Sweet, Sweet Honeysuckle...

After what seemed never ending days of rain...Here comes the sun.

Not bad for a beginning.

Beginnings

Like many beginnings, there is a fair amount of hesitation. This is no different. This blog is my first & hope many more will follow. I am, among other things, a graphic artist that recently started making birdhouses. Funky, vintage, rusty birdhouses.

In order to make these houses, I crawl through rusty, rough junk at local rusty-junky shops and attend auctions. I prefer the auctions. Something about finding the items you want, then winning them after bidding. Feels like victory!

Recently I attended an auction and after winning vintage plant stands that were do or die must haves, one got left behind. Didn't discover this until the following day. Was able to go back & there it was. Still there. Surprises like this are the best! It already had a place with birdhouse and was happy to be able to complete it. One of those people that have an idea of what I want something to look like and find it difficult to let that idea go. This is the final product.
