I have a collection of ceramic treasures; the first I received were painted and kiln-baked by my mom. Years after she passed away, I began collecting more ceramic pieces and I now have a large collection of Fitz and Floyd decor for every season. This time of year is when I begin to display my fall collection. Consisting of gourds, pumpkins, and canapes of cornucopia, it's the roosters that take center stage in my decor. Their plumes boast jewel tones that perfectly compliment autumn's rich earth tones.
Be sure to visit Julia's Hooked on Fridays, and if you love all that roosters represent, too, be sure to visit Bella Vista's Rooster Party.
I'm not sure how I feel about autumn... it's a beautiful season, but it's followed by a long, dark cold winter. Ugh!!!
Your rooster collection is pretty cool :-) You should check out the rooster mosaic in this blog post:

I'm still making my rooster rounds!
How special to have your mom's rooster that she painted and kiln-baked herself!
They all really have beautiful colors to go with fall.
Blessings & Aloha!
If you're not tuckered out...hope you stop by my rooster party :o)
