Welcome to the 36th Table Top Tuesday. I am so enjoying all of the wonderful vignettes everyone is creating inside and outside their homes. You guys are always such a wonderful inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing all of your lovely creations.
I've changed things twice. I know, I am nuts!!!!
When you find new treasures, of course you just have to play don't you!!! I redid the island vignette so I could use my new frenchy rooster tin that I found at Tuesday Morning.
I thought it would be a huge upgrade from the basket for my faux fruit. I placed a black napkin inside and left the edges show a bit. I also added the cute little lime colored rooster to the mix. Fun, bright and cheery.
Of course I had to play with the new rooster candlestick I found too, so I rearranged a few things in the corner vignette so it would work. I put the lime ball on top.
Of course I wipe down and clean the kitchen everyday, but once a week when I do my major cleaning, everything gets moved and all the counters and accessories get a thorough cleaning. I decided to do a major change in the corner arrangement and make it a little simplier.
I took the rooster tray off the wall and moved the new rooster tin over to the corner. I removed quite a few things from the previous vignette and this looks a lot less cluttered to me.
Love the detail and the colors on this wonderful tole tray.
Several things stayed including the rooster candlestick with my lime ball and the demijohn.
The frenchy rooster tin is sitting on a black and white check tea towel that I had.
My little speckled rooster, wheat bundle and chef remained.
Nice to see the rooster tray down close for a change.
Moving things around meant a small change on the island too. lol The scales and a pumpkin replaced the tin of fruit.
I always think I am going to minimize all the accessories and have something simple, then when I looked at this, it isn't very minimal. Guess I havn't learned that trick yet. lol When I clean again next week, who knows what I will change. lol
Thanks so much for stopping by. I always look forward to your visits. I can't wait to see what you've been up to this week.

Ohhh...and that fabulous black rooster tray is the perfect backdrop for that pretty new basket...the black really makes everything stand out! That tray is gorgeous, Marty!!!

And...I like the old scale and cheery green rooster over on your island! Another beautiful vignette, Marty! Girlfriend, I just don't know how you do it! To come up with sooo many different, creative vignettes! I stand in awe!!! Thank you for sharing your new pretties and new vignettes with us, Darlin'! This is always such a treat!!!

ReplyDeletePretty kitchen counters, Marty! Love what you've done here.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty, those roosters are just great....especially the one with the black dots - soooo cute! Love the scale and the demijohn. Those are 2 things that I would like to have in my kitchen! Linda
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, there's something wonderful for everyone here! I love the wheat with the demijohn, and the white rooster on the left (I'm so predictable! Ha!) Thanks Marty!
ReplyDeleteLove your vignettes, Marty. You are so artful, they look like still life paintings again....Christine

