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! :)

Love all your "tweet" little birds! These are quickly becoming my favorite things to collect lately. Must be spring...
Patricia :o)
Hmmm, wonder who that could be...
Wonderful tweety birds! The birdhouse Penny made looks perfect on your dining room hutch. It is one of those pieces that will prove flexible, yet it looks great there.
I love the touches of spring in your pretty cottage! The birds, birdcages, eggs, nests. I love birds in my house, too. Your vintage bowls are lovely! I agree, the more imperfections, the bigger the story!

You have a lovely way of displaying your treasures! Enjoy your company.
Your hutch and dining room look so wonderful. I love the colors. I have never seen the old mixing bowls with green stripes! Only blue, red and brown....
I love the birdhouse sitting on your hutch. It makes me smile to see it there.
xoxoxo

Your home is so beautiful Becky! I love all the little birdy touches -- spring is definitely on it's way!
I just love visits to your cottage! All of your little birds are just so darling. I am loving your white hutch with all of your treasures. Those old bowls with chips and cracks just give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. What a lovely post!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Oh too funny Becky! I called that one! Isn't it funny how we intuit things like that without ever having met? The birdhouse does look just beautiful in the dining room, I just love what you have done with this room! I have birds all over my house, I think we all love the dear little things:>)
Just love all of your sweet little birdies. There is a blog I love...hmmm....let me think...http://heksaogkatten.blogspot.com/ She has lots of birdy things in her sweet little cottage. Enjoy! My only bird was left out by its terrible owner this winter and fell apart. sniff. I had just spray painted it white, too. Stupid owner.
Beautiful birdie vignettes. They are charming little figures.

Looks beautimous, of course. . . .
hmmmm. . . . methinks your special visitor may be from the east coast! Have fun xoxo P
Becky,
I love the birds too, and this reminds me that I need to refill my bird feeders out doors. My little friends will be peeking inside the window soon, as if to say hey lady, where's our food? The chickadees are my favorite. They're just too cute!
I love your hutch with all the white pitchers. Everything is so pretty.
You have a wonderful weekend with your family and special guest.
Blessings

Hi Becky,
Yes it is 60 degrees here today and birds are chirping, such a welcome sound. Your dining room is so pretty, you did such a great job and I do love the way you have your hutch looking, 5 stars from me.
Hugs,
LeAnn:)
What "tweet" birdies - and I love crockery - even if it's chippy.
Becky~ I love all your "tweet" birds. They are so cute and your
new birdhouse looks so good on
your white hutch. If that is Tina's
Kathy,girl I know she knows what
she is talking about. I bet I know
what sweet tweet is coming if your
son is excited...HA.HA. I did click
on the first HERE and nothing came
up but the second one did and I
saw my #6 Crock was $100.00 and I
only gave $15.00 for it about 30yr.
ago. Yeah!!! Found several of mine
on that site. Thanks for the info.
Hope you have a good weekend.:O)
man oh man..do we have the same taste..love your birds! I have that same McCoy piece too..and to many bowls..can that happend? Have fun with family my friend. Glad the weather is going to be nice.
Oh my how I love it all, the nests, sweet little birds but most especially those bowls! I agree the more crazing the better!
Your little birds are precious!! You have a beautiful home!!
Those birds are very tweet indeed. I like the way you move things around - keeps everything fresh, and lets those little birds get all the exercise they need, winging around!
I love the birdies. I spy a McCoy piece there, I think - the one with the bird and the bird bath? Love it.

Hi Becky
It seems that many of us like birds and have lots in our homes. Yours are very sweet especially the white ones and Penny's birdhouse looks great in the hutch.
hello my friend....... and your "tweets" are tweet..... I am looking out my window looking for spring. I used to collect vintage bowls but have been in the past year or so giving them away....... Shame I did not know you a few years ago.... I had a couple that you would have loved..
I have been on a blog break but trying to get out and visit some...
Love all your bird items and especially your beautiful new mosaic birdhouse from Penny. Don't you just love it? It turned out so pretty. I know you are proud of it. Love & blessings from NC!
I adore all the birds. They are perfect in your home. And so Springy. Love them!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Kim
Everything does look so "tweet". I love the whole hutch.
Janet
Birds are so HUGE this year! Have you seen all the lovelies at Pottery Barn? Yours are all darling and I didn't realize how tiny Penny's precious bird house was. That makes it even more darling! :)
~Liz
So pretty! Your home always looks so lovely and inviting.
Love the birdies! I sure wish spring would show up in my neck of the woods - oh to live in california again!

I am drawn to anything that features a bird! Your vintage treasures are so beautiful!!! ~ Violet
Definitely the more birds the merrier. You have such a sweet collection. I am on the look out for some faux eggs this season!
The real birds are driving the cats crazy as they watch through the window. I've added to their torture by hanging a bird feeder just outside the office window ;-) Am I a mean mommy?
Tell S to enjoy the special visitor! You too.
Hugs,
Lallee
So many pretty birdies!
Mom loves the old mixing bowls! They're the best!
Love ya lots
