Found a pie bird at the thrift, I almost never see them, so either I'am not paying attention or they are hard to find. Got four good books so that should keep me busy, and a new picture of how my flowers are coming along. And my front porch bird and birdhouse cart. Think I will add some plants to it and then its full.

I've NEVER seen a pie bird here in a thrift store, either. That's a really pretty one, Nancy Jo.

Pie birds are WONDERFUL! I think that folks don't know what to do with them. Lucky you that you found that little cutie in the thrift.
I wish people got rid of cool stuff around here--seems like it's just 1980's clothes!
p.s. I JUST now got the brief done..Mr. Fed Ex came to the door and I handed it off. Nothing like working on something from 8:30 til now!

I saw the picture, but could someone please explain to me what a pie bird is/does? I think it is adorable though!

Alee, you put the bird in the middle of a pie when baking, and it lets out "steam" through its beak! Helps to keep the pie from bubbling over! Clever, isn't it?! They have been around for years.

That is the coolest pie bird. My mother in law had a pie bird, a blackbird, we have it now. My dh loves to bake.
Great finds.

Just an add...because I can't find a cool Pie Bird like Nancy, I use cut up plastic kids straws....does the same thing, though not NEARLY as cool as a pie bird!