The vignette change queen....that is your new title! Love that wicker bottle thingy!! Looking for one of those!!
ReplyDeleteHi Marty! I love your vignettes...especially the roosters! You have such a nice collection! Have a great week!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteI love all your country French style vignettes. I love that new green hen. That is purdy!
ReplyDeleteI like that green hen too! I like the white one, the big acorn, and a lot more. You have some nice vignettes going on!
ReplyDeleteSherry
Very pretty! You have so many pretty things to work with. Was in an antique mall last Friday and did not see a single demijohn, which is a good thing as I don't have room for one anyway. :D I had one many years ago and think I sold it in a yardsale.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting again this week. - you are appreciated.
Marty,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate how the black toile rooster tray makes a dramatic backdrop for your vignette. It is striking! Thank you for giving us permission to "shake it up a bit" in our displays. (Notice the second half of that word is. . .plays?)
Fondly,
Pat
The green hen is darling and to heck with minimal!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vignette Marty. Your new rooster is so pretty. Very different.
ReplyDeleteI saw those candle holders at Ross.
They had different sizes. I was so tempted....
Hi Marty!
ReplyDeleteYour newly arranged groupings look wonderful. I am so glad here are others out there that redo over and over again. LOL It just keeps it fresh. And like you said, by the time you do the weekly deep cleaning, you're ready to change it up a bit.
Have a terrific week!
Another gorgeous vignette, Marty. I so love the first picture ... you & Shelia sure love those roosters ... & create such awesome settings with them. Love seeing what you'll do next ...
ReplyDeleteHave a BOO-TEA-FUL week!
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon
Your vignettes are always changing and I love that because they give me ideas!! Sometimes to unclutter, other times to arrange things a little more carefully. But I ALWAYS get ideas! Thanks, Marty!
ReplyDeleteLove the rooster tray!
XO,
Jane
Marty, Love the new vignettes. You have such a wonderful rooster collection. Beautiful tray and I love the green rooster on the island. Thanks for hosting and for sharing such great inspiration. Sandy
ReplyDeleteI like how you've "moved things around". I especially like the scale. Gives me new ideas on how I might use mine.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Rita
You have such beautiful taste. I love your vignettes.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty,
ReplyDeleteI apologize for forgetting to post a comment to you. I posted the TTT, then went in to prepare supper, and forgot when I returned!
You are so good to leave comments, most of the other "big bloggers" don't leave them to everybody anymore. Thank you for doing it! I don't know how you do all you do, lady!! And do it well, I might add!!
I always enjoy seeing what you come up with on your blog! Love that lime green rooster! All the vignettes are really neat, but I think I like the one with the scales on the island, and all the little roosters on the counter under the cabinets!
Thanks so much for visiting me! You're the best!!
Katherine
Beautiful vignettes...love that rooster tray!
ReplyDeleteKristen
Everything looks beautiful, Marty.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting.
You never cease to amaze me Marty!
ReplyDeleteWeek after week you think of something new!
I love the new rooster and I love the Rooster tray!
And the colors really pop!
Hugs to you,
Cindy
Very nice!! Love that rooster and the scale! Too cute! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteMarty,I just love to see where your chickens roost!!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you Marty! I hope you like my pretty purple cauliflower display! Thanks for all the great ideas!
ReplyDeleteSweet Marty, love your Rooster tin, it is fun to see the different ways you have found to use it!!! Great ideas, Miss design diva!! love you,Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI always love your changes - it's fun to see what you are up to! Sally
ReplyDeleteLove it! So fall-ish and festive!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great eye! I love all of your arrangements!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, great inspiration. I enjoy your blog so much.
ReplyDeleteMarty, you have SO many wonderful items to play around with. I just how you rearrange them to make them new & different. Inspiring for sure!
ReplyDeleteI have decided that you can take anything and display it in such a way as to look different and pretty. Of course, it all looks wonderful, but when you brought the toile tray down and put it behind the stuff, that was my "inspirational" moment. It was basically just oooh and ahhh after that.
ReplyDeleteAnd how cool is the lime ball?
I love the rooster candlestick it's on, too.
Marty,
ReplyDeleteI love your tabletops, but this one is special. I just love the roosters, you have a gift.
hugs,
Donna
Once again...lovely surprises! I love the rooster theme with autumnal items. My favorite is the polka dot hen and the chef.
ReplyDeleteI now have a new perspective on wiping down the counters. A time to play with my pretties!!
Thank you for dropping by and your kind comments,
Blessings, Pam
Your kitchen looks so fun and festive! I love the demi john and wheat display.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks wonderful Marty!!! Thank you so much for hosting! :)
ReplyDeleteI forgot I had taken a picture of my cat on top of my dinning table. I thought of your Table Top party's and snapped the pic for you. I need to send it to you. :)
Marty, your arrangements always look great. I'm always inspired!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Those arrangements are beautiful. I love how you can pull out just a couple pieces of the larger design and make a gorgeous still life picture of one or two items.
ReplyDeleteHello Marty, Hope you are well. I've done my post to link in.. but cant find your inlinkz for some reason. Please can you link me in..

Sorry!! thanks so so much! :-)
Oh.. and your arrangement is simply gorgeous.. You are my true inspiration!
Loved the bundle of wheat and the rooster.
ReplyDeleteWonderful combinations! It is fun to play with accessories! I especially love the new rooster and the acorn! Thanks for more Tuesday fun!
ReplyDeleteFabalous vintage collection... Roaster tray is very beautiful...
ReplyDeleteHey Marty! I love the new corner display. It really does look less cluttered. I love the darker tray in the background! I go from being less cluttered to more cluttered and back and forth all the time. So you are not the only one who hasn't mastered that yet! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Marty! You have so many wonderful things to accessorize your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteOkay, first of all Marty, I have to say... EVERYTHING is GORGEOUS!!! I love the way you decorate and the wonderful things you collect. Just beautiful. You're right, you have to play with your new goodies when you get them (and your old ones too!).
ReplyDelete;-) You're not nuts. I think it's great fun to move things around and come up with various ways of using them in decorating. I think that's our way of playing as adults. We don't just take care of the house, we play with it too. lol
Thank you for sharing your very lovely photos of your gorgeous kitchen and roosters/fall displays. I very much enjoyed visiting with you today.
Blessings and a beautiful day to you,
Susan
You two have so much talent. A truly stunning make-over. Thanks so much for sharing! :)
