For The Birds

Feeling like spring? There sure has been a lot of bird action in our yard these past few days. I think a few may have snuck in to roost in my dining room.

That is ok…the more, the merrier. Don’t you think?

Several of you asked where my mosaic birdhouse will end up. You know us girls move things around a lot – but, for now, Penny’s mosaic birdhouse sits on my white hutch in our dining room. (Kathy, you were right!)

I have had several emails asking about my crockery bowls on top of the hutch. They are old mixing bowls (except for the solid green USA pottery bowl) from the 1930’s and 40’s. My favorite bowls are ones with stripes, like these green ones. They match the green legs on my old metal desk that is now our dining room table. My favorite crockery bowls are made by USA, Watt, Red Wing and Bauer. Here is a link to find vintage bowls – click HERE, HERE and HERE. I have found some of my bowls at thrift stores, estate sales and antique stores. These old bowls often times have a wonderful old crazing to the finish – and maybe a little crack, chip or stain here and there. After all, they have a history and a story. The more imperfections, the bigger the story – don’t you think?

Have a “TWEET” day, friends. Back next week!

A sweet little birdie is flying in to our coup for a visit!! We cannot wait, especially my son! :)
