I love to find little china or glass birds at the thrift and garage sales. I put them in my plants. I took a few pictures. I got a plant from my Aunt's house years ago when she passed away, it had a little bird in it. I left it right where she put it and its still there. So one day I thought why not find some birds and put them in some of my other plants. So that is what I have been doing. I think its a nice idea if you are giving a plant as a gift to put a little china bird in it.

Nice rolling pin to add to your collection. And very cute birds. Good idea to put them in planters.

My MIL put all kinds of things in her plants. Ceramic birds, sea shells, and even fake flowers. But when I see yours, Nancy, I think they look so nice and homey. They remind me of her.

Gosh, Nancy Jo. So many of your thrift store finds bring back memories for me. My grandmother (from Buffalo) used to put china birds and other animals in her plants. I always played with them when we visited her house. When I went to the estate sale cleaning out her house last fall, I was drawn to this little china bird on the sale table. It seemed familiar but I couldn't remember why. Now it all comes back! It's one of those birds I played with. I've got it on my dresser, but now I know where it's supposed to go and I'll move it when I get home. |

The birds are really cute in your flowers. I never thought about doing that, although I have put the concrete ones in outside flower pots. I also have a couple of concrete bunnies I use.
