Does this ever happen to you?
You like something~ a certain color or decorating style~ and then you think you have "grown" out of it. So you give most all of those things away, thinking you're done with it~ only to discover to your surprise a few years later that you like it again... Well, this isn't the first time this has happened to me, and I am sure it won't be the last, which is why I am becoming much more discerning about what I give away and what I pack away "for the time being". :)
I found these cute rooster wall hangings at a garage sale over Labor Day weekend...I was just going to buy the one below (to be frugal) but she told me to take the other one as well, which I was happy to do! Total cost: just two dollars!

I also found this sweet milk glass bowl/vase thing at another garage sale the same weekend. ( I am not exactly sure what it's intended for, but I know what I am going to use it for!) For just one dollar, I walked away with something precious! :)
(In the background, you can see the beaded board I have put in so far, although it's not painted yet and I haven't put in the trim at the bottom!) I also found a cute wire basket with a bow at the first garage sale, but want to spray paint it before I show you it! :) Pretty soon, my spray painting days will be over for a few months due to the cooler weather, and I still have SO many things to spray paint, including the drawers to my vintage stove that we are restoring...
I wanted also to apologize for not coming around and saying hello for the last week or two~ the last couple of weeks have been unusually busy. I am hoping things will be calmer this week, so I can find out how you all are doing now! :) I hope you are all having a good new week! :)
Have a good night,

Amy would love the roosters! I too get fed up with quickly but months later change my mind....Glad you are well...XXX
The Roosters are great and I groan when I think of what I 'de-cluttered' away. x
its such a handsome frame and it looks nice on your wall, jenni. oh it's always fun to have new stuff so let the others enjoy your old ones as you did when you had them, ok?
nice to see you back.
xoxoxoxo
I've thrown things away that I couldn't ever imagine coming back into fasion only to discover that a few months later they are the in thing! I love the rooster pictures.

Oh, I soooo know what you mean. I can't believe you got those great roosters for just $2.00!!!! I have been on a big rooster kick since the rooster party where everyone showed their roosters. I now have an inspiration picture from an old Country Home or Living magazine that shows a French Country Rooster themed kitchen that I am in LOVE with. Hmmmm, we will see.
i LOVE milk glass!!! what a great find!
LOVE the roosters!!!!
I have replied to your question on my blog..hope it helps! Amy xxx
What cute pictures, I especially like the second one with the three roosters.

Those are all three treasures!
I totally hear you on the getting rid of things a bit too early...
My love of roosters has came and gone many times. I'm in love with them right now too!! Love yours!!
Jen
So sweet of you to drop by my blog! I really appreciated your comments! (I'm the girl with the purple bathroom.) Love how you're fixing up your home. It looks great so far, and I can't wait to see more projects- the bead board in particular, I love. I am planning on putting some up all over my house soon...just gotta find the time and funds! Thanks again for stopping by!
I can so relate to that! I think I might want to go a different route in my decorating, but always seem to come back to my red, toile, and roosters. I love both those pieces you bought and what a great deal! have a great weekend!
Amy... I so understand busy! I've been real bad about getting around to everyones blog too. If it wasn't one thing it was another!
But here I am to say "HI!"
I collect roosters (I just started up again myself) My daughter bought me the cutest wooden rooster for my birthday.. I will have to do a post on my roosters!
I love all the buys you found!
Have a blessed weekend,
Robin~♥
It looks like you found some neat things. I use to collect different things but my tastes have changed. I think that's pretty normal.
