Gone To The Birds!
I've gone to the birds!
It started with a vintage bird cage I purchased in Idaho on a shopping spree.
It came with the sweet rhinestone brooch!
Of course, I couldn't stop at just one bird cage. I bought another at an antique shop. This one came with a stand. I added the rhinestone star and made the ruffled skirt.
Then I had a bright idea. Gee, maybe a couple of birds will be fun.
So, I bought a couple of zebra finch.
Aren't they cute?
The couple had 6 eggs within a month!
While waiting for the eggs to hatch, I accumulated 3 more bird cages. After all, I have to have homes for the little ones! I bought this white vintage bird cage at Bungalow in Agoura Hills.
I bought this pink vintage bird cage at Very Vintage in Agoura Hills where I rent space and sell my cutepinkstuff.
The bottom tray is secured with 3 of these cute metal owls.
Unfortunately, the finch eggs didn't hatch, but I'm anxiously waiting for more eggs. I'm hopeful for several baby birds, so I moved the couple to a new "condo" I purchased on Ebay.
I added this beautiful vintage rhinestone brooch to dress up their "condo."
It's great fun watching them.
The male has orange cheeks, speckled feathers and a darker orange beak. He has a distinctly longer songlike chirp.
He's so cute!
He's more trusting of the two.
The female has an orange beak and is more plain in color.
She has a shorter, quieter chirp, and is more tentative. We haven't named them yet, but welcome all suggestions!

Happy Thanksgiving!
We're cooking for 15 people this year.
Possibly a daunting task, but having new Thanksgiving dishes makes it fun. I bought the blue and white plates at Marshall's last year. I patiently waited a year to use them. (If I could find Thanksgiving dishes in PINK and white, I think I'd be the happiest homemaker this side of the Mississippi!)
I love these Pottery Barn place card holders. I have them for sale on my website, but I'm secretly hoping they don't sell so I can have them!

Pumpkins.
Love pumpkins. . . .pie, muffins. . . .
I forgot to post this photo of our Halloween pumpkins. That's another reason why I like pumpkins, they carry over into Thanksgiving! Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!

California Christmas
Well, it's difficult to think about Christmas when Halloween is next week, my roses are in full bloom and the temperature is in the 90's.
Yet, as fast as time flies, I know I better get started on some Christmas creations.

It Arrived!
The anticipation of a gift arriving in the mail is almost as exciting as the gift itself. ALMOST!
Elyse ordered a mouse pad from my website and. . . .
I've been wanting one of her painted soup cans so. . . .we swapped.
This is what arrived! Elyse always goes ALL OUT when swapping. I've crowned her the swap Queen! Elyse, thank you so much for my "tinkered treasures!" Your cutepinkstuff will be arriving soon! You can find Elyse on Etsy here!
