Somethin' to crow about...


Which came first...
the Chicken, or the Egg...
or the Rooster?

Well, if we know Roosters, we'd know they think it's all about them!



Here's a vintage group from my kitchen counter,
raising a ruckus.
Roosters fit right in whether you're decor is French Country,
Farmhouse,
or "French Farmhouse"!!



A little box I found a few years ago,
and look it has an "egg" in it.



Hmm... a rooster with an egg?



My sunroom baker's rack has a summer farmhouse theme going




Here is another fella sort of "chalky"
and very colorful.




And a teensy chalk hen on a nest





This cutie little vintage planter definitely needs some ivy on it's backside

 



And this mom and baby are another vintage set
 that is hollow on the inside
some sort of chalk, cement-y mixture.


Love them!


Shelia is having one of her "Heart of the Home" parties
be sure and join in the fun at Note Songs

and I'm joining in with these other great parties,
links on the sidebar buttons.













Be sure and come back tomorrow for



love ya,

    I do love your roosters, and I do love your decor on the sun porch. Perfect for any farmhouse/French style. And I noticed you got a new header, and it is great - the quilt is perfect on the settee. Thanks for sharing!

    Hugs,

    Love all your Roos and Chicks. Here in the south we sometimes call them "Yard Birds". Roosters always remind me of Key West. They run around all over the place and are really beautiful. Looking forward to Design Challenge!

    I love roosters as they remind me of my sweet grandma's everyday dishes that had the cutest roosters on the plates!
    I don't have any in my house... i have bunnies and birds,,, a few German pink pigs and lots of Staffordshire animals.
    In my last house, I did the French Country toile thing and had roosters in my kitchen there.
    They flew the coop when we moved to this place!

    Great collection, Debra!

    Debra,
    Adore you collection of Roosters, Hens and Chickens On Common Ground! What a lovely display on your baker's rack! Mine is out on the deck and exposed to the elements so I have to be very careful what I put on it for display. Sadly, all too late, I've found two "treasures" broken from blowing off the shelves! The winds are fierce on this end of the Prairie! Thank you for sharing your collection!
    Fondly,
    Pat
