Whoooooo says Thrifting is for the Birds?????

Just back from an incredibly long and draining trip to see my parents in Snowy Idaho....we drove and took the dog with us and between hospital visits, doctor visits, some home repairs and errands here and there I managed to come home with a few treasurers and when I unpacked them I noticed they were all bird related!!!

On the road we stopped at one thrift store and I found this cast iron owl, a set of white doves, one natural colored dove and a little set of three owls.....

At Cracker Barrel I found little blue bird S&P shakers and I bought two sets to place around areas in my house....this little guy sits on the bird house table I thrifted and re-purposed and put the birdcage on it with sea shells.....

His partner is on the coffee table in the Living Room by my sea shell lamp and pictures of the boys on the beach and the shot I took of a rainbow right over our house....

This little pair sits together on the mantle by my Seth Thomas clock and hand turned bowl I was given....don't they look sweet?

I painted the cast iron owl a yummy gold color and he sits on the TV next the the family picture I love so much. The little owl trio I think I might keep for Halloween....

Now, back to the stack of paperwork, unpacking, laundry, grocery shopping, projects waiting to be attended too....yes, true, am living the dream here!!!!
