There is a rooster party going on at Bella Vista hosted by Barb. This is such a popular theme because there is just something about roosters that seem to draw us all in.
The large picture here was painted by me. It is part of a vegetable storage bin. The chicken wire is actually painted on. Now starting at the top smaller photos there is my doorstop, utensil jar, jug from Portugal, kitchen hook, plate, S&P shakers and double hook.
This painting was done by the friend of the lady at a local apple orchard. It was in their store. When I asked if it was for sale she hesitated and he said YES. I felt really uncomfortable buying it as she seemed to not want to part with it. Smaller pictures are from the top, bucket, wood carving, wire roosters, Betty Crocker dishes, utensil jar, plate and shelf.
I do have a few more rooster items but thought of them after I was done with these. I guess they have just become part of the household and I don't notice them all the time.
Oh I love roosters and yours are all just wonderful. I didn't mean to collect them either, but they just keep coming home with me. lol Hugs, Marty

Love the wine cork wreath! I put the link up on my facebook so my sis can see. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of fun rooster items. It is surprising how sometimes we don't even realize we have this or that still hanging around. they jsut become part of our home.
ReplyDeleteHi, I had roosters and when I redid my kitchen I gave quite a few away along with some lovely wall art to my daughter. I recently bought three roosters, rooster plates, another set of roosters along with a rooster teapot. So funny, rooster, rooster, rooster.
