  4. Hi Susan,
    I like your rooster theme. That vibrant colors and the nice dishes remind me to a warm evening in Italy. This rooster plates are pretty close to Deruta style. Great tablescape as usual.

  10. Love your rooster plates! You can see from my post this week -- I had roosters in mind as well. Love the mixture of plaid napkins (I'm mad about plaid) with all your colorful dishes.

  11. Hi Susan, I am frustrated with the inlink system. It is not publishing my information other than my photo. It happened last week and it just happened again.
    I clicked to add my link. I put in my url. I put in my name and title of my post. I then put in my e-mail address. I clicked next step, and selected a thumnail. According to the help section, that should be all I needed to do. Then, it published with only a photo - #10 - no one else's published this way. What am I doing wrong, Susan? I was wanting to title it "Beth - Elegance in Red and a Giveaway" to publicize my giveaway. You fixed it for me last time and I do appreciate it.
    Even more so I would like to know what I need to do so it publishes not just the photo but my name and title. I am e-mailing you too so maybe you can respond to my e-mail with some assistance.
    Thanks, Beth

  30. Hi Susan, Thank you for hosting another TT! Your table is so fun. It looks like you are ready to celebrate cinco de Mayo!

    I love the pottery rooster and the Mexican inspired plates. A couple of years ago I was in Delores, Mexico and they are known for their beautiful bright pottery. Your plates so remind me of the ones I saw. I just love the handpainted rooster glasses too. You have tied in this fun theme and color scheme so well! Muy bonita!
    YOur table is lovely, as usual and a real delight for the eyes. Ole'

  42. hi Susan - in each photo, I was drooling over the red candlesticks, and then you revealed they were from good ol' Hobby Lobby. Where would i be without that store?!

    ReplyDelete
  43. The red burgundy color of the candlesticks are so rich...love the little rooster bowls! The red and yellow look wonderful together.. I have some dishes that match your rooster bowls..but they are just luncheon plate size. Everything is so pretty as always.

The little plates are adorable, as are the pretty glasses. And that centerpiece! So nice!! Thanks for another great one, Susan.

    Another lovely tablescape. I love the red and yellow.
    The new linking system is wonderful. Had trouble getting the thumbnail but I was too impatient I guess.

  53. Ok, I clearly need to get the photography thing down a little better. I only take one or two...

    And those close-up shots are so lovely!

    Plus, I just don't set enough fancy tables. This was the first time I thought I had anything interesting to talk about on this link. (But it was still mostly about how it went not-quite-the-way-I-meant-it-to.)

    Ok, I'm just going to break out the good china more often!
