Well, if we get a bird , we do have a place to keep it! A few weeks ago as I was browsing in a thrift-collectible store I saw this beautiful Victorian bird cage....I asked the price and drooled over it. I finished paying for red and white willow dishes and took a final look at the bird cage.....a few days later I decided I'd like to have another place setting of the willow dishes and returned to the store. That bird cage just called my name.....before I left I had put that beauty on lay-away because I would need the truck to carry it home......
Today, I brought it home....It took some maneuvering on my part to unload it and carry it around to the back porch...but as the Little Red Hen said, "I'll do it myself, and so I did".Now to break the news to my husband....he goes in and out the back door several times a day so I knew he would see it.....well, his birthday is April 3rd, what a perfect gift! Of course, he was thrilled beyond words......(I'm being a wee bit facetious)..... now to find a bird........

A lovely bird cage, I have not
seen anything this fancy before.
Can't wait to see your new bird
friend!
That's so beautiful and I reckon it's big enough for a parrot! New idea for hubby's birthday present?
I LOVE this!!!!! I would love to have this myself. AND the little hatted lady too.
What kind of bird are you going to get? This is just awesome.
My Show N Tell is Gone with the Wind this week!!! Hope you can stop by for a visit.
[ps...love the layout you've chosen here ---AND did you change your profile photo? That's a very nice one!!]
It is lovely. I know you'll find the right bird and I'll look forward to seeing it some day on S&T!!!

Yes, you need to find the right bird now. :) What a great find! Looks great on your porch!
Facetious AND courageous! My husband would set the bird free...and me.....if I gave him one!
Just teasing a little...but it is good to know their love language. Birds are not in his language!
How beautiful the cage is....and you are so right...you must have a bird. It is calling for a bird! Can't wait to come back in a few days and see that cage become a home!

That's really pretty! As a bird-person, I would recommend a cockatiel! We have one and he's a little lover! Although, if you get a boy bird and you are the one that fools with him the most, he will be very protective of you and jealous of your hubby. Ours is a real firecracker though! His name is Squeegy and he's actually our 17 year old son's bird but thinks that I belong to him! Hand raised are the way to go, they are very comfortable around people right from the start!

I don't blame you for having to have that bird cage. It's really beautiful!
I am a bird lover. I have 2. :) Your cage is gorgeous! And I'm sure your husband will be thrilled! :)

What a lovely bird cage. Will that be going inside or out I wonder.
Hi Betty, what a gorgeous cage, I hope your hubby liked his gift...I wonder what yours will be. Maybe birds for the cage.
I love you Easter treasures from your friends in Wales.. Linda
I like the new look on you blog, Betty. Nice bird cage, too. You can get a big bird for that cage.
Hi Betty,

My but that is some birdcage! More like a bird palace. Very pretty though. I can see why you could not resist it.
Your granddaughter is doing a wonderful job on your new look. I just adore toile and love this as a background.
Happy Sunday to you Betty!
