Something to Crow About

Dishes, Dishes, Everywhere!!!!

When will I stop?

Ok, so I have a weakness 

but I use every dish -

I don't "save" them -

I "enjoy" them.

Actually, I am not to blame for

having these adorable rooster

plates in my kitchen.

My sweet daughter found these

and thought of me.  A-h-h-h

Four different "Cocky" designs

Tuscany Rooster

from

Italy

"La-te-da!!!"

I'm enjoying seeing them on my cabinet top for now.

The little bird house with the fall colors

is a gift from a friend -

she went on vacation,

I stayed home,

 watered her plants

and got this cutie.

Actually, a bird flew in the house

a couple of weeks ago and

would have enjoyed settling in here,

but we made him leave. 

WHY do those little birdies

like to roost in my wreath on the

front door?

If anyone knows how

to prevent this, please let me know.

Have a blessed day!

Stay warm.

Fall moved in today

with

rain, wind and chil-l-l-l-ly temperatures.

The leaves are falling

and fall is in the air.

I even received a magzine in the mail today

 with lots of Christmas

recipes and ideas. 

It won't be long.



Fall Fun

What's a girl to do when she's got "fall fever"?

Ya know - when  it's just too pretty to stay inside and clean?

Well, she grabs her guy and heads out to some yard sales -

and, they were all over the place

yesterday and we only hit about 10.

But, it was worth few $$ we spent "sal-ing"!!!

~ Lucky finds ~

This basket of farm fresh goodies were

found at the local Farmer's Market.

The supper table this week

will have some

fresh turnips

fresh greens

and

baked sweet potatoes.

YUM YUM!

Apple Pie made with apples from the local orchard.

(Girls, this is the recipe from the

September Southern Living.

Be sure to put a tray underneath

to catch the drips.)

Easy to make

and oh so good!!!

Yard Sale finds -

Pretty silver pedestal dish

(Wm. Rodgers)

and cute pewter

bunny napkin rings

I will use next spring.

Now, y'all might not call this a cloche,

but it's a cloche to me and for

one thin dime,

I'm liking it a lot!!!

Adorable!



And the price was right on this

pepper shaker (free) to

match the salt shaker we already have.

I can see my new "cloche" with a stack

of chocolate chip cookies underneath.

Do y'all make this stuff?

Peanuts and candy corn!

We make it every fall -

and this year we found

caramel candy corn to mix

with the chocolate candy corn.

A tasty treat.

No cookies in my kitchen today,

so the pumpkin sits pretty under my fun find.

Happy Fall Y'all



Fabulous Fall

...just loving this beautiful fall weather

we've been having the last few days. 

I'm not ready to let go of summer yet,

but the crisp mornings,

pleasant days with clear blue skies

and cool evenings

have been such a welcomed relief

from the hot days of summer.

With the change of weather,
I've had a change in my decor a bit too. 

Now, I know that comes as a big surprise!!!

I've been seeing these pieces of fruit

made from all natural materials.

I thought it would be a nice change
from the traditional pumpkins and gourds.

Peeking out from under the napkin is

another set of new dishes I couldn't resist.

Then, I found these pretty

placemats last week

"ON SALE" of course.

And then, I wanted new napkins

(see how one things calls for another)

 to tie it all together.

So, I found this cute fabric and made these.

More roosters flew into my kitchen.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

God Bless You and Yours
