.Earlier this week I had a rare few minutes alone so I made a quick stop at the local Salvation Army. I was digging through boxes of antique ornaments when a rooster peeked out at me from under a box.
When I started sliding boxes out of the way, I realized there were lots of roosters!
$15.00!!
It's old and chipped up and there are hand painted roosters and hens and chicks all the way around it. Red isn't my color but I couldn't help but think how darling it would be at one of our Three French Hens markets. I called my mom to come over and see my new find. And she laid claim to it as soon as she spied it! I'm not kidding, it was like a vulture swooped down!!
I never thought I'd actually give someone three french hens for a Christmas gift.
And look... we woke to fresh fallen snow this morning!!
I'm going to be singing the 12 Days of Christmas all day today.

That's a cool find on that FRench hen table :) :) I'd be just like your mom..when I find a treaure, I grab it, so no one else can take it ;) :) I've only had to do that a couple of times, but so worth it :) :) You can't let a treasure slip through your fingers :) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)
