More wooden birds for my kitchen - this one from today is 4-in-1, pretty neat.

If you count them as 4 individuals, I now have 7 wooden birds perched around my kitchen.

Ca-CAWWWW!!

I love em.:revolving_hearts: My neighbor brought me a beautiful set from Guatemala many years ago and I believe another friend ended up taking it. Forgot about them till just now.

They look so lovely perched around your plants :heart_eyes:

Thanks. My favorite one, the one that started this, is my big toucan. He’s on another cabinet.

It’s fun looking out for them. There are plenty of bird figurines/wooden birds at the antique mall but it can’t just be any one for the sake of it. I know it when I see it. First one since around Christmas, I think. I hide lizards/lizard art all around the house too. Same deal.

I have a tendency to over-collect so I am proud of my restraint :sweat_smile:

Oh that super cool and I think I remember you mentioning that.
It’s your space and you are filling it with what you love and enjoy :two_hearts:.

I can understand what you mean by restraint. I was like that with some Bob marley pics/ paintings/ art etc and realized I may have gone a bit overboard :rofl:.

I know I’ve posted about my baseball bobbleheads here before, many of which have been found in antique malls/thrift shops.

Had been thinking about this (non-thrift) cabinet for probably a year for them. Finally went for it. Thrilled that I did.

It also solves the dust problem. SO much fucking dust in Arizona, these guys were covered.

Prior…not optimal

Now w/ cabinet

I’ve been thrifting things for my move at the end of the month. I got divorced a few months ago and ditched everything and started over with both furniture and decor. It’s been a fun journey and a good form of coping through my recent sobriety.

So I wanted to start a thread sharing mine and other’s cool thrifted finds here! :black_heart:

Found a really big wooden bird for my collection. Yucca palm for scale.

Not sure about the spot yet, might move him. There are now 8 wooden birds perched in my kitchen.

Different kinda book, but it got me thinking about my favorite thrift find ever, or at least among the most useful. $5 usd! Has helped me identify and learn about so many animals that I see in my yard.

I could just do it on my phone but this is much more fun.

The antique mall in my neighborhood has a 1st edition signed copy of Stephen King’s “IT”…
