I've been lazy about posting things from my home lately. I put this area together a couple of weeks ago. I like to use sunflowers as decorating with the late summer to fall transition.
I found this chicken on markdown at Pier 1. Had my eye on it and decided to go for it.
I kept the blue and white plates up and added these new red dishes with sunflowers. I re-used my metal cylinder for some faux sunflowers.
I have some very large white dishes from the same manufacturer that I've used in the past. I fell for these red ones and ordered them on Amazon. If I can I like to do something different each year. The little chicken wire candle votives are old- from Pottery Barn quite a few years back. I had slipped a pieces of a sunflower in the bottom of them and there they've stayed!
The corrugated tin cylinder was from Pottery Barn 1 or 2 years ago. I added the burlap and twine to give it a little more substance.
I found this cute checked planter with sunflowers on clearance at Pier 1 a little while back.
I need to do a tablescape and use this!
I could have sold that white rooster about 20 times now. Each year some contacts me through my blog about wanting to buy it. I found it at Cracker Barrel back in 2013.
I'm not quite ready to warm up to the fall tones completely but it won't be long!
I made a dinner using the crockpot on Sunday and my first Apple pie this year!
I can definitely recommend the recipe and here is the link:
Slow Cooker Balsamic Honey-Glazed Chicken and Vegetables

My images aren't as perfect as theirs but it was as delicious as I hoped!
I used 6 chicken thighs instead of 4 and increased the vinegar and honey a tad because I also had more potatoes and carrots in the pot.
I made it just as they said and we loved it. The recipe calls for pouring the liquid into the pan and reducing it which I did but it didn't thicken up much. Either way it was a nice Sunday meal!
I used one of those plastic molds to press on the pie dough.
Thinking of the "Big Apple" today and remember 9/11.
God Bless all those who perished and those who came to their rescue.
