I seem to be collecting roosters!!! Somehow, they're reproducing in my kitchen......and I've told myself to make them stop. However, yesterday we had a new one join our menagerie!! Did a little day trip to Sisters, Oregon (I think a lot of you know the place) and while wondering thru an antique shop, I found this guy.........I just LOVE him!!! and I HAD to share! He cost only $6.00 -- I don't believe he's antique...but I don't care.

I love his looks, doesn't matter if he's old or not, just as long as you like him. I love roosters and all chickens.

Good find. It doesn't matter what you collect, as long as you're having fun doing it.

Junk and goodwill shops are such good places to find treasures. You just never know when you'll be lucky and find that special something. And it's an environmentally friendly way to collect too.
