Animal House

In my last post, I talked about using flowers and greenery in my vignettes.

When I brought home this little rocking bird from an after Christmas sale, I noticed that I frequently use animals too.

After I put the rocking bird on the mantel, 

I went looking to see if I could find any more birds - the aqua bird was hanging outside on a vintage window

and the birdbath was tucked into the garden.

As I stood back and looked at the mantel, I wondered what other animals I would find in my vignettes.

A whale watches over the living room 

and a horse stands guard in the guest room.

Pigs greet visitors in the entry

as does a felted "Little Lulu" my sister gave me for Christmas.

I was surprised to find that the most common animal to be seen in the house was a bird -

on a candleholder in the living room,

on a shelf in the kitchen

 holding twine in the guest room

and watching over linens in the hallway.

And then there is the most important animal in the house.

Lulu is a little sad because her curly locks were cut off last week.

It might seem silly to others, but I enjoy our little "animal house".
