Admitting is the First Step

Before I discuss my addiction I will share what happened this weekend. Most importantly it was my father-in-law's birthday on Saturday! We celebrated on Sunday in Hot Springs at their house and had a great time.

My dear friend Meredith dropped by to meet Mamie and brought along a bag O'treats.
Mamie now thinks of her as Santa Claus.

Also, Beau got a new truck. Actually it isn't brand new but pretty close.

I rearranged the hutch for the billionth time. Don't you love the pigs??? I'll have moved them off and back on again by next weekend.

So now it's time to talk about an addiction that has been brewing for quite some time but I've just now realized it. I am obsessed with bird decor.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Exhibit A:

This vase and sticks are from my wedding and I've used them in the dining room corner for a while. They've needed some flair so I picked these feathers up on sale for less than a dollar at Hobby Lobby. Normally feathers run anywhere from $3 up so I've been waiting until some went on sale. I'm going to add seasonal fillers to the bottom of the vase. I bought some fall pine cones and leaves but Meredith said people won't talk about me if I wait to put them in after Labor Day :)

I got these plastic cereal bowls from Target. They'll be perfect for chili.

This came from Julie's, a boutique in Malvern. I used a gift certificate I got as a wedding gift. I'm going to put little pumpkins on it in a few weeks.

This silver dish was $3 at a thrift store.

And then there's these prints......

This wreath was my inspiration for the robin's egg blue table in our living room.

And last, I bought this wreath from Michael's on clearance for something like $7 which made my day since they easily sale for $40 and up. I'm not sure it's safe to be outside so I may move it but then again, it was cheap so I really won't lose much if it gets weathered.
