~AHHH....A ROOSTER PARTY~

http://notesongs.blogspot.com/

These are my favorites..sitting high on my dish cabinet.

The silver seal on these says "Royal Copley"  If anyone knows anything about that name..I would love to know.

I cannot even remember where these came from..  Oh well. 

I bought this little lamp from a catalog.  I've seen a few around blogland..

I rescued this metal planter from my daughters pile of things she was taking off to Goodwill...

These were bought at different times at Antique stores...oil painting..

This grand old man was another item headed for Goodwill or a garage sale..
I think my daughter was overwhelmed by so much.  She will get it back one day.

This sits on the counter by my sink...

I have many more Roosters...but I thought this was WAY enough...so to speak! :)

Thank you to our lovely Hostess Shelia!  I am sure you probably know her, but if you don't, do yourself a favor and hop over and become addicted!

Love and hugs,
Mona

    Oh Mona, you have a wonderful collection of Roosters. I used to have sooo many.
    This made me miss them. Since we downsized to our RV, I don't have room for them, I have only kept a couple of small milkglass ones. My favorite of yours is the lamp. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Mona and what wonderful yard birds you have! So many colorful ones and the little vintage pair are so sweet! Love those pretty little paintings but that lamp! I love that lamp. I've seen it before too and just drool over it!
    Thank you so much for coming to my party.
    You are a sweetie,
    Shelia :)

    What a sweet collection of roos you have. :)
    I was just looking at the photo of you and your hubby (on the sidebar), thinking how blessed that you have had 3 men in your life that loved you.
    Very special, indeed.
    I still wish you would write a book of your life..I would love to read it.
    How is Sandy doing, Mona?

    I've always wanted to have a rooster/chicken kitchen.

    My favorites are the framed pictures and the metal planter. You are a decorating genius!

    And by the way...I miss your comments. You are always so kind. kt

    Hi, Mona! I haven't visited in a while -- this is the "other" Gloria. :)
    Love all your things! And you know what? I have that same little rooster lamp with the red gingham shade! I got mine from QVC/Valerie Parr Hill. :)
    Best,
    Gloria

    Hi Mona,

    I love your Rooster collection. It's so enjoyable to see what friends collect.

    Bet you are excited that Becca is coming home from Camp Good Bear. We are leaving to bring Prudence & Sissy home at the end of the week. I think they are very ready to come home.

    Hugs

    Oops, it's me again....

    Good grief, Camp Good Bear almost sent Becca to you instead of your Abby. Not to worry - all is right with the world.

    I believe Abby will be coming home on Friday. I think the camp bus will drop her off at your driveway but you had better call them to make sure. (o: (Am I insane? Yes, of course, I talk to teddy bears.)

    Hugs

    I love your collection of barn yard birds. You have some wonderful pieces. I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite but I sure wouldn't mind having those paintings or the darling lamp or the planter or......

    What fun to wake up to!! The mornings I've been roused from bed to rooster-crow are far far behind me, but well remembered---in fact, we RAISED one---a teensy, strutting little Banty Rooster---in the HOUSE when I was a teen.

    Always good to see your wonderful, bright posts, Mona!

    Mona I see a Royal Copley rooster for sale for 39.99...says vintage. Placed called Iowa Sale Barn. Looks like one of yours.

    Royal Copley china was made by the Spaulding China Company of Sebring, Ohio, from 1939 to 1960. The figural planters and the small figurines, especially those with Art Deco designs, are of great collector interest. The planters and figurines are famous for picturing human and animal faces.

    found this on search. Hope it answers your question.

    Hi Mona, are you referring to the lamp sitting on top of the rooster chests? If so, the one and only place I can find a bulb that works in it and puts out any light is Hobby Lobby. For some reason all other bulbs are just to large. When I'm there which isn't often I pick up several packages to have them on hand... keep me posted sweetie... hugs ~lynne~

    Well, in less than 24 hours you and Abby will be hugging, crying, laughing, and jumping up & down. Prudence & Sissy and I will be doing the same thing only on the other side of the nation and 3 hours earlier.

    Hugs
