A Cock Doodle Do!

Oh Yeah!  It's time for a Rooster Party hosted by Barb @ Bella Vista. 

I have a little corner in my kitchen they I have designated as Rooster corner. 

My newest find is this little white vintage rooster that I found while we were on vacation.

I think I paid a whopping $4 for him.

The little Rooster plaques were garage sale finds and I made the pillows and cushion a few summers ago.

That cute little apple tassel was made by the wonderful Marty @ a Stroll thru Life.  I also have another one made by the fabulous Gloria @ Happy to Be.  Aren't blogger buddies just the best!

Next to the bench a little wire and wood plaque, also a $2 garage sale find.

And my favorite rooster of all is this runner made for me by my Sweet MIL. 

She used left over scraps to quilt this lovely runner and I will always treasure it!

And my rooster apothecary jar!  Only $7 on clearance at TJ Maxx last summer.

It's filled with wooden eggs and a cute little Chicky!

And that is about it for me friends. I'm up to my eyeballs in pink and baby booties preparing for my daughter's baby shower on the 14th.  She is starting to get pretty uncomfortable.  Only about 8 weeks to go! Now go visit Barb and the other participants by clicking on the logo below.

Fun at the County Fair, My Gladiolas and a local traffic jam!

Hi all.  Tonight is a little potpourri of posts.  My friend Linda, at Reminisce This and That, grew up in my neck of the woods.  In fact, we knew each other in high school through 4-H and the fair. We used to model clothing that we had made in the 4-H dress revue. And as I recall, Linda always beat me.    Then last summer, we found each other again through blogging. Well actually, Linda found me!    Linda, who now resides in Tempe, Arizona just happened upon my blog and soon realized she had stumbled upon someone she already knew.  I was lucky enough to meet up with Linda during a trip to Phoenix last October and we both attended the Arizona Blogger Tea together.  It was so fun to see her and I hope to see her when I travel back there in October.  Linda is so missing our County Fair and I promised to share a few pics.

So Linda, these are especially for you!

The pretty young lady pictured with the lamb is a high school buddy of my daughters.  She was the Grand Champion winner and did such a nice job!

More scenes from the county fair.

I am also so excited that I actually have gladiolas.  This is the first time I planted them and I am so happy that they actually grew!
I just love the coral and lime green ones and next year I may plant a whole side of our house with them!

And I also wanted to show you the  local traffic jam I encountered on the way to the fair.  They were in no hurry to leave the road.   So I honked several times and when that didn't work, I ended up driving very carefully around them.
I guess I really don't mind this kind of traffic.  They sure were oblivious to me!
And since I have created all of these little Mosaic's I will join Mary at Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.
And speaking of Mondays, I hope your week is a special one.
