Hello Everyone!
It's time to show off our roosters.
They have been invited to party down at Bella Vista.

I love red and roosters so you know I grabbed this plate
quickly from Marshalls. At $3 I was doing the happy dance!
A rooster tassel and frame complete the vignette.

I'm ready for fall seeing these warm colors..JPG)
Roo is back taking center stage..JPG)
You might remember my elegant rooster dishes I boughtlast August at Cracker Barrel. They were a birthday
gift and since my birthday is tomorrow I thought I would
share a new tablescape with them. Has it really been a year?

The green goblets are from Target. The plaid placemats arefrom BB& Beyond. I found the woven chargers at Ross.

I have a set of rooster S/P shakers that were a gift.Gold rooster napkin rings are holding fringed napkins.
I finally found a rooster lamp at Kirklands!I've been looking for one since the last rooster party.
What a nice price for $12.
It's a beige resin with a burlap shade. 
I found a match to the lamp with this resin fruit picture.It came from Cato Fashions of all places.
I had no idea they also sell home decor items.
Chestnut enjoys milk as you can tell by his size.He says meow to all of you.
Have a wonderful week!

Such a beautiful table! I love all the colors!

Gorgeous table Melissa! Wonderful roosters!
You always get such great bargains Melissa ;-) I love the warm colors, they remind me of fall but are also very summery with the reds and orange reminding me of the hot summer sun too!
That reminds me, I should try and set my 'new' table and join in with TT tomorrow (can't do the rooster party as I have none... well, I have one tassel but that's about it!).
Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Jason has taken the day off so we'll get to enjoy the whole day with him.
hugs
Denise
Give me your little rooster lamp and no one gets hurt.
Di
Everything looks beautiful! I love the dishes from last year...I meant to buysome and they got away from me:(!
All of your roosters are darling...I bought one of the frames from Kristen too...aren't they cute?
Happy Birthday sweet girl! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!
Cathy
I love everything as usual! Hello to your kitty!!
That's a gorgeous table Melissa!
I just adore those dishes and your rooster lamp is fab!
Happy Birthday to you too!
Cindy
Yes, the years do tend to go faster, Melissa! : ) Love that lamp! I always see rooster lamps, but they are usually so expensive. Like you, I'd like to find something similar {except a bunny} in that size for my counter. Right now I have a small Target one until I get lucky!
As always, simply stunning!!
Lovely Rooster! Looking like fall at your house and I love it! Enjoy! Have the Happiest birthday yet! Give Chestnut a hug for me♥
Hugs, Lisa
Melissa,
I absolutely loved this past!!! Your roosters are so beautiful and beautifully displayed. I especially liked the lamp.
by the way, I am up to 32 pounds in weight loss. You have been such an inspiration to me.
Blessings to you today, my friend.
In Grace,
Marie
Happy Birthday! Love all your purchases...I have rooster accents in my kitchen as well. The plate is so colorful and fruit decorator plaque is so rich. Mr. Chestnut looks content too!Hope you have a great day and enjoy your special day. ~Emelia~
Happy Birthday sweet friend! Love the rooster lamp! You ought to see the one my Granny made a long time ago (she LOVED roosters!)- it must stand 2 feet tall! I think yours is a bit more my size!
Happy Birthday Melissa. Love the rooster lamp and the plates from Cracker Barrel as too cute. Great table.
Hi Melissa, I love the red and the greens. You know they would fit perfectly in my decor.
I wish I had those napkin rings. Soooo cute. Love the new lamp. Everything looks wonderful!
Hope you're doing well.
Melissa, those dishes were from Cracker Barrel? I missed those some how. I love them. Love the lamp you found at Kirkland's, too and what a buy.
Happy Birthday a wee bit early, Melissa! You've really got your roosters going...they look wonderful!
I'll post mine on Friday & if you pop by, you'll see that we have fraternal twins. LOL
I love your Home Sweet Rooster scape! I love the $3 plate (I scored one at TJ Mass this week, too!) and the Cracker Barrel dishes! WOWSERS! Gorgeous!
Happy Birthday!!!
Rachel
Beautiful, I love all of the colors!

Love all your roosters and I have seen that square plate at Marshall's...it is so vibrant and warm! Joni

HI Melissa and Happy Happy Birthday! I love your pretty Roosters. Your square red Rooster plate is gorgeous and that tablesetting is wonderful. Love your pretty dishes!!

