Birds on the loose!
Birds on the loose!
I was thinking about breaking up with my apartment... having commitment issues (as well as claustrophobic issues!). 4 yrs I've been with this apartment, practically an eternity seeing as how before that the longest I stayed in one place (let alone one state!) was roughly 8 months to a year! It was time to figure out how to be content here w/o breaking the bank (which was already broke)!
No before pictures <sorry> but with a little help from my friend & some cheapo frames from Goodwill this place looks bright & sunny & according to Tyler "like a band new home"...marching band I hope : )
~Would you care for a tour? ~
My little mantel, tried to keep it low key as (you'll see) there's a lot going on in here!(Kate, recognize a certain birdhouse on the shelf??)
Love this grouping of vintage/thrifted brass framed artwork!
Artist from top left going clockwise (links to the work if available):
yumiyumi, a self portrait by my Aunt Presley Marini,
Another yumyumi print & My big headed Tangled Girl by my dearest KJ The Dreamy Giraffe
The Black Apple (the link is to a similiar print), a lovely family of frogs original by the boy, watercolor by my Aunt Presley, Magic Jelly (print I won in this contest) & a photo of a shop window taken by my mom in Italy.
This bird mirror was a Christmas gift from my parents & it totally rocks!
Vintage wire basket art assemblage by moi.~that's frosted glass bird in the hand :) ~
AFancifulTwist Bird Girl, unnamed oil on canvas by my dearest talented Jill Armstrong & last but not least Too Shy by Menta (for some reason her shop is gone, I think she goes by a different name on Etsy now??)Lots of great artists on Etsy ( & off!) if you get a chance check out their shops!
This is where I sit whilst writing le blog!
Notice the mug :) heheheee!
A new pair of spring/end of winter earrings!
Hope you birdlings have a splendid weekend! Mine is already starting out lovely,
my mom & went thrifting this moring (pics & post to come later), I made a new friend

I may surprise her with cupcakes ... shhhh!

Joooooooo! So cool! I love all of the bird imagery throughout the house and I'm so happy to see the birdhouse on the mantle!!!
I might have to copy your idea and post shots of my house, too!
The flock has taken over! Feel free to steal my unoriginal idea :)
