I am getting my post ready and thinking about my items with interest.  I am coming up on my 1 year blogging anniversary and it also may be my hundredth post.  It  may mean that I  need to do my first give away, so stay tuned.  By next week I can give some more details.

Calling All Roosters for the Party at Bella Vista

I am having some trouble making the link work in my side bar. So I am going to go ahead and make a post about a fun blog party. Barb of BellaVista will be having her second annual Rooster Party. I plan on signing up and will enjoy browsing many blogs to see the fine birds!

She has announced that it will be taking place on Friday August 6th. So if you have rooster art, decor, or sculptures, you may want share these delightful objects during her blog party. Last year I participated and was amazed by all the unique pieces! I had to photograph my mom's collection, because I didn't really have any of my own. This year is different. I have been keeping my eyes open for some fabulous birds when I am in gift shops and antique malls. I have 2 treasures to share so far this year!

I hope you'll be able to join up with the Rooster Party this year.

Welcome to my rooster party! Come along with me to my Mom's place. That's where all the roosters hang out. She has quite a special collection.

Here we have a kitchen towel hanging from a Fridgidaire stove. The towel is not old, but you can bet the stove has that certain vintage charm.

This rooster is the newest member in the flock. It was a birthday gift to my Mom from a good friend. Right now it is sitting on top of a quilted runner that I made from "Fresh Squeezed" Moda fabric. The rooster usually sits on a 3 tiered shelf in the kitchen.

Here we go back to the 50's for this pair of roosters. This pair is quite charming and even though they are similar, they are not quite the same. The rooster on the left has his head turned at a slightly different angle. The other one faces straight ahead. I guess it is hard to tell from this photo.

Lastly, we have a vintage candle holder set and a matching spoon rest. The bottom photo is the intended way to set the spoon in the spoon rest. Apparently, my Dad broke the spoon rest that was just like this one. Luckily my mom spotted the same spoon rest at her Aunt's house and when she heard how much my mom wanted to replace the broken one, her Aunt gave it to my Mom. These 3 fine roosters are arranged on a carrot table runner designed by my college friend, Shelley Robson.

Be sure to visit Barb at Bella Vista using this link. You'll be sure to see many fantastic roosters at a lot of other blog sites. http://barbsgoodlife.blogspot.com/2009/08/show-us-your-roosters-party-time.html

Rooster Party With Barb at Bella Vista

I have signed up to join Barb's Rooster party for this Friday on Aug 28th. Tons of bloggers will be posting photos of rooster items. It will be a fun party. Somewhere at school I think I have a rooster painting that was from a rummage sale. I am going to get some photos of my mom's vintage rooster collection too. It should be a great party.
