I don't know about anyone else, but I had a heck of a time getting this post together. What in the world is going on with Blogger? It's impossible to load your dashboard. Took me forever to get this post together. Arghhh! "Taking deep breaths" I'm here now that is all that matters! Get on with it, Tina!Thank you so much to Gina at The Shabby Chic Cottage for hosting this event. If you aren't participating, no worries, you are more than welcome to view all the wonderful Feathered Friends photos posted by the participants.
I didn't realize how many feathered friends elements I have around my tiny home. I was kinda thinking...gee I must like our fine feathered friends ha!
Of course I have tons of birdhouses that I have mosaic'ed. I put a few together in a collage, or should I say, a mosaic of a few my mosaic birdhouses.....
I love the birdcage I recently finished. The focal of the roof is a lovely cameo of 2 doves...
I have at least 25 birdhouses overall that are already primed and read for me to mosaic; here are just a few (some are still wrapped up in brown paper)....
I have 4 of these left...
and this next one I'm keeping for me! ha!
I love the little mailbox by this side door. I havent' decided what I want to do with it yet, but that roof color is not staying! ha! I have birdies and birdhouses on my hutch...
I just have to show you a closeup of the birdhouse on left, it's got this great rusty, scrolly railing and balcony....
A cute pair I found thrifting....
I have a large oil on canvas painting of Swans on my wall (my sister painted it)....
And I have a birdhouse on a tree....
Do not awww at that squirrel on top of the birdhouse! He's NOT cute...he's the sneaky, dasterly rose bush and flower killer. He's worse than Godzilla! Squirrels are no different than rats; they just have better outfits!
And of course, I have birdies adorning Christmas wreaths; here is one I did in bronze n gold (sorry for the lousy photo). Ever notice how wreaths always look prettier in real life than in photos? See the 3 birdies?.....
Well, it's not all of my fine feathered friends, but I think I've shown enough for one day! ha!
Be sure to stop by Gina's to venture on to view the other Feathered Friends post!
Ciao Bellas!
Tina, your home decor is breathtaking!! Your sister is so talented I am envious. And about that squirrel...I have one of those guys hanging out on my back porch/yard, and I am threatening squirrel stew. lol Have a wonderful day. Your blog is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHello Miss Tina! I always love visiting you and I'm so glad you joined this party. I love all your birdhouses, birds, china - everything. But oh.my.goodness! The bird house with the doves in the mosaic takes my breath away! You are so talented, my friend. It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHey Tina! 3:30 AM? You're worse than me! Hope you don't have to be anywhere early today. I stayed up till almost midnight visiting bloggers.
ReplyDeleteYour bird houses are so fabulous. I was loving the green roof but I suppose it's a nice big area to mosaic. Enjoyed the rest of your bird collction too.

Wow! How pretty - glad I don't have to choose a favorite. I know what you mean about the squirrels - there are way to many around here and they are so destructive.

Love your quacker tureens...oooh...and those sweet bird napkin rings! You have a beautiful collection of white ironstone, my friend!

I am a bird house collector also but I don't do the beautiful work on them that you do. Got a kick out of your squirrel description!!
ReplyDeleteTina, your work is gorgeous! Everything you do is beautiful. I also like the white teapot collection...did you post them for White Wednesday as well? I know all the white lovers would love to see them. Have a very happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteMary

ReplyDeleteI love all your cute birdhouses and special touches you added. Your mosaics are the BOMB and I am so glad you wrote good instructions, just for me! The squirrel in the photo is so darn stinkin CUTE! I also like your new three generation photo on your sidebar. There is nothing more important than family and good friends. Have a wonderful one.

Tina, I just love all your bird houses. You are so right about squirrels their outfits are cute. I just have to tell you that you had me laughing when I read your post on my blog. Let's just hope my daughter doesn't read it. To funny!
ReplyDeletexo, Michelle
I love your line about squirrels...rats with better outfits....how true is that...It cost us $875. to have those buggers extracted from living up in our attic and between our second and first floor of the house....Your bird themed collection is wonderful and i really do have to buy myself those damn Target birds one of these days.....I always forget to look for them when I shop...and your green roofed birdhouse is great....Sue.
ReplyDeleteyour bird collection is amazing! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful bird & birdhouse collection, Tina! And of course, the mosaics are stunningly gorgeous. I would love to come "shopping" at your house!
ReplyDeleteGotta say, you sure must feed that squirrel really well. He's so fat he looks like he's ready to pop! :)
Your birdhouses are stunning!!!! Love them all...you are sooo talented! It amazes me all the things that you create with broken china! I forgot all about my birdhouses for my feathered friends posting until I saw yours.
ReplyDeleteSquirrels do have a better outfit than other rodents, but I still like to see them in my yard. I do not think they bother my stuff???? I need to be on the lookout though! I think you have been feeding him very well...hehe!
