So at the same yard sale that I got the vintage tripod... I found this... my chenille rooster... that I named Shaquille Chenille. No, I'm not a Shaquille O'Neil fan... but I love basketball and I love the SUNS and Shaquille rhythms with chenille... so there you go. Oh and they wanted a dollar for him!
Look at the variety of chenille fabrics! I love the nubby textures (enlarge pics), the deep, rich colors and the fact that he does not fall over. Seriously, perfect balance... you set him down, he stays there. He is quite a handsome, stately ole gent. All to say, I'd have paid more.
That is one fine rooster! What a deal! He is GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know I received my seed packet yesterday; and I'm just so excited! I posted about it on my blog today! Thank you so much; I will share pics of my lovely hollyhocks in the future! :)
He is Adorable!! What a steal! His name makes me giggle. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute rooster, Linda! Looks like someone put a lot of work into making him & you get to enjoy.

ReplyDeleteLove your rooster! I need to make a path of chicken feed from your house to mine, so he can find his way over here:)
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute!! How tall is that? It looks huuuuuge! I could just hug him! Heh!
