Decorating with Birds

I love birds!!  They are like my “little black dress” of decorating.  If I have an empty space that just doesn’t feel complete it seems like a little bird figure always does the trick.  Birds seem to be a hot trend right now.  However, as I got to thinking . . . they always have.  Remember the owls of the 70′s . . . the ducks of the 80′s . . .the primitive crows of the 90′s . . .????  They have always showed up in our decor in one form or another.  Here is something else to think about.  There is a bird the symbolizes almost every holiday.  They represent life and often have so much symbolism attached.  Here are just a few projects that were inspired by the beauty of birds

****I didn’t get everything posted . . . my computer was running so slow.  Come back this afternoon for more free downloads, videos, and more ideas : )

    These are both great projects, as are the downloads! Thank you for sharing these! The mail organizer is something I might just try. My daughter and son always keep their mail and notes, etc., on the kitchen counter, which drives me batty. I think making each of them something like this will help keep their paperwork off my counter and also help keep them organized.

    Loved the segment today on Studio 5 and went to the downloads, but the one that I wanted is not there. Number 5. Of course, after you so kindly posted everything else, I want the one that you did not post, but it is just soooooo cute. Would you please tell me where to find. I do not even know what to call it to look it up. Once again, as always, loved your segment, you are always so creative.

    Kristine,

    I have to admit that I am not a big fan of birds. I knew if anyone could change that it would be you! I love the mail organizer. I will be working on that this weekend. I hope you and your family are doing well.

    Loved all your bird ideas! Can you tell me which Shopko you got the bird cloche from. I have been to two of them in SLC and they do not know what I am referring to when I ask. Thanks.
