Bird-serk

I have had a mild bird obsession lately.  It’s fair to say I’ve gone bird-serk.  We have a bird print or two, bird candle holders, figurines, banks, and salt and pepper shakers. 

V loves this little guy from Target:

I’m considering painting this one, but for $1.00, it’s not so bad.

I like how this set of salt and pepper shakers from Target perch on our plate rack, watching over our dining room.

So, technically this isn’t a bird, but it is a bird-cage candle holder.

I saw this felted wool pincushion on Etsy.  I hesitated to buy it, but figured, I save money on other things, so why not splurge on something handmade?  He’s cute and he comes in handy while sewing. 

Ev has a little owl bank hanging out with his pig and turtle friends.

I still haven’t satisfied my bird obsession, either.  I have my eye on two Amy Ruppel prints.  Remember the other from this post?  How adorable/clever is this little pillow?

I may have to do a little DIY version…
