Hello, Dear Ones.
Now I'm all for milking a subject here at Note Songs cottage and since my kitchen was all spiffed up for Jeanne and Bill's visit, I just had to show you my clean kitchen corners.
Don't get me wrong, the rest of my house was fairly clean too! ;)
If you visit me often, you know how I love to play in my kitchen corners
so I set up a couple of vignettes for my two corners.
This corner is kind of a more elegant Rooster vignette
as most of the time I'm just falling down plumb silly vignetting! :)
My Most Handsome Rooster just had to be included here
and he's carrying a bit of greens with him.
I poked down this new to me gravy boat with its attached underplate.
Since my favorite Rooster loves his fruits and veggies I added a few clusters of grapes.
Now over to my other kitchen corner.
I wanted this to be a girly girly corner vignette.
I know, I know, purple doesn't usually fit in a kitchen.
But my yellow bead board seems to be a great backdrop for almost any color...so purple it is! :)
Here's a sweet little tea cup being very girly girly.

See my cute little teaspoon?
Well, it's not purple, but it sure is cute, don't you think?
Then I added a sweet little tea pot with purple pansies on it.
The cup and tea pot are sitting on a crocheted doily my granny made many moons ago
and then it's placed on top of my square milk glass cake stand.
See, I told you...girly girly.
I poked down a tiny little cloche with a little sprig of lavender (faux, of course) underneath the glass.
The cloche is sitting on a sweet little tray covered with purple flowers.
Since I'm all set for tea, I added a napkin and a cute little crescent roll (faux, of course).
Just in case you want to add jam or butter, I've poked down a tiny little bunny knife.
Cute and girly girly!
So I think I've milked my clean kitchen for all it's worth now.
I have a sink filled with dirty dishes and junk's all over the cooktop.
Shoot! Now I've got to clean up the kitchen again! :)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Man! I Feel Like A Woman!
Let's go girls! Come on.
I'm going out tonight-I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise-really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions-make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The girls need a break-tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance-we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

Loe your corners. They look wonderful. I love your rooster, so pretty and the teacup in the soft purples, how pretty is that. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeletesuch pretty corners you have made. I especially love the white and purple.
ReplyDeleteLavender is pretty in every room in the house! I actually heard that from Nate Berkus! And you have such pretty nooks and corners! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour corners are beautiful! Love the tea set in the corner and that touch of purple.
ReplyDeleteI love your vignettes! I only have one corner on my counter to decorate and that holds a TV. I love the violet teacup and saucer. It's one of my favorite flowers.
ReplyDeleteMiss Shelia your kitchen corners look so pretty! Love the rooster filled with greenery and love that sweet little spreader with the rabbit on it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you had clean counters when Jeanne & Bill visited - I'm sooooo proud of you! :P Seriously...your counters look wonderful! I really love the Pansy TeaPot!!! So pretty! And who ever said purple didn't belong in a kitchen was wrong!!
ReplyDeleteJan ♥
Sheila,
ReplyDeleteYour corners look so bright and cheerful. Love the colors you've used. Purty!
Your vignettes are so pretty! Love the greenery in the rooster! :)
ReplyDeleteHi darling, I love your teacup corner. Your rooster is just too handsome for words. Out of all the teacups I have I don't have a purple one.. I might have to try and correct that little problem..lol
ReplyDeletehugs ~lynne~
Love, love, your rooster vignette, somehow chickens seem to always look so right in kitchens. This is great!
ReplyDeleteShelia: That's what happens when your start pokin' stuff around, you end up with messes to clean up! Welcome to my world! But when you look at those pretty corners, then it's all worth the clean up, right? Love that rooster..Happy Saturday..Judy
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in to visit ~ As always your are on top of your corners and they are just
ReplyDeleteB-E-A-U-tiful...love them!

ReplyDeleteI officially name you the "Corner Queen". You are definitely the girl with the best corners. I know Jeanne would have loved both of these corners, and she would have especially loved the girlie corner. She is a girlie that loves purple flowers. And, you are a girlie that always makes things pretty. The two of you are a perfect pair.♥
Wow your vignettes are both adorable! You are good at it! I am reminded of some lilac accented pieces I picked up on Mackinac Island a few years ago. I couldn't decide what to do with them but your vignette with the violets and pansies has inspired me! Love the bunny knife!
ReplyDeletevery cute corners! I keep collecting more of the large, junky stuff so girly corners are not much of an option for me any more, I do have a girly room or two so I am still doing ok ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of you! I want a visit with Jeanne and Bill, but sigh, I'll have to wait.
ReplyDeleteI adore that precious teaspoon.
Your corners are always the best Shelia! I especially love the pansy teapot - adorable. Thanks for sharing!!! Jane
ReplyDeleteI am loving your purple! That dainty little teacup is precious.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I have been in other worlds for awhile and now I am trying to catch up. Missed a lot of post. Richard from My Old Historic House.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful corners. The vignettes are eye catching. Love the little teacup and the lavender looks lovely with the cloche.
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteAdore your kitchen corners! My favorite has to be the girly purple! Although, Mr. Roo looks mighty handsome, too! That gravy boat is gorgeous! I did some kitchen counter vignette changing this weekend, as well. "Mr Ed" knows there will be some "great food" cooked this week, as a new vignette can be so inspiring to this cook!!!Ha!
Fondly,
Pat
Actually, the purple corner of your kitchen is my favorite! I have become very fond of that color against white (as you probably know). Those teacups with the purple flowers are so pretty! I'm sure your kitchen is no different from everyone elses (regarding the dirty dishes in the sink). I know mine doesn't stay cleaned up very long with the kids home for the summer. It's all I can do to keep groceries in the house now too! I will finally get my clean kitchen back in the Fall. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYour vignettes are put together so well! I love roosters and purple and yellow go really well together. Love the Shania Twain song. Hubbie and I went to see her a few years ago and she gave a great concert! She was very warm and friendly with the crowd. Just became a new follower. I see your comments on many blogs that I visit and popped over here to see you. Love your blog! I'm going to quit chatting and take a look around to see what I've been missing.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI adore pansies and the ones on your cup and saucer are lovely...that is the cutest little spoon too. Your roosters and grapes go so well together.
It looks like you had fun making your vignettes.
hope you stay cooler tomorrow..
Judi
Sheila, your corner vignettes are lovely. You know, I never thought about doing the corners of my kitchen counter...don't know why. Now you have me thinking I need to revisit my kitchen counter. The purple tea set is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the purple and yellow; probably an LSU thing!!! That rooster looks great, too. Beautiful vignettes!
