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.
