the birds

did you ever see that old alfred hitchcock movie, the birds?
that movie completely.freaked.me.out.
i think that's when i developed an almost-phobia of birds. cannot stand birds in real life--despise them.
but give me a ceramic bird and i'm all there!

the other day i started wandering through my house taking a picture everytime i saw a bird. here are the results:

on the window sill in the laundry room

on a stack of books on my coffee table

in a little french dish on a side table

on another stack of books on a bookcase
(i also happen to love displays of 3 items and the number 3--very convenient since that applies to us. sadly, my favorite number is 5, but since it is highly unlikely that there will ever be 5 people in our family, i thought a bunch of 5's everywhere would look slightly odd!)

on a side table in our bedroom
a turquoise bird--does it get any better than that?

cute little canvas i picked up at target. this is hanging above chris' bedside table.
he hasn't said anything, but i'm sure he loves it. ha!

uh-oh. looks like i might have the beginnings of another little addiction.
have you ever seen a cuter owl?

i also love birds on jewelry. i'll save that post for another day.
you're welcome.

  4. I love all your birds and that little definition of nest is adorable. You must take after your Mom! Same feelings--don't want birds near me but the inanimate ones are so cute! Reminds me of a day about 2 weeks ago in Bible ministry...a bird visited my jacket..remember your experience with Becky?

  5. That was a scary movie every time I see all the black birds gathering around the trees and power lines in the evening I think of that movie! But I do love birds, in real life and decorating with them too! Love all your tweet little birdies and your cute little hootie!
