Today my friend Barb @ Bella Vista is hosting a 'Show us your Rooster' party.
When I found out about it, I thought 'Oooohhh I want to play along, I love anything roosters.'
After I let Barb know I wanted to participate I realized 'Uhmmm uhhh...even though I love roosters, I don't have many at all'.
See, there is the Rooster Police living in this house and getting any type of rooster past them into the house is close to impossible.
So please don't be too disappointed with the small gathering of roosters I'm partying with today.
Guests of the party are a couple of different sizes of rooster themed hatboxes that hide some of the dishes I sneak into this house. Uhmmm...excuse the blurry picture I was a bit shaky when taking the picture of my ~Out-in-the-open-sneaky-hiding-spot~. A guilty conscience will get ya every time.

As you notice by the time I took a shot of the side of the hatbox I had gained my composure and no more blurriness.
Another fun trio are these magnets that reside in the kitchen. They are small enough that the 'Rooster police' hasn't bothered with them too much.
This one almost slipped by me and didn't make it to the party. It is the lid of a small trunk that holds all my cloth napkins.
Now this one is my pride and joy. I even pleaded my case with the 'Rooster Police' to allow him to live here and take center stage every now and then.
Yeah, I know, I know - it is pretty sad for a rooster party but I tried and for good measure I thought I throw in a picture of the rooster on my Farmtown Farm.
He is a fun guy *grin*

So, yes now you've probably seen the most pathetic rooster party participant but if you rush back to Barb's blog and check her participant list, you will find the most amazing rooster collections you can imagine.
Have a wonderful Friday,

I think your rooster collection is just great. I especially like that proud old guy in front of the window. The wall plaques are really nice, as is the boxes.
Oh I do love that rooster box...wonderful!

I love roosters but I have non in the house.No statue's no pictures no live ones...
But your collection is great.
Tam, There is nothing wrong with your rooster collection, everyone has their thing. I love the Boxes and the one in the window.
Happy Friday.

I like roosters but I don't LOVE them so I don't really have a lot either (I also live with the Rooster Police)! Anyway, I like your collection especially the hat box - very cute!
Manuela
Your last rooster is spectacular! What a great piece to have on display this fall. I love different rooster pieces.
You are too cute! I was giggling at the comments about the rooster police. hee hee You have a great collection of roosters.
Blessings,
Sandra
I guess I am the odd one, as I don't have any roosters. I have seen many pretty ones out there, but I don't have room for another collection.
Oh I love your big and proud one, the hat boxes are just wonderful too as well as the trunk. Well I guess I have to confess that I love them all. Hugs, Marty
I think your rooster with the acorns is fabulous! No need to apologize for your roosters. Sally
Great roosters! I love the hat boxes.
Blessings!

Good start for a rooster collection, I think the one center stage is beautiful, so glad you could get him through the rooster police...lol...Debbie
Pretty good Tam. The trunk lid is gorgeous. Just my style.
I explained to my husband years ago that when he starts putting as much energy into decorating and designing in our home as I do then he can have an opinion. Until then he can butt out. Works for us but it helps that he also likes country styles.
Hi fellow party goer, Great display of roosters, such intricacy in the second to last pic!, Have a great weekend!x
You have a great start-- come over to my blog.. I am having a give a way!! I have just a "few" roosters!
Hi Tam, your pictures are wonderful. Those boxes are so gorgeous.....I love hatboxes with a passion. Every picture is a delight.
Thank you for sharing and helping me celebrate today.
Barb :-)
HiTam
Nice collection of roosters. The big one on the windowsill is beautiful! Thanks for sharing him with us.

You managed to sneak some great roosters past the rooster police.
Beautiful. A very fun post too.
hugs,
Barb
LOVE the magnets!:)
The rooster in the window is so colorful and majestic- love him... what is he made out of? You might have a small collection, but it is a nice one.

Loved your collection! Great party!
Irma :)
I thought your rooster party contribution was really nice. I don't have very many either so I was a little hesitant to join in too.....but it sounded like so much fun! By the way , I loved that rooster box of yours....I just love pretty boxes to store things in.
Elaine :)
If it inspires you, your collection is far better than mine. I could not find one rooster in my home. But, I have so enjoyed the rooster party. I really like your rooster box. After this week, I will always look at roosters differently.
Ich liebe Ihre Roosters, besonders der grosse, welcher Ihr Lieblings Hahn ist. Auch die Schachteln sind sehr schoen.
Ich war noch nie auf einer Rooster Blog Party und es hat mir sehr gut gefallen.
Vielen Dank und Auf Wiedersehen!
Tam, I love the roosters you have here today! Hope you're enjoying all the rooster festivities, and that you're having a wonderful weekend! ~tina

blessings,
aimee
I love your rooster party, it was fantastic. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Janet
Tam, Sorry I'm a bit late, I'm still working my way though the list of rooster parties. I didn't think it was sad at all. Love the rooster living in your home. Thanks for sharing!
Hope to see you at hyacinthforthesoul where there was more rooster fun each day this past week.
Have a good weekend. ~ Sarah
Those darned ole rooster cops are always trying to spoil the fun aren't they?! I'm glad you managed to sneak a few cute ones by them!
Sherri:)
You have quite a few roosters {more that I have!} and they are all so unique! My favorite is the tall elegant guy in front of your window. He's awesome!
Love the hat boxes! Love the chest that holds your napkins! Great idea!
I'm still making my rooster rounds!
Oh, your rooster of honor is very grand!!!
(haha...love your rooster police references,
...over here...hmmm...let's just say. I tend to like a bit of everything, especially vintage items, so from a family of real police officers, my hubby although loves antiques too...he would be my "too-much-where-are-you-going-to-put-that?" police.)
Blessings & Aloha!
If you're not tuckered out...hope you stop by my rooster party :o)
Hi I love yor Roosters, Yes I am still trying to get to all the great party's.... I am having a give-a-way to celebrate my 1 month Blogoversary.... Please stop over at my place to celebrate ...
I really like that trunk! If you would like to check out some more roosters, we are going to have an entire rooster exhibition! http://queengallery.ca/2010/06/el-gallo-chantecler-kamyl-bullaudy-rodriguez
