It is another Tablescape Thursday with our hostess, Susan of Between Naps On The Porch. Please do stop by BNOTP to see what all the other beautiful tables look like, you will be in for a treat.
This tablescape was inspired by a gift from my sister, as set of four rooster chargers and four sherbet dishes. The chargers are a medium olive green with 5 roosters and a honeycomb center, maybe it is supposed to be chicken wire. She had heard me say that I didn't have a very large variety of green dishes, although green is my favorite color, so she was a sweetie and added to my addiction. Thank you, Jerry!
After checking the dish cupboard, I came up with solid green dinner plates, cream salad plates, yellow soup bowls, 5¼-inch cream/green bread plates and the green sherbets.
The rooster tureen, which was another gift, about 5 years ago from a GW friend from New Jersey. Thanks, Sheryl!

Great colors!! I love the green and yellow together. I could never participate in Tablescape Thursday....I have one set of dishes....white. It would make for a pretty boring post :-)
Those dishes are wonderful..perfect timing to send you green! I love the tureen too!
Lovely green and yellow table, M!
Mimi, I love the combination of plates and the rooster tureen. And what a thoughtful sister! You might be in the middle of nowhere, but you certainly know how to set a table.
I always like green, so relaxing to the eyes. I wondered where you got your chargers until I read. I won some from ebay in diferent colors but they have not arrived yet. Beautiful tablescape!..Christine
I'll take all the green I can get right now ;) Love the rooster chargers and tureen. Great combinations.
The rooster plates are adorable! My mom used to have those sherbert dishes, and what I would give to have them now. I love the mixed greens!
Happy St. Patty's Day!
Cheers, Andrea

Hi! Hey I love, love, love thrifting, too! It's my favorite thing to do (other than yard sales). I like your tablescape very much. Roosters are adorable.
I have a cat, Timmy, who looks EXACTLY like the cat in your header. He is the sweetest thing ever and lives for love. What is your cat like?
Have a wonderful day!