Be a sweetie,

Happy Birthday to my fellow August baby! The table is gorgeous and I love all the roosters, however Mr. Chestnut steals the show! He is gorgeous!
Beautiful table ... love the green shade of the glassware. Beautiful wedding picture in your sidebar, too ... and we appreciate our military families. Thanks for sharing.
love your roosters. and your dishes are really grand. the colors are so welcoming.
Beautiful Roosters Melissa! Love the plate for $3...what a great buy! We went to Fayetteville today (a town about an hour away) to shop...yes I finally got to shop! and I saw some rooster dishes very similar to yours and loved them! I also saw those red flower plates at Pier 1 you have on your wall. I came very close to getting them, but restrained myself once again! I don't think I can hold off much longer!lol...love the little rooster lamp too, I went in Kirkland's today also, I'm helping a girl do a little decorating in exchage for some face treatments. She is an esthetition. I need some major help these days...I'm broke out all over! Anyway,she loves Kirkland's, they really do have some great stuff.
I'm so glad you recieved your items! Glad you are pleased!! Thanks again! Kristen
Love the green rooster dishes, Melissa...and all the other rooster things.
Happy Birthday Melissa!! You are very good to be setting the table for your own birthday! I wish I had those rooster dishes (I'll try closing my eyes and blowing pretend candles) and your centerpiece roo is beautiful! Have a great day! Linda
LOVE the table and the colors! I am so very anxious for fall and cooler temps. I always enjoy everything more at that time! The roosters are adorable ~
Have a blessed weekend!
Pat
P.S. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. Celebrate BIG!
Pat
your rooster plate is beautiful Melissa!!!! i love your table setting too! I wish I would have bought those at Cracker Barrel now!
You're the second blogger that I've found who finds great dishes at Cracker Barrel. I have to go there and check it out. I love the colors in your tablescape, and those goblets have to wonderful with many different settings. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
I'm just drooling because everything is so pretty Melissa.
Little Sophie enjoys a spot of milk every morning too. It's quite the routine we have. I pour a little in my coffee and a little on a saucer for her. :)
Just lovely! All those colors do make me long for fall! I love your touches Melissa!
Melissa,
Happy Birthday! I love your rooster plate. For $3 what a steal. I love the rooster dishes you found at CB last year too. The colors are gearing me up for fall, I can't wait. Everything is beautiful.
Sherry
Beautiful setting. It is so colorful and your rooster is gorgeous. I really love the resin fruit plate, the edging on that is exquisite.
Dearest Melissa,
You sure are not a person that wastes money; love you being such a bargain hunter! But I don't agree with your statement that you're ready for the fall... Time is going way too fast already so don't push it!
Greetings from Georgia
MariettesBacktoBasics
I have been eyeing that sweet rooster plate for a while too at Marshall's. It looks great on your table. You have some great roosters in your collection.
Gorgeous Melissa!! I love all the roosters. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful table.
Really lovley table Melissa! I'm loving all the fall colours...love it!!!

Hi Melissa, sorry it's been so long since I've stopped by, but i couldn't miss Barbs rooster party!
I see you've set a lovely table for your guests! Looks just awesome! So colorful and inviting!
P.S. Happy Birthday!!! and congrats on the weight loss too! Do feel as great as you look?!! I'll bet you do!
Take care and have fun!!
Hugs, Sherri:)
I love your tablescape almost as much as your Kitty...the rooster lamp is so cute!!!
Hi Melissa~ ~
Your table is lovely and your centerpiece is so lush and pretty.
~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
I love your dishes! I noticed them right off! I am going to have to drop into Cracker Barrel more often! I love your whole setting and those colors really do remind me of fall too! It's so beautiful!
Loving all of your roosters! That plate is wonderful, so vibriant! Come see my roosters!
Hugs,
Penny
Everything is beautiful as always!! I shop at Cato's too for home decor. I'm with you...who would have thought that they have decorating items? I have bought some beautiful frames there. Happy Birthday tomorrow!
I love your roosters, Melissa! I don't think I have a single rooster anywhere--a deficit in my home decor! I remember my mother had a cooper mold in the shape of a rooster. She and my father had received it as a wedding gift--it hung on their kitchen wall every single place they lived. :)
LOVE those warm colors! I'm ready for fall!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I think perhaps I'm exactly 11 months older than you--I was born 9/5/63. :)
My favorite rooster thing would be those sage rooster dishes that you got at Cracker Barrel. I'm fond of all things rooster, and those are very different from the "norm".
Happy Birthday!
(Gotta love a Leo.)
What beautiful dishware and accessories to celebrate with.
This is my first visit, Melissa.
What a warm inviting rich fall table setting. The colors are lovely & Roo is doing a beautiful job of overseeing all.
Have a lovely summer's day ~
TTFN ~ Marydon
Hey, Melissa !! Your table looks gorgeous ... love you added words to your centerpiece, too !! I love your rooster accents scattered around ... the square plate is perfect (love the vibrant red) and the canisters are just as pretty. I hope you're having a wonderful summer. Hugs, Becca
Oh, these colors are just so pretty together! I love your rooster plates. This is a beautiful table.
I LOVE the tablesetting! Your $3 rooster plate is so pretty, what a bargain!
Smiles,
Carol
Beautiful!
Melissa HAPPY BIRHDAY!!!!! Your dishes are soooooo beautiful and I love how they match your kitchen. How you find all these great things and make everything cordinate is amazing. Your roosters really add to the personality of your kitchen. One can never have too many roosters around :) Chestnut seems to like your dishes too!

Roosters and chickens always make a lovely show around the home.

Happy B-Day, Melissa! I like your green rooster dishes- the table does look warm and rich and so fall-like. My favorite time of the year... You have the smaller version of my red rooster plate. I saw it 2 days ago at Marshall's but already had my rooster post done. I'll save it and my pitcher that I forgot to unwrap for next year's party. LOL Always fun to pay you a visit! hugs, Sue

Wonderful roo dishes. I've discovered the more birthdays I have --- the faster they seem to come around.

Happy Birthday Melissa,
It is still your bday on west coast time even though we both are east coast time gals. You did an amazing job with the table. I love the plates & color combo.

Melissa, I WAS here - - - I LOVED the lines of your cabinets along that beautiful wood floor! I'm SURE I WROTE a comment, but you know, I realized on a couple that I may have clicked back to Bella Vista BEFORE I made sure I didn't have to fill in any word veri's or something AFTER I first hit publish comment, maybe I accidentally navigated away from this blog BEFORE my comment posted.
Well - - - now I've been here twice so you are either doubly blessed or doubly cursed!
WOW girl, you have 92 coments now!!!! I can barely believe you even MISSED mine the first time around!!!!
Have a very great weekend!
