So glad you stopped by to join our party. Thanks to our host
Barb at Barbs good life. Be sure you take a trip over to her blog and visit as many as you can to see all the glorious Roosters.
This wonderful Guy is the cock of the walk in our house. He comes with a story which makes him so special. My Mom, Leona who raised 7 children in our family was always so busy raising kids when we were growing up that she never had much time to do things for herself. She came from a family of 8 girls and some of them are very gifted in sewing and other hand work but Mom never had these gifts. We always teased that her gift was raising children. She was a great Mom. In the late 70ies I opened a Craft supply shop. I have enjoyed craft work most of my adult life. Since all her children were grown and she had a little time for herself she started to become involved in some of the craft classes we were having in the shop. I loved having her involved and had her join us many time. She went to a painting class with me for a year and a half.
We decided to take a class in Ceramic painting in the early 80ies and this beautiful rooster was one of her projects, When she passed away in 1993 he became mine and is one of my most treasured items. He is so colorful and really struts his stuff. He is a decoration in my kitchen.
This little guy also sits on the bakers rack in my kitchen, I have had him for a few years, I try to keep something written on the slate but don't always succeed.
These two sit on a shelf in my kitchen also.
These are a few of the roosters I have in my home. I love the more colorful ones. Have painted a few in the past and plan to paint more.Hope you enjoy your tour today.
Hugs
Judy

Hello!
OH I am so glad I started t the end of the list, because there are just sooooo many to visit.
Your story made me cry. Your Mom did SO GOOD! What a beautiful rooster he is. And you think of her all of the time because of him! I know how that is. If we could just have one more day with them . . . but then again, it wouldn't be enough.
What a glorious post! Your Mom would be so PROUD OF YOU!!!
Glad I "met" you!

Hi Sweetie! Love your roosters, especially the one your dear mother painted. How special that it is now "home" with you. That one with the chalkboard is adorable ~ I've seen pigs & French waiters w/chalkboards, but never a rooster ~ how neat!!

Great roosters!! The menu board rooster made me laugh.
Blessings!
Hi Judy, What a beautiful rooster collection you have. I love the rooster hand painted by your mom. Your story sounds so much like mine, in that my mom and I did ceramics in the 80's too. We never painted a rooster, I wish we had. I know he is a cherished piece in your decor.
Love that rooster chalk board too.
So enjoyed my visit and thank you for stopping by mine earlier.
Have fun and a great weekend.
Blessings and a hug,
