Good Morning Rooster …


Roosters are one of my favorite vintage items to collect and they are also one of my favorite subjects to paint.

I love how colorful, whimsical, and proud they are.

I had a rare quiet Sunday when I created this painting. I sat outside under our curly willow tree on a blanket and just enjoyed the beautiful day. I wanted to use bright beautiful colors and make the rooster fun and whimsical. It was nice to paint just for the love of painting.

Vintage Thingie Thursday, Goes to the Birds …


Today I am linking up to Coloradolady for Vintage Thingie Thursday. This Thursday I thought I would share some of my vintage roosters. I love vintage roosters. Every time I go to a flea market I always keep an eye out for a new piece to add to my collection.




This is my favorite rooster collectible. It is a white rooster vase. I love how the flowers bring out the character in this simple piece.




I got these two matching roosters for a great price a few years ago. They remind me of birds my great-grandmother had displayed above her kitchen cabinets.





I love the teal and purple on this vintage rooster tablecloth.




This is a cute little rooster book end.



This white rooster salt shaker had a partner, but the other rooster unfortunately met my youngest and didn’t survive.



This cute salt shaker also met my daughter but I was able to rescue him.




Thank you for visiting my little collection.
