A few people have asked me what I was going to do with the vegetable baskets that I showed you in yesterday's post.
Well, since I have some green in my kitchen I thought I might redo my kitchen table with the short green one.
I had decorated it a few weeks ago with some ironstone
So I put a kitchen towel down as a runner
and added the squat green vegetable basket.
I took a Rubbermaid bowl and turned it upside down as a riser
and I added this cheap leaf garland from Big Lots.
Then I put my Hobby Lobby chicken in it.
So now we have a chicken in a basket.
I decided that the kitchen towel used as a runner looked like, well, a kitchen towel used as a runner, so I grabbed the leaf place mats that I had in the dining room and used them instead.
A different view of Henrietta.
I used another of the baskets on my front porch
And the third may sit near my pumpkin in the front flower bed (unsuccessfully hiding my silver well water cover).
Or I may use it for apples, since I have so many of them laying around here.

I love this, Pam. That green basket is really, really cute. Of course, I love the hen. With a blog name Rusty Rooster Vintage, maybe I"m biased? lol Your kitchen table looks great. I posted some pics of our chickens. Take a looksy if you get a chance. Have a great day.

Hey Pam! 🙂 I just adore Henrietta and your baskets...so cute! ( I think I like the green basket the best!)
Glad you liked my fence and arbor....it just makes my day when I go out and see it standing there are pretty and proper! LOL You were saying you might get a fence....this one was different than any others I had seen because the posts are exposed...meaning, you can see them from the outside inbetween each panel. I love it so much! We live on a busy road and it's so nice to not feel like we're in a fish bowl anymore. A little privacy goes a LONG way!
Hope you have a great week....it's almost the weekend! woo hoo!
Hugs!
Missy 🙂

Pam! Love your chicken-in-a-basket...it is so much healthier than the ones you get at KFC...less grease and all!>)
Your centerpiece looks lovely. It's amazing what you can do with bits and pieces, isn't it? Something that by itself doesn't do much at all- but massed together makes something so lovely. Great job! Hugs-Diana

I just found your blog from COZY LITTLE HOUSE. I love HENRIETTA chicken...and the leaf place mats under her make it just perfect. Now I'm off to check out the rest of your blog. Hope you'll visit me sometimes too.

Greetings! Wow, I love that basket and leaves and the chicken! I like both the plaid dishtowel and the placemats too. You could always switch them out when you get tired of seeing one! 🙂 Great job.
Best regards,
Gloria
