I’ve always wanted finches in my shop ever since i saw this at one of my favorite shops 2 years ago in San Luis Obispo, Ca. 
So far the “girls” seem to be a hit with the customers, they get to chit chat and mingle, making the customers feel at home. 
So, next time you stop in, make sure you say “hello” to the new shop girls, and they’ll tell you all about their day!
Meet the new shop girls!

Lovely little project……………
July 17, 2008
First, i found a wonderful birdcage holder a while back at a local yard sale. I put the birdcage aside, since i love to collect them. Then, i sprayed it white (who would have known?)…
I also found an old lampshade minus the shade part and attached it to the birdcage with a hook.
This is where you can be creative! I needed a way to hang my necklaces and bracelets in a way that made it easy for me to see all of them, and also made them look like art. 
Final view of the whole piece. It is going to go in the “closet project” that i am currently working on:)
You can use a vintage lampshade without the shade for any number of things. I have another one, only larger that i have hanging over my desk and from it hangs bits and pieces of things that inspire me.
And an old birdcage holder, oh my the thoughts are endless on that one……………………
Pretty in pink….

I was in Cali last week and we were driving down the 101 toward Santa Barbara when BEHOLD, a pink car up ahead!
I couldn’t believe my eyes, so i said to Bryan “catch up”
We did and it was just as lovely in person!
So cool.
We found this antique birdcage at a wonderful antique shop in Summerland. From the late 1800′s France.
I’ll tell you, if i could afford it, i would have bought it on the spot and shipped it home, but $2400 was not in my vocabulary!
I am on the lookout for a lovely antique birdcage though….
I have been wanting one and fill it with Finches for the shop. I saw this at a lovely little shop in San Luis Obispo (thanks for the idea Kimberly).
And last but not least, this wonderful piece was full of my favorites, old apothecary bottles……….
