So grab all your summery vintage "stuff",

and let's kick off the start of summer

 At the Picket Fence

Vintage Bird Figurines

I was inspired to attend a few parties today
after a long weekend,

So I thought I'd share a few of my vintage birdie figurines.

These two little vases made in Czechoslovakia,

 are in my dining room,

keeping all the lambs company.

Eeeeck. Look at those darling parakeet cheeks!

And 3-D plates in a bathroom grouping

I think these are supposed to be goldfinches.

Of which we have tons of here in SW Missouri.

They love thistle in a feeder and can eat you out of house and home!

These little fellas are being adopted

by Erin and Keith for their anniversary.

They are vintage Stangle Pottery,

and I bought them from an elderly neighbor.

They had belonged to her mother and are from the 40's.

On ebay they carry a high price tag...

But E and K have an eclectic decor with

vintage parrot prints above their mantle.

I thought these guys would be right at home.

And I almost forgot this little Lefton beauty;

A flycatcher, with  gorgeous coloring,

in pristine condition.

Vintage Summer Monday's

is a new weekly party that Alabaster Rose Designs is hosting.

This is only the second Monday and I wanted to join in the fun.

So run by and say Hello

To Melinda at Alabaster Rose Designs.

 

And say Hi to Marty of A Stroll Thru Life over at

Table Top Tuesday

Hope you had a Happy Memorial Day ,

Sending prayers for all of those "in service" to our Country.

love,

Debra
