Blue Monday

Welcome to Blue Monday hosted by Sally at Smiling Sally. Click HERE if you'd like to visit the other Blue Monday participants.

First of all, let me
tell you how much I love bird houses. Big ones, small ones, and in between sized ones. So you can imagine how excited I became when my sweet friend surprised me one day with two of the most adorable little Royal Doulton bird houses. I'm so fortunate to have such thoughtful friends!

The little bird houses are about 4 inches tall and they're part of the Home Tweet Home series.

"The Greenhouse" (It's really mostly blue.)

"Butterfly Garden" (See all the different shades of blue?)

Did you notice that my tablecloth also has blue flowers in it? Hee hee hee. ☺

Thanks for dropping by and Happy Blue Monday!
Diane

I used to have a birdhouse collection and had forgotten all about it until I saw your Blue Monday post! I will have to go on a treasure hunt in my basement!

Blessings to you from Kansas,

I love the birdhouses. Recently we found a box in our storage unit and it had a birdhouse that I thought I left in our house 3 years ago when we moved east. You would have thought I won the lottery as I was so excited to be reunited with the birdhouse. Of course my husband thinks I am nuts:) Thanks for sharing your pretty houses with me today.

Thanks so much for your comment about my recipes. For some reason I'm thinking "food" all the time lately. Could it be my diet☺ As with anything good in life...it's better when it's shared and who better to share it with than friends...

Great bird houses. I used to make wood bird houses. I have given most of them away. However, I can see two of them on a book shelf across the room.
