1/20 Tablescape Tuesday

Tablescape Tuesday Logo

It’s Tuesday which means it is time for Tablescape Tuesday hosted by Susan and her blog Between Naps on the Porch.

When I went to move Mr. Rooster and Mrs. Chicken from the center of the kitchen table I was asked, “Can’t you change the table and let them stay another week?” So if the table looks similar to last weeks Tablescape Tuesday …. yes..it is similar…but different!

room

I removed the platter they were both sitting on, and placed Mrs. Chicken on a small pedestal (I do hope Mr. Rooster puts her on a pedestal every once and awhile). I removed the three eggs and added the orange glass ball (I have a feeling Mrs. Chicken is eyeing it and thinking, “I did NOT do THAT!)

centerpiece

For the place settings I used my square Tuscan sunflower plates. The sunflowers go well with the one at the base of Mr. Rooster…..

place1

I love the big sunflower on the salad plate…..

place2

and the four little sunflowers in the corners of the dinner plates…..

place3

Thanks for stopping by and visiting my Tablescape Tuesday and don't forget to visit Susan's blog Between Naps on the Porch to see more wonderful table settings!
