Sometimes just a glance at something and you know immediately that you like it without a doubt.......
A few years ago my husband and I were out bright and early on a Saturday morning visiting yard sales......we stopped at a sale on the side of the road....as I got out of the van nothing looked appealing at all.......I didn't want to appear rude by turning around and getting back in the van.....so I walked down to a table at the end and there was this beautiful, white bird figurine......I am a bird lover......and to me these little birds just said love, protection, togetherness.......I picked it up and asked the price.......the lady said 'ten cents'.....and no matter that it's plastic, it has brought me innumerable hours of pleasure......it keeps company sometimes with expensive objects and holds its own............

My first impression when I saw the pretty little birds is that it is made of marble or alabaster (not plastic!)
This story tells me a lot about you, being so polite and not turning around and leaving. The Lord rewarded you for that with your little treasure!

Very sweet. I would have never guessed they were plastic. Great find!
It does indeed hold its own -- it's lovely! I never would have guessed it was plastic.
That is a very lovely figurine. A great thrifty find.
I love birds too. I thought they looked like marble or pottery, I would never have guessed plastic. They are very pretty and I'm glad you found them. Linda

Very sweet. It's hard to believe that it is made of plastic-good job.
How pretty! And sometimes I enjoy something all the more knowing that it was such a bargain!
Hi Betty, I must it looks expensive, I cant believe its plastic either,,,
Plastic or somthing else, it looks beautiful and that is the most important thing !
10 cents??? There are no yard sales. This was a beautiful bargain! I love birds too and can see why you would be pulled to this. It is so pretty. Just wonderful.
Yes, we do use any tools we need in life to get the job done. I now see everyone who visits me in blogland out there with their old butter knives. :)

Those are plastic?!! They don't look plastic at all. Looks like fragile alabaster in the lighting of the photo. None the less, they're perfect.
Mine is posted this week, it's a Valentine Wreath that I made this week.
Hope you can drop by sometime.
I never would've guessed they were plastic from your photo! Just goes to show you that beauty doesn't have to be expensive!

They don't look plastic, they remind me of "milk glass". If that is what it is called. I like them.
Thats plastic? Goodness, I thought it was a high-end piece... it is fabulous!
Would have never guessed they were plastic. I just love them! They are so sweet.
I never would have dreamed they were plastic! Looked like marble or alabaster.
They are exquisite looking and the impression they give of love, peace and togetherness is so special :-)
Simple things are a blessing. I love it that you didn't have to spend lots to have something that gives your pleasure. Your birds are beautiful.
You just find the most precious, lovely bargains.

you really can't tell it is plastic, it is a sweet treasure!
So pretty. I love birds also, and seeing one feeding the other does speak to my heart. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! I love the story behind it. :o)
You never had to say plastic, none of us would have known. We had a dove and heart theme at our wedding, so I too think it's beautiful.
Hi Betty,
Nice choice for Show and Tell. The bird figurine doesn't look plastic at all. What a nice find and for ten cents? Wow!
Betty,
I am also a bird lover and your bird ornament is exquisite. I thought it was made of porcelain at first. I'm sure it does give you many hours of pleasure.
Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
