Red Rooster

- Scoutin' and Shoppin' -

Shoppin' and Scoutin'

two of my favorite past-times. 

And, while visiting in Chicago this summer,

I just happened upon these

adorable rooster plates. 

I was so excited

when I found them and

they were practically giving them away. 

Since I had already bought

two new sets of dishes since Christmas,

I waited to hear what

dear sweet hubby would have to say

when he saw me loading them in my basket. 

But, that sweet man helped me gather them

and even carried them to the car for me. 

What a man!

He also removed the wood fronts on these cabinet

doors and

replaced them with glass a few

years ago. 

I enjoy displaying some of

my "stuff" here.

Doors Open

Doors Closed

(And, seems I'm never satisfied,

so he installed rope lights inside so

my "stuff" can really SHINE!)

Cute - Cute - Cute!!!

And, this little guy

fits right in -

standing guard.

Notice the little wooden strip

holding my plates upright.

Since this wasn't a display cabinet

originally, it didn't have a plate groove.

So, once again hubby came to my rescue

and tacked down a square dowel.

Works perfectly.

And, these new glasses are a

birthday gift from dear friends.

They really look pretty with my new

"ROO" plates!!!

  

This heavy iron doorstop was a

fun find a few months ago.

He flew up to the top shelf

to hold my Southern Living

Christmas Books.

I would love to hear all the

tales he could tell if he could talk.

I think he has been around a while.
