We had a lovely wander down the street to some markets on the weekend, and visited a couple of local artisans as well. It always great to support local artists and we came home with some lovely pieces - a couple featuring birds. As I tried to work out where the newest piece could go, I looked around and realised just how many bird and nest related pieces we have with us.
This is the newest piece by Alexandra Bridge - a local artist with a real sensitivity.
This is a favourite piece by our friend Tory . I pop twinkle lights around it and we have added one of Barry's copper pods - nest and egg like references.
And on the shelves in our kitchen are these two, artists' names written somewhere but not here sorry.
A very fine carving into wood with birds on a line...
A small ceramic piece following the same theme.
A couple of originals, artists unknown...

And then some winter flowers from the garden...

Turned into three small arrangements, each with character.

And coming home from a morning walk this is how they looked with that low winter morning light...serendipity.
What a beautiful post, Fiona. Always both soothing and energizing to see what you share.
