Rooster party...Roosters for sale...

Roosters for sale was on the sign in the antique shop window on the square in Maritta, Georgia. I went into Dupres antique shop to have a look around. Since I do not own any Rooster plates or tablecloths etc. I thought I would snap some photos to share with all my blog friends in honor of the Rooster party hosted by Barb. For more Rooster items please go HERE.


A very green Rooster with beady white eyes greeted me upon entering the store. He was certainly ruffling my feathers with that price tag of $50.


A pair of Roosters to use as bookends to hold your antique Readers Digest condensed novels.
Does anyone remember reading those back in the hay days?


A Metal Rooster to sit on your kitchen counter.


An elegant white and gold french Chanticleer.


This lamp and cute toile lampshade would be a great addition to one's country french style of decorating.



A pretty pink hand sewn pillow made by a fellow Rooster lover.

For those of you who follow my blog you know that if I had a Rooster I would display him on a large white platter. He would be stuffed and trussed and be roasted to perfection.

Mangia!

    Hi Joyce,
    Just a small reminder:
    If you want to put the pudding in flowers shaped moulds, is better to add in the agar agar powder~so that the pudding is firm enough for removing from the moulds.
    Thank you :D

    Hi Joyce,
    Love those roosters, especially the French coq and the lamp, which could find a home with me anyday.

    Hi Joyce,
    I share your sentiments about roosters!

    I never knew so many people collected them!

    Great idea, taking pics of them in the antique store!

    We are getting the storm Danny...lots of rain, hope the winds don't pick up!

    Joyce,

    Thanks for the comment on my blog. I live "down South" just about 30 miles north of Florida...in a small town called Lakeland. That's where Bank's Lake National Wildlife Refuge is.

    Oh, I love the picture of the Lebkuchen Herzen on your avatar. I remember buying those as a child in Germany...

    Hi Joyce....Yours must have been one of the few I missed, I did start early and some of you hadn't posted yet. You have some great roosters there, but I have just gotta get me one of those rooster lamps...I am so envious you have one!
    Thanks for stopping by.
    Hugs,

    P.S. The bear in a pirate outfit has been and gone already ... but you never know when the Depp addiction will revive the urge to make another!! LOL!!!

    Oh, I just love roosters and chickens...my kitchen is covered with them on every flat surface and wall ! May have something to do with the fact that my nickname was Chicky in High School. Cute post !
