Somethin' to crow about...

Which came first...

the Chicken, or the Egg...

or the Rooster?

Well, if we know Roosters, we'd know they think it's all about them!

Here's a vintage group from my kitchen counter,

raising a ruckus.

Roosters fit right in whether you're decor is French Country,

Farmhouse,

or "French Farmhouse"!!

A little box I found a few years ago,

and look it has an "egg" in it.

Hmm... a rooster with an egg?

My sunroom baker's rack has a summer farmhouse theme going

Here is another fella sort of "chalky"

and very colorful.

And a teensy chalk hen on a nest

This cutie little vintage planter definitely needs some ivy on it's backside

 

And this mom and baby are another vintage set

 that is hollow on the inside

some sort of chalk, cement-y mixture.

Love them!

The Entry

I love an Entry Hall. It sounds so "English Manor House" to me. "The Entry"... In reality we all have one whether our home is large or small, grand estate or intimate cottage. If you have a front door...then you have an "entry". One thing I remember hearing is that it always needs a mirror. You know, a place to check to see if you are "presentable" to whomever it is that's arriving. Hair in place, no broccoli in your teeth, try to eliminate the scary factor so the UPS guy will be sure and show up next time.

So here are some photos of mine. If you've been with me a while you've seen it before, but just for the fun of it, pretend it's new! Well, I DO like to keep the faux flowers current, I'm just about to break out the sunflowers and Blackeyed Susan's, just been too busy painting furniture to brave the storage room boxes.
