My New Rooster


I have been playing again in the kitchen.  One of my favorite places to play.  I showed you my little white rooster that I painted to match my yellow pig here.


The color turned out pretty good, so I had to start playing.


This corner of the kitchen gets the most changes, and of course the Rooster and the Pig had to play.


My scales with some cork fruit.


A rafia carafe, a sunflower and some leaves.


He wanted to get all dressed up, so he's wearing a couple of ribbons.


My little frenchy pitcher holds some flatware and the backdrop with the basket tray and a plate help tie everything together.


Mr. Pig still thinks he's the prettiest.


Don't you love to play, and it's totally free.


I am linking to the following parties:


Open House Thursday @ No Minimalist Here
Feathered Nest Friday @ French Country Cottage
Home Sweet Home Friday @ The Charm Of Home


Thanks so much for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits.
