them in my kitchen whether they are "trendy" or not!! I love the red plates..is that part of the Country Living collection? I'll be seeking out a Kmart to get my own set! Thanks for sharing!
