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".
