Cock a Doodle Doo Rooster Party

DSC03453



Cook a doodle doo. Rise and shine. It's "Show Us Your Roosters Party " time. Barb at Bella Vista is hosting this fun party, so be sure to visit her to see the list of all the other party goers.

This white rooster is the newest addition to my collection. I got it at Olde Tyme Marketplace in Marshville NC. It's a wonderful shop owned by Beth, who also has a blog of the same name.

This proud gentleman sits on the deck. I wish he would do a better job of scaring the deer away.DSC01425


These two were every happy together until I dropped the colorful one and broke it beyond repair!

This is the oldest one in my collection.

This lamp rooster is my most recent find at a garage sale awhile ago. My newset and oldest sit on the red hutch in our kitchen.

I didn't set out to collect roosters. Did you? They just sort of followed me home and then all of a sudden I seemed to have a collection!


Thanks for coming to visit me and my roosters. Now scoot on over to Bella Vista and join the party.

    Hi Rhondi. You have beautiful roosters. They look great with your blue and white dishes and sitting on that red hutch. I would love to go find a concrete one for my backyard. :)

    Hi Rhondi!

    Love your roosters, especially the "guard rooster" on your deck! At least he's handsome, even if not very good at his "job"!

    Sorry about the colorful one, it was beautiful.

    Have a great weekend. Chris

    What a fabulous collection. I especially love the blue and white ones. That first one is to die for. I am with you. I really didn't think I had a collection and then all of a sudden I looked around and there were quite a few. Love all of yours, too cute. Hugs, Marty

    Gorgeous cocky roosters, each one!
    Yesterday I found a tin rooster candleabra at a junk shop for $3, so roosters have been much on my mind. I think I'll sear some cream paint on my new find and use it outside.

    Good morning Rhondi. thank you for your visit to my deck/wildlife post. I am feeling better each day from the shingles. Thank you for your sweet comment.

    I love your roosters and even though you didn't start out collecting, you have a very nice collection. Your red hutch looks terrific. I love the way you displayed everything. The white rooster is also very attractive.

    We have deer, bears, turkeys foxes, groundhogs, etc. We live next to a wildlife preserve. LOL. The only neighbor I have is my sister. She is my backyard neighbor. Thus my blog name.

    Have a fun day visiting the rooster party.

    Hugs...Jeanne

    Rhondi,

    I am so loving eveyone's white roosters! I don't think I have seen one before. Yes, you must have them follow you home. I know that's how they pecked their way into my house! lol!!

    Love the blue and white. How did I know you would have those?

    Love the ones on your hutch too (love the hutch!).

    Have a great weekend!!

    Hi Rhondi, Oh your kitchen is a dream come true, especially with the blue willow and roosters. Love the red hutch. What a gorgeous display of roosters you have. I adore the white roosters and inspired to add a few to my decor. The paper towel holder is from Home Goods a few months ago. Hope you find one!!

    Yes, my roosters sort of adopted into my new style too and I find myself drawn to them.

    Thank you for stopping by. I have enjoyed catching up with you. It has been a busy summer. Hope you had a nice season and looking forward to cooler days.
    Have a nice weekend,
    Hugs, Celestina Marie

    OOO, all your roosters are so CUTE, Rhondi. I just love them.
    I am in the process of cleaning and tweeking my dining room and when I saw your red hutch with your blue dishes, I knew that I needed to put RED over my white beadboard in the back of my red hutch. I will put fabric there until I know for sure I want it that color...thnks for the inspiration, girlfriend. Wish you were here to help me so mine would be as cute as YOURS!!!

    Hi Rhondi! Happy Rooster Day. Your blue and white roosters are AWESOME! I've never seen anything like them. It's too bad about your colorful guy. I love his little neck scarf. Your red cupboard is fantastic. I've been debating about what color to paint my antique cupboard, and red is definitely in the running. I really enjoyed your post. Have a great day!

    Rhondi, you know I love every single one of your roosters, and I love you, too.

    Most of the roosters in our home belong to my mother. She is the rooster lady in our house. But, since we live together, I have grown to like her roosters, and I have added a few. Like my pink rooster. ;-)

    Your blue and white roosters are absolutely gorgeous!!!!! I never seem to find any ceramic ones that I like. That is why I don't have any. You've also diplayed them so nicely. The lamp is just so sweet sitting on your hutch with all that pretty blue/white ceramic collection. I am in serious envy. LOL

    I'm still making my rounds on the rooster party and my what a wonderful collection you have!
    It seems that some things just multiply all by themselves and soon you are a collector!
    Have a great day,
    Karen

    I'm still making my rooster rounds!

    Before I went any further...Your blue rooster stopped me in my tracks...so beautiful! ...but then came your neest white one...the deck guardian/deer scare-er...another blue & white...your poor broken one...your oldest one...and on and on!

    Blessings & Aloha!
    If you're not tuckered out...hope you stop by my rooster party :o)

    oh and love your quilts!
