Time to show off your roosters and hens over at Sheila's
Heart of the Home Party. I always love a party -- especially a themed party! If you've been following along at Faithfulness Farm, you already know that I like chickens.......A LOT! I took part in Barb's Rooster Parties
last year and
the year before last.
This year, I already had my dining room sideboard all dressed in yard birds so I clicked a few photos and rushed right over to PARTY!!

My sideboard is just an old antique chest of drawers that stores my collection of napkins, tableclothes and placemats.

A red-checked-lined basket holds 4 *On The Farm* rooster plates from the David Carter Brown Collection (each plate depicts a different regal looking rooster), some red tin stars and a yummy apple scented candle. Chickens LOVE apples!

Isn't this gravy boat just wonderful? -- I suggest using the ladle though -- his gullet doesn't like giving up the gravy -- I must make thick gravy, lol.

Back in the kitchen, there are a couple scary looking vintage fighting cocks overseeing all that goes on. These were garage sale finds and someone had painted them burnt orange -- talk about scary, lol. Nothing a can of black spray paint didn't quickly fix.

Well, I better save something for the next party -- I think I'll put the kettle on to boil.
A BIG Thank-you to Miss Sheila -- such a lovely hostess!!
