Rooster Overload

WARNING!! ROOSTER OVERLOAD!!!


I didn't realize I had so many roosters. When I heard about the rooster party, I was excited to join in and share my roosters and see all the great ones you all have. I know I don't need any more, but my heart just skips a beat when I see one. It's a sickness, I'm telling you.

First, this stained glass rooster sits above my cabinets. He belongs to my parents, who recently came to live with us.

Here is a bookshelf in my kitchen that houses cookbooks. I have a small rooster oil painting and a yellow ceramic rooster sitting on top. They are next to a tall carnival glass vase that belongs to my parents, and a few more vases.

Over the vent hood mantel, is a collection of odd bottles, an old jar, and 2 roosters. The one in the middle is my favorite rooster. I got him on a trip to Mountain Home, Arkansas.He is made of old wood and metal.

My paper towel holder is, of course, a rooster...

Two rooster prints ...I painted the frames black and distressed them.

Another favorite rooster over the kitchen window. I bought him at a garage sale several years ago. He is handcarved. The lady who sold him to me said she bought it on her honeymoon in Jamaica. I can't believe she was selling it.

More cookbooks...and a little clay rooster...

Buffet and plate rack display...

This pic shows more of the plate rack. My husband made it for me several years ago. I just love it. The buffet came from a local thrift store.
