"bonjour birdie"

got a bit of a birdcage thing going on...

just can't resist them

in all shapes and sizes

and of course they all get a good touch of the white spray paint

 used a white gloss on these, yes i surprise myself being a strictly matte gal

gotta say, some things just look better with gloss

(eek, did I really say that...)

these were all thrift/garage sale finds

i love how easy it is to incorporate these smaller birdcages into home decor

here's one of my little white birdies in a cage - yup, still haven't got my bird's nest, it's still summer you know, mamma shopping has to wait....

of course I couldn't stop at just birdcages...

so I stamped up some "bonjour birdie" vintage ribbon

I know, it is sooo cute!!

here's a birdcage all dressed up in "bonjour birdie"

and these are the two birdcages that currently reside in my front hallway

the smaller one is actually a little candle holder

i'm not really a yellow gal, but I see quite a bit of yellow going on here!

can never resist sunflowers, I honestly think they are the most cheerful flower ever, they just make me want to smile :-)

hope this makes you smile too!
