Beautiful Birdhouses & Winner

Some of you know that I have been working away on a
 little birdhouse project over here.

Ohh... I love birdhouses. 
 They are so charming in the garden on a pole or in a tree.
I love to create a little home for the birds,
 a place for their seed and a sweet accent for the yard.

My favorites are old shabby vintage ones and I love to use them indoors too!
This is such a gorgeous vignette!!!

 Big or small~
 extraordinarily detailed or simple crafted 
birdhouses are charming no matter what.
So, In doing some research for my little bird house~
 I found some absolutely amazing homes for our feathered friends.
Some of these are simply incredible works of art!

Birdhouses come in all different shapes and sizes and styles
much like our houses do.

But my favorites are the super charming
creative ones that are weathered and worn 
and absolutely delightful!

    Congratulations to Karena on her win!

    Those birdhouses are amazing, although when I look at the large ones, I can't help but wonder about the cleaning up that is involved in having so many birds visit. :)

    Oh my gosh Courteny, I love birdhouses and these are fabulous! I have seen the red roofed one before. In fact, I almost ordered it. When it comes to birdhouses the chippier they are the cuter is you ask me.
