As I mentioned earlier this week
Barb's Rooster Party is underway.
It is so much fun to visit and see how
everyone displays their roosters and
all of the variations on this theme.
During last year's rooster party
I was the blessed winner
of Cindy's Rooster Plate Giveaway
I thought I would show them to you
again...in the form of a mosaic.
In April of this year Mom, Chelsea and I
went to Winterthur to see the Azaleas.
After walking through the amazing Azalea Woods
we went up to the museum and I was
thrilled to find this
Garden Rooster.
He appeared to be
made of cement.
A heavy guy, I am sure!
He was under a huge glass cloche so I didn't
get to check that out.
But this was the last photo I took
at Winterthur that day because my
camera battery went dead just then.
At least it held out that long.
Do you know what is under the bread?
This rooster platter was a gift from my dear friend, Bee.
She writes at Busy Bee Trail.
I love this platter for its beauty
and for the friend connection
that brought
it to me!
There are plenty of opportunities to purchase
Roosters in Lancaster County.
We know our Country Decor!
I just had to take pictures to share!
It is fun to anticipate this Rooster Party as the
year progresses.
I took quite a few Rooster photos as we went.
It is fun to share some of them with you.
Have a fun tour...
Thanks for stopping by
Hospitality Lane!!!!
I do hope you will
come back soon!

So glad you're part of the rooster party! The rooster platter is beautiful, especially when yummy bread is being served on it!

I don't have roosters since my house is Hawaiian themed not. But...in Kauai they have roosters everywhere. The real fancy ones!! It is funny!
From what I saw today, you are ready for the rooster party. I am sure everyone will have a big crowing time.
Your roosters are really nice! That cement one is very interesting. I've never seen anything like it :-)
Blessings,
Marcia
Your roosters are great, and your photos are lovely (as always) thanks for sharing...Many blessings, to you...Jill
Becky, you have such great rooster pictures. I love that you gathered pictures throughout the year. The cement rooster is beautiful. Your plate and all the other pretty roosters are nice too. :)
Hi Becky, what wonderful and interesting roosters. I adore the white one but they are all just gorgeous! You know I love your pictures.
Thank you so much for joining this year. Have a great time with your visiting.
Hugs, Barb ♥
You have such wonderful pictures of roosters! I don't believe I have even one rooster in my house, although I have taken pictures of roosters (real ones!) over the years.
Such cute big guys! I love your plates and platter.
Oh, I love your rooster collection and the way you have displayed them. I used to live in Princeton, New Jersey and I often took a ride into Lancaster County. We were married in New Hope in 1987. Such a beautiful area, and there must be wonderful shops to find new roosters.

Good Morning Becky Sweetie...
Oh my goodness gracious. Do you ever have a rooster collection. I love everything. Your plates are so devine, what a wonderful thing to win during a rooster celebration. I love them.
Now your platter is beautiful, but sweetie I have got to tell you that bread looks so heavenly. Yuuummmy. I will be right over. Yes, I am a sucker for fresh home made bread.
A beautiful share sweetie. I pray you are well. I think of you each time I open my candle jars. No, I can't bring myself to burn them, then I wouldn't have you in the house anymore. I just open the lids, smell them, smile and think of the wonderful friend who carried them to me, and shut the lid tightly.
Have a beautiful Friday sweetie. Please know that you are so loved by a friend in Arizona. Country Wings.
Sending many hugs and much love, Sherry
I'll take a walk down beautiful Azelea Lane with a piece of that sweetbread for $200 Alex!!
Nice roosters too.
your roosters are so pretty and colorful!!!!
I came by to check out your roosters.
Your Winterthur rooster is beautiful. I wonder if he was on the grounds originally? Linda
Great roosters!! sweet animals on your side bar too!
Hi Becky,
I love your colorful roosters!
Thank you for stopping by my blog with your kind words!
Enjoy the party!
Barb
Love all your roosters! Great collection. :)
Donna
Loved all the pictures of the roosters! That cement one would be neat in the garden! Your trips sound like fun.
Your rooster platter is pretty. Trish
I actually don't own a rooster in any shape or form, but I have been eyeing them lately. I think the biggest reason was that the primary colors weren't quite fitting my more muted color scheme. I must be moving into a new phase.
Thanks for sharing!

What a nice collection of roosters!
Isn't this a fun party!
Katherine
I love all your rooster pictures. My favorite is the stone rooster. I could just see that in my garden. It would look really cool!
It was fun to see all your rooster photos! I love that concrete one at Winterthur! I'd love to find a concrete one to put in my garden! Your rooster platter is so cute!
Manuela

Hi Becky, I really liked this post. The azaleas are unbelievably beautiful. Oh, and great roosters too. ;-) LOL
I actually just love the last two pictured. Something about the high gloss that I just love.
I hope you have had a super rooster weekend so far,
Susan

I'm still trying to make it around to all the rooster parties!! Love your rooster collection! Especially the plates!
Hello Becky, the azaleas remind me of when we lived in the great state of GA. We were in a home that had plants that were 25 years old and looked very much like these when they bloomed. What a beautiful site they were each spring. Oh how I miss them and think of them each year, along with the dogwoods. Your roosters are all eye candy and I love your blog. I think I will look for the follow button and see what you are up to each week, Char
THANKYOU Becky, Kirstin is doing much better now. Valley Fever can be found in AZ, CA and I believe New Mexico. It comes from spores in the soil and is a fungus that grows in the lung or lungs. More than likely she will have to take an antifungal medicine for about a year. It never goes away, but lays dormant. Char
WONDERFUL roosters, Becky--very fun post! Winterthur... haven't been there in years--must go back! :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
OOh wouldn't that be a lovely rooster to have in your garden!!!! Love all the roosters....would even take the bread if I had to!!! It is so nice to see you won something too, congratulations!
Hugs,
Margaret B
