Welcome to 2nd Time Around. Please join us by linking a post that features something that is a 2nd Time Around to you…something from a garage sale, flea market, thrift store, estate sale, etc. Please link your post rather than your blog, and link back to this blog. Thank you for participating.
Since I last posted about my antique mall booth, and my Etsy shop, I’ve started another adventure. After being on the list for about 4 months, my friends and I finally got a booth at a really large antique mall/flea market. So…..you know what that means-I’ve had to do lots of shopping. Seems like I’ve found lots of cute chickens lately, and I’m going to feature them in this post.
Roosters and chickens don’t really fit into my decor, but I love the look! So here goes:
I found this one at an antique mall in Collins Ms. During the holidays, one of my friends and I visited a really large one owned by Delta Burke and her husband. This chicken didn’t come from there, but a small shop nearby. She is an adorable string dispenser!
This hook is one I did have in my Etsy shop, and it sold!
I’ve been finding some great needlework in my excursions. These coordinating cross stitch pictures were in ugly gold frames, and I painted the frames black to update the look.
And my latest purchase-just made today- is a hen with salt and pepper eggs on each side. The top is a condiment holder with a little spoon. Not sure where she will end up-but it will be one of three places!
Hope you enjoyed my vintage chickens and roosters. I also found a pewter rooster timer, but didn’t get the photos ready for this post.
Hopefully in the next week or two, I’ll have some pics ready to share for the new booth!

Cute roosters and chickens!

They are all adorable Diane. Very collectible and cute.
I would have loved to see Delta Burke's store -- did you take any photos?
I don't have any chickens in my decor either, Diane, but many do. Happy New Year.
I love the chicks and roosters! Wish I knew you had the hook one for sale! I have one similar and use it for hand towels in the kitchen. It would have been a perfect match! I love the salt and pepper shakers too! Email me it you decide to sell it. Just love Chickens!
Cute chickens, I am sure they will be perfect for someone's collection. Good luck with your ventures! Happy New Year!
Love chickens Diane.
These are great!
Thanks for hosting each week.

I love all the chickens. I have found really great ones that I had a hard time parting with even though they are not my decorating style either. Thanks for hosting this great party!! Leslie
Cute, Diane! You should do well with your venture. I'm proud of you!

Hi Diane!
What a fun collection of chickens and roosters you have! They are so bright and cheery.
Seems like a nice collection to bring forward on the upcoming easter.
Hi, Diane ...
Thank you for taking the time to host our 2nd Time Around Tuesdays again.
I love your cute collection of chickens. It sounds like you are enjoying your new antiquing adventures.
I love Delta Burke's and Gerald McRaney's shop in Collins, and hope to get back down that way when the weather warms up some.
Where is your new booth? I'd love to visit it, too!
Good morning Diane. I am so happy to say hello this am. I love your hens you have found. This is a theme that is ever popular. I have lots of them from collecting over the years. Most of them are in the cabin now.
Thank you for your visit and comment yesterday. This quilt thing is my way of making sure I finish them. I can't let my blogging friends down. HA!
I hope your shop is doing well. I know you are having fun with the hunt.
Have a great day.
Hugs, Jeanne
Hi Diane... It's been a while since I've joined in 2nd Time Around... so I thought I'd start the New Year right!
I love that last little chick with the S&P eggs... how cute is that!?
Hope your New Year is wonderful and that you're keeping warm!
Cute chickens and roosters...they don't go with my kitchen decor either but I love them and I have friends who decorate with Roosters!
Loving 2ND Time Around.
great finds. I love rescuing stitch work and changing the frames. And, I love your string dispenser. Blessings
Oh I love the chickens and roosters. I so need the one that you can hang a towel on for my kitchen. Thanks for sharing your little treasures. My post is up.
Come and see me.
Have a great week,
Sherry

Beautiful vintage chicken collection,Diane! I love the one with an egg, how cute is that!...Christine
Diane...all the Muse country farm chickens are just so EGGSited over your little beauties!!
That string holder has stolen my heart.
I am being lazy and am missing out on all the activities. I think I may be brain dead or something! I hope it's "or something!" Wow..I remember some of those things...especially the chicken towel holder on the wall!
I love the chicken salt'n'pepper set, such fun. You have some lovely vintage things.
