Bird-Dog

What? What is THIS?A box from my sweet friend MICHELLE! Huh? Why is she sending me a huge box in the mail? Could it be Tom Selleck? There aren't any ventilation holes...oh my! But I DO know CPR! Tom, oh Tom...are you in there honey?
So I feverisly open it up...no Tom...BUT, there is a darling ME card with the cutest birdhouse on it! After carefully removing the scads of packing around a huge object....
...I unveiled THIS!!! Remember Michelle sharing a birdhouse that her loving husband Rob made for her? I just loved it so much and they made one for me!!!! Isn't it cute? I am just so surprised that I was blessed with this cutie pie!
It is just perfect and I love the old brass door knob for the perch and the pitched red roof made out of beadboard. And check out that chimney! (click to enlarge photo). Totally Mary Engelbreit looking!
I have been putzing around lately and am slowly but surely adding bits and pieces on my patio to make a little room. The birdhouse is the perfect addition to my shelf. Thank you Rob and Michelle!!!!!! I LOVE it so much!
But wait, there is MORE!!! I got a double dose of spoiling in the same day!!! Awhile back a sweet lady emailed me asking if I would like for her to send me a soap that is a Scotty Dog. I honestly am a shy person and get all embarassed when people offer to give me things. Time went by and I forgot about the offer until I received this fabulously wrapped box and lovely note.
This adorable Scotty Soap is from a lovely lady named Sarita (love the name by-the-way!). She knows how I am a passionate Scotty owner and gave this precious wee one to me. Love his top hat, too!!!!
Sarita, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing him with me. I just adore him and he has found a home on a shelf in my powder room. He just fits right in nicely with the old bottles!

Thank you, sweet friends! I'd hug you if I could reach through the screen!

Happiest of weekend to y'all and happy trails to you!

Becky, I need to tell you..& I am not fibbing. I met Tom Selleck ! It was the summer of 1984, the year I graduated from college. My best friend from high school is Hawaiian. Her father was stationed here in Va. when we were in HS. He retired and they moved back to Hawaii. Her Mother's family has been care takers of a privet beach, called Lanikuhonua, for generations.(the property is owned by very old English family) A position that gets handed down to the oldest daughter.Someday my friend will live there. But, anyway, I visited after i graduated from college. And since it is a private beach, it gets used to film alot. Also adding to the property income. They have luwahs there too.
So, Mr. Selleck was often there. A family friend.
So, imagine sitting in your friends kitchen & "what! Tom Selleck just strolls in & heads for the fridge to get himself a soda!" Really, I would not kid you like that.
And he is very nice. Amy
