Roosters and Roses

Hello, Dear Ones! Oh, I just love to play, don't you? I've set up a little vignette on my tiny little table in my breakfast room. Roosters and Roses!

I've laid down some of my white pieces and added some redness of flowers. Summer time coolness.


Now a few weeks ago I showed you my tiny little china cabinet in here and it was Rooster free! Just so you'll know some of my Roosters didn't go far! After all, I love the yard birds! :)


Smallness of white Rooster!


Biggerness of white Rooster!


I have this very small tureen that I took the lid off of and added some pretty redness of flower.


Then my big pretty white pitcher filled will redness of roses ~ fauxnes of roses!


Just gotta love my redness of faux roses. Can you love little redness of faux roses? Well, you bet your ouchy thorn pricks you can! :) Oh, I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again ~ I love my fauxs and my fauxs love me!


A special mosaic filled with fauxness! :) I just love this stuff! Summer coolness of fauxs!


I've put a small olden tablecloth on my table. It's just covered with the sweetness of little flowers! :)


There you have it! My tiny table dressed with whiteness of Roosters and Redness of flowers! :)

I'm joining
Our Dear Tablescaper for her Sunday Summer Party,

Our Dear Cielo at The House in the Roses for Show Off Your Cottage Monday,
Our Dear Mary at Little Red House for Mosaic Monday,

Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia :)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song~

Lady in Red


I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
And I've never seen that dress you're wearing
Or that highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes
I have been blind

Lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling such a feeling
Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

Lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red
lady in red
Lady in red
My lady in red
I love you

  8. A very festive table. Being a country girl of course I love the roosters. And the contrast between red and white - gorgeous.
    Thank you for showing me different memes and parties I was unaware of.
    Your comment about Romper Room started a discussion here and I had to do some research online.

  12. Thanks for visiting me. I love your red and white. Your lighting is so great inside. I am still learning. I spent some time with your other blog too. So much information. Thanks for making it a little easier for us newbies. Have a wonderful Sunday.

  13. It looks as though you are getting a head start on the rooster party later on this summer!
    Thanks for stopping by Applejack Lane today. I am continuing the saga of Kahlo so my daughter can see what he is up to while she is in Iceland!

  14. Sheila, I love all your faux thorny roses, too and I love all my faux flowers and gotta love them yard birds for sure!!!

    ReplyDelete

  15. Sheila, you have such beautiful taste. The red is striking and stunning. I loooove that big white pitcher. And your tablecloth is gorgeous under your vignette. I do love how you post all that's going on in blogland - Laura's votes, Sorority clubs, etc. Without you, I wouldn't be in the know! I'd be blogging blindly.

  16. A sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm. Thanks so very much for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment. I just love that little tablecloth with the sweet flowers all over it. You know, I used to stick my nose up at faux flowers but have started to change my mind about them. They add color and dimension to our little tablescapes and vignettes - and some of the faux flowers that I've seen recently look very real, so real that I've had to go over to touch them to make sure! Ciao, bella!

  20. Very pretty Sheila! Your faux flowers look almost real. I like the all white china pieces and rossters with the color red.
    Happy Mosaic Monday!

  21. Shelia, I love your "faux-ness", your roosters, and your red/white theme! I see nothing wrong with using something other than the "real" florals. And you know they last a whole lot longer than the real thing in my house- remember- I'm the one with the brown thumb! LOL
    Oh, and that tablecloth is adorable too! hugs, Sue

  26. Beautyness in all Shelia...love the white and red...I've just starting really liking those "olden" tablecloths...I guess another collection is calling my name!!!

  27. Sheila, Don't you love white pieces? And roosters? So when you combine both and have white roosters... I just swoon! These darlings are real treasures. And you can do so much with them, because they are white. I love the little finals they are perched on.
    Very sweet! You certainly have something to crow about!

  33. I love your vignettes, Shelia. The roosters are very pretty and so are the flowers. I use a lot of flowers too even though I grow a lot of flowers outside. I have a problem cutting flowers from live plants unless they are drying...Christine

  55. Another fabulous vignette ... the thing that I love with your presentations, Shelia, is that you can take one treasure & make it appear into treasureS so many times over. The colors & table covering are so warm & welcoming.

    Have a beau-TEA-ful week.

    THIS IS STUNNING.
    THE NAME "ROOSTERS AND ROSES" SHOULD BE THE NAME OF A BLOG.

    YEP! YOU PRODUCED A WINNER.
    HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK

  62. Shelia, you have a special way of making everything look so pretty. What more could a girl want than roosters and roses?

    I can't wait to read more about all the wonders you and Mr. Precious are doing.♥

  63. Beautiful Sheila! Those roosters are so unusual. I love the crisp whiteness of them and the old tablecloth is very cool. I love finding those at tag sales. Thanks for coming by my place. I have not found the song title song my folks wrote yet but have a few relatives that might know it...I will post it if I find it! Hope you had a great Fathers Day with your wonderful hubby.
