Show And Tell Friday # 5

Show and Tell


It's Show and Tell Friday once again. I missed last week because of the trauma going on at home. I'm so happy to be participating again this week. Please go to Kelli's House There Is No Place Like Home to see all the other participants or to join in the fun yourself.

This week I am showing part of my rooster collection. I say part because I do have other things I won't be showing that I still consider part of my collection, like plates with rooster pictures, napkin rings with roosters sitting on them, spoon racks with roosters, you get the idea, small things and too difficult to get down to photograph.

It all started with this guy. He is a lamp. I bought him at somewhere like Walmart, I just fell in love with it and we use it as a night light in the kitchen.

















Then I decided I wanted to start collecting roosters. We bought this next guy at a hospital in the lobby, they were fundraising. He's covered in feathers and actually has a motion detector on him so as you walk by him he cockadoodledoos.



















This next one was given to me by a friend as kind of a house warming gift when we moved into our first home. He is made of wood.



My husband gave me this next one for Christmas or a birthday I don't remember which. It is made of metal and you can put a candle inside of it.



Next is a "Party Lite" gift from my sister one Christmas. You can put a candle in it.



Now we have a creamer and sugar bowl that I bought at an antique shop.



These two were bought at dollar stores.



These next two were bought at antique shops.



And lastly, I bought this one at Walmart I think and he is crystal.


All my roosters live on shelves around my kitchen. I've thought of starting a new collection. I'm thinking pigs maybe.

Thanks for checking out my Show and Tell. Have a great day

Wow - what a lovely collection - especially liked 4 (the rooster with the chick nearby) and the crystal rooster.

Do you get china hens in the States? Ones that the top half comes off so you can store your eggs inside? I have a friend who collects those.

Wow. I'm normally not a rooster fan. As a child, I've had many an unpleasant run-in with the real thing. But these are very nice.

I like all your roosters. I am not sure which one is my favorite! Just when I would think I would pick that one - I would scroll down and find another one that I would like better. I like them ALL.

You could do pigs for awhile and then go to sheep and then at the end do a farm theme? LOL

Thanks for sharing
Blessings,
