Barb at Bella Vista is hosting a show your rooster party so be sure to go to her blog to find the other participants (she has them listed on her sidebar). When I told her I would join in I also told her that I really don't have a lot of rooster things. Well I have more than I thought! I just don't have them out all at the same time.
This little rug is from Wal-Mart. I'd been looking for one that had a checkerboard pattern and wasn't too large, so I was so happy to find this!
Here are a few pictures from past posts and then I'll show some that haven't been seen before. The red rooster was a Goodwill find in February. It was already a perfect color! The little picture I made from a piece of wallpaper border sample.
This rooster picture is also a thriftstore find a few months later. I added the checkerboard mat (it's contact paper) and painted the frame black.
These plates came 4 in a box from TJ Maxx. I love how they coordinate with each other yet are different!
I really do love my fancy dishdrainer thingie! Even my husband commented that he liked the plates here! I changed out my little arrangement for the rooster party.
I found those little roosters on the top at the thriftstore. They had a box under a shelf that I pulled out and it was full of bisque pieces - I think that's what they're called? (Those paint yourself ceramic things.) Anyway.....I found these three little roosters! Right now they just have a coat of primer on them - I'm not sure if I want to paint them red, black, yellow or keep them white!
Underneath is a homemade placemat made out of rooster toile fabric.
I'm always excited when I find one of these trays! I have 5 of them now (all different scenes but same maker).
Well that's it for all my rooster things! I hope you enjoyed seeing them! Like I said, I didn't realize I had as many as I do and I'm always passing up rooster stuff at Goodwill. They just had plates with a black checkerboard on the rim and roosters in the middle. Had them in my cart and then put them back (and no I never did find that 4th white Parson's chair slipcover)!
BUT.........I did find some other really nice things so stop by Sunday evening for my thriftstore finds!

Manuela, so glad I am among the first to see your Rooster things. Wow, girl, I am impressed and the dish drainer thingy (ha) is to die for!!!!!!!!! I WANT ONE OF THOSE!
I love your decorating style....very fresh and so inviting.
Thanks so much for being a part of this party and many thanks for the tip about scrolling down....I will place that on my thank you post.
I will be back to stare some more later. :-)

Hi! I have never posted a comment on your blog before and I thought today was a perfect day for that!
I thought you might enjoy some fun info. A black rooster on a bottle of Chianti is the symbol of the very best quality of Chianti you can get. The legend is that the Chianti region was named so because the word 'Chianti' sounds like the call of a rooster in the morning.
I love your blog.
I really like your roosters! I only have a couple, but i love them. I think I've always liked them because they're redheads.
I love how you changed out your dish rack for this party! That's so cool--you'll be able to do that for holidays, special occasions, whatever you want! I think we're all jealous of that find. But we're not covetous--we wouldn't want you to lose yours. Just wish there were more!
First of all...where did you find that adorable dish drainer thingy? I am totally in love with it and you have it fixed soooooo cute!!
I LUV those white roosters so, yep,ya gotta keep 'em white...Now..I've got to go back and take a second look at all your pretties...
xo bj
I love your roosters! I have none in my home. None! I guess I need to work on that.

Don't you love when you can find things that are already the perfect color/patter/size?!
I have only one tiny little blue pottery rooster. My Mama collected roosters and my oldest sister got her collection. They always remind me of her.
I love all of your roosters and your fancy dish drainer thigny is awesome!
Have a great weekend!
I love all your roosters! I love the colors! I love the dish drainer thingy too!

Beautiful collection. How do you do it??? Your home is always fabulous! I love your tin backsplash in the kitchen... that is exactly what I want!!!
Love your roosters. Really like the dish drainer and I think the white rooster should just stay white. Your home feels so comfy/cozy.
Every rooster is wonderful, and displayed to perfection. Have a great weekend. Sally
Hi Manuela!
Oh your collection is stunning! I adore each one! Those trays are gorgeous and I love your kitchen rug too, as soon as I saw it I realized that when I did my Rooster post, lol, I forgot my own kitchen rug, lol!

I really like all your roosters! I think I like the little trio in white. Checkerboard contact paper? Where did you find that?
Mary Lou
I am coming over to take all these off your hands because I want them! My favorite is the rooster tray hanging in your dining room. The only tray I have like those is a bunny one found at a yard sale, but I'd love to find more. I just love all your decorating!

All your roosters are beautiful and their settings are gorgeous. I specially love the teapot with little rooster. Happy Rooster Day..have a lovely weekend.

You do have a lot of roosters. My very favorite is the whole vignette with the dish drainer. It made my heart flutter. I LOVE black and white toile.
Roosters are so pretty and I love hte way you have yours blended in with your decor. I looked all around, and realized that I don't have a single rooster in our house! But I have some really pretty one walkng around the yard! =)
Hope you are recovered from your dentist visits!
