for the birds....

i posted last week on facebook that i thought a homemade birdhouse would be a stellar christmas gift.  this house is the first one commissioned... i love it - photos don't do it justice, i suck royally at photographing these birdhouses. 

i love things that have a history, a story to tell.  i prefer old and grungy over shiny and new... every single thing on this recycled barn wood house is recycled/upcycled/repurposed - whatever catch word is trending these days. 

jeff and i scour garage sales, flea markets.... the toss out bin at his repair shop... and that's what adorns my houses.  new stuff? bah.  give me rusty, dirty and slightly... 'off'. 

now, back to the studio for commission #2.
