The Roosters of Blue Creek Home






It is finally time for the first "Show us Your Roosters Party", hosted by Barb at "Bella Vista". I know that a lot of bloggers are going to be there. So after you meet my roosters, make sure to go on over to Barb's and meet the rest of the party roosters!


I didn't think that I had enough roosters to come to the party. I don't collect them or even "look" for them when I am shopping. They don't grab my attention on store shelves, nor do they whisper my name when I pass them. (You would be suprised how many things softly plead with me to take them home. Sometimes, things jump into my shopping cart!!! It is really quite mad.)

I think I still hold a bit of a grudge against roosters. I guess that covers big chickens, too.
A big one chased me when I was just a wee thing! It took like all of two seconds for him to catch up with me, and he pecked me right on the !*#!**%#!! Man, I was so close to safety too!
What was even worse, was that everybody laughed!! (You know who your are!)
So, amazingly a few roosters have come to my house to roost.

Maybe, attending this party will be the beginning of forgiveness and healing!!!

Blue Creek Home Roosters




I just bought this vintage wooden rooster lamp yesterday. I have it in the kitchen.
At first, I didn't care for the shade, but it is beginning to grow on me.

I have had this spatter ware since the 80's.

I picked this little guy up in a hospital gift shop.
FYI - hospital gift shops are a great place to shop. I always check out their end-of-season sales. I have found some really cute things at good prices.

This rooster oil cruet was given to me by a friend

My last party animal is a rooster plate which was another hospital gift shop find.

Let's go to the big party now!

  3. Hey Rhonda! Love your roosters and had to laugh about teh little story you shared. I'm sure as a child that was a very traumatic and scary thing for you! Bless your heart!

    My mama collected roosters, so seeing them always makes me think of her. My oldest sister inherited her collection, so I didn't get any of them. Today has made me a teensy bit jealous that she got them all, but that's okay. I did get lots of other things of her's. :)

    Have a great weekend!

  10. Hi Rhondi, I think you have a pretty good collection and they all are so pretty, I had a similar experience growing up being chased by a rooster at my grandparents home, but overcame the fear so much so that I have real chickens on our farm.
    Blessings,
    Sue

  12. Funny post!!! I enjoyed it & your roosters. Luckily I have never had an encounter with a real rooster. I might not be as forgiving as you.

  15. Hi Rhonda! I popped in from Alabama Bloggers. When I saw the title of your blog, I knew you had to be from my part of the country. I'm a "transplant" to Dadeville, so we're practically neighbors!

    I LOVE roosters! When I repainted my kitchen/breakfast room a couple of years ago, I decorated with roosters. Maybe I need to get in on this. :)

  16. Loved seeing all your roosters. Thanks for sharing. Does the splatter ware have a mark. It looks much like the Quimper I collect. I'd be curious to know.
    Hope to see you at hyacinthforthesoul.blogspot.com for some rooster fun at my place. Have a great weekend! ~ Hyacinth

  18. That oil cruet is part of a table set & it is called Roses n' Roosters & it is worth a nice penny. We've sold tons of these R'nR. Love them because of the roses. Have a beautiful weekend. TTFN ~ Marydon

  24. Hi Rhonda, what a great blog you have. I came by to see your "Rooster Party" and saw the REALLY NEAT thing you made from the lamp, plate and cloach - I love it! And the rub on stencil - great idea! You are so creative! I'm adding you to my favorites list!
