this one's for the birds

Birds.

Tweet-tweet-le-dee!

Those who know me personally understand that my heart skips a beat at the sight of anything to do with birds - {well, besides actual real ones... whoops}!

I LOVE birds - all shapes, sizes, colors and kinds... and apparently, I am not the only one with this fetish with the nesters. {Enter Mayme Baker, please... after all, "birds of a feather..."}

Much to my delight, our shop is covered with the most wonderful bird accessories and items that can give me my daily dose of feathered friends.

And, it's hard to contain my excitement about these new additions to the flock -

I think it'd be putting it pretty lightly to say that '{some}one flew over the cuckoo's nest' with the arrival of all these beauties! ;)

feather your nest

"be like the bird that passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings." - victor hugo

as most of you have heard, this spring will bring something wonderful to the studio - we are anxiously anticipating her sweet arrival any day now. Mayme is expecting a baby girl!

so while waiting {...sigh!}, we are feathering our nest - complete with planting our summer flower boxes. these pink, purple and yellow babies are tucked in with fresh soil and good food, watered and ready to grow! by mid- June, they'll be an explosion of delightful color! - we'll keep you updated.

much to our delight... as we were working from planter to planter, we heard some soft chirps. lo and behold, some smart mama bird had hid her beautifully constructed nest all safe and sound behind one of the boxwoods. she obviously knew a chic snug spot when she saw it! it must have been the bubblegum pink shutters that drew her to us. those are sure to be some fashionable little hoots she sends out into the world!

while we're on birds, you must come check out these fine feathers here at the studio... to add a little lovely to your own nest!
