The head comes off and you put candy inside if you want.
Here are a bunch sitting in a nest of old plastic foliage pics and a star garland I just got from my mom. Along with a preview of my new woman cave chartreuse couch. I'm going to post about my new sitting room next week.
For some reason Mom cut some of the leaves off the mistletoe, but she saved them. Thanks Mom!
I really like that the birds are so determined looking, plus glittery.
Its a lucky thing that I like them so much because I got these on Ebay. In the heat of the last moments of the auction, I entered four digits and forgot the decimal point. Needless to say, I won. I'm fortunate that the other bidder wasn't completely wacko, and hadn't made the same mistake!
I got this cute sleigh at a thrift store. Its nice as is, but not the right colors for my new room.
The birdies do look cute in it. I couldn't find my doll that I wanted to drive it. But I might before Christmas.
I'm linking up to Colorado Lady's Vintage Thingies Thursday and the party at Very Merry Vintage Style. Check out the other cool vintage Christmas ideas!
Kathy, I love your little birds. You were so lucky to get them on ebay. One of my favorite shopping places. Love the glitter and the sleigh is a sure winner.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty new at this and still learning. I am you newest follower. Stop by for a visit, perhaps you will choose to follow me as well. Ginger
I enjoyed seeing your little birds. They make for a special sharing for today.
ReplyDeleteAs a birdie collector, I'm gobsmacked. I HAVE to go looking online for these. Keeping my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteThe ones with the open mouths are worth more I believe. My lot is a mix of open and closed mouths. And beware of the ones that appear to be sitting on their tails. They should cost a lot less. I'd like some of those too because we had some when I was a kid and I remember my brother and I laughing at them.
ReplyDeleteSo look carefully before you bid!

I love those birds, I've never seen them before. Fantastic displays.

I've never seen that kind of candy holder before.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDelete(Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog!)
These are the birds that my mother in law gave me that she got when my husband was born in 1947. So every year we put out his bird. Thanks for showing them......
ReplyDeleteThese little birds are pretty and of course the glitter makes them even more wonderful! Thanks for linking up to my Holiday Party!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen those birds before! Of course, I understand why you love them. They are so unique and intriguing. Your display in the painted sled is darling. Would you really love to know why you mom cut the leaves off the plastic garland and then saved them? I find that so interesting. I wonder what her thoughts were. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog ~ good to hear from you.
I love those little glittery birds. We used to have them as Christmas tree ornaments when I was little..I don't think their heads came off though.
Those are cute!
