Crowing Rooster Tablescape and a winner announced!

Last week, I did blue and white. This week, black and white. Wonder if this will be a trend? I'll run out of dishes before long if it is!! Anyway, I hadn't brought out these French-feeling dishes in a while. 

The last time I used them, I paired them with red. Same placemats, different glassware and flatware.

See this post HERE.

I promise little talk and lots of pictures. And I'll announce the winner of the two flower bricks. I wish I could have given everyone a flower brick, maybe next time? 

I set this up for Sunday brunch. Fixed a Eggs Benedict Casserole for breakfast. Served with fresh fruit, coffee and orange juice. Something good for after early church services.

 

Brought out the good Dollar Tree crystal - yet again. The plates are heavy and so a heavier weight glass fits the bill perfectly and rounds out the setting.

The simple green ivy plant makes a perfect centerpiece. Not overdone and since green is really a neutral, doesn't fight with the colors on the table.

Cast:

Placemats - can't remember

Dishes - store Hulla B'lu Lubbock, but no mark on dishes

Flatware - Horchow

Napkins - can't remember

Napkin rings - Stein Mart

Salt and Peppers - Fitz and Floyd and unknown

Glassware - Dollar Tree

Ivy plant - Lowe's

White pitcher - One Kings Lane

And the winner is:

I used Random.org to pick a winner. I placed all comments into a designated email folder, I had a few who sent me emails because they get the post via email, and wanted to be in the drawing. Luckily the time stamp kept all messages in order, ones from the blog post intertwined correctly with the ones via email. Woohoo when technology works.

Oh yeah, you really want to know who won...

Who was #24?
