Waverly La Petite Ferme Spice--I LOVE YOU!

Hey y'all! I'm joing Marty over at AStrollThruLife for Tabletop Tuesday! Actually, it's my first time at this party, and I'm afraid my tabletop is a bit lame. I promise to better next time:)

This is our breakfast table...on a normal day. I guess these pictures are more about the fabric I'm using in the kitchen now. I was using a black fabric with gold fleur de lis from Ballard Designs, but I switched it all up for 'La Petite Ferme Spice', by Waverly.

Here's the breakfast table with the placemats and coordinating gingham napkins...not to forget the rooster plate rack and napkin rings, of course!

May I say how much I adore this fabric? Roosters and toile and gingham...I simply cannot stand the cuteness!

The valance has gingham tabs and the door shade has burgundy grosgrain ribbon to tie it up!

I probably have posted a photo of the oven mitts before, aren't they the cutest? {Probably more appropriate for Oven Top Tuesday}
And, the coordinating gingham runner on my island...

Thank you for visiting with me today, now hop over to Marty's site for Table Top Tuesday!

DECORATING THE KITCHEN ISLAND

After all of the Christmas holiday decorations came down, everything in the house looked sooooo empty! I want a very cozy feeling in my cottage, so I'm constantly doing things to make it feel homey! This is the small island in my kitchen--take a peek...
Now y'all, ever since I went to see the movie 'It's Complicated,' I am craving chocolate croissants all the time. I confess that I didn't bake these beauties, I bought them at The Fresh Market Grocers. They are ridiculously good! {If you saw the movie, didn't you just love that scene with Meryl Streep and Steve Martin in her bakery...making those croissants...} By the way, I loved everything about that movie...her home, her kitchen, her bakery, that outfit she wore in the opening scene, Alec Baldwin--oh, I just loved it all!


My assistant in the kitchen here at "The Roost," I would like to introduce to you Jean Paul.


Love bunnies everywhere...


My pot rack...


Love this little rooster, made for me by Nancy at SouthernLady-Nancy...


Y'all know about the gingham issues I have. Here's a cute little gingham runner and some towels hung on the side of the island...


Jean Paul and I both want to say "Merci" for stopping in to visit with us today.
