Roosters Everywhere!

Welcome to my Rooster Party! At first I thought, I have a couple of roosters, I'll join the party. Then I started taking pictures of them all...and was startled to find how many I have! They are all over my kitchen! "When did that happen?", I thought to myself.



Here is how it all started...

I found this fabric that had french writing on it...AND roosters. My grandma made some valances for my kitchen windows.

Then of course I needed placemats and napkins for the breakfast table...


Then I found this lamp for the kitchen at a good price and got it...

A little hook to hold dish towels...
I found this guy in an antique store. I don't think he is antique but I know that he is solid wood and could be used as a weapon... I love him. He lives on top of the ice box.
Then these pictures got added...
Then this rug. Actually this is Rooster rug, version 4 or 5. Lola likes to eat Rooster rugs when she is bored.
Finally, the last addition. I didn't have anything hanging in this blank space and ran across this cute iron rooster at Hobby Lobby.

You have a great collection of roosters. I love the lamp and the placemats. It's funny how a collection just kind of grows before we even realize it!

Hi Kara! Love all the roosters you have here today!! I even had to giggle just a little when you said you needed to fill that one little empty space.. I never did like empty spaces! I have to fill them right up!.. I get teased about it too! Anyways, LOVE the curtains your grandmother made!! In my opinion, things like that are THE BEST!! Have a wonderful weekend! ~tina

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau
