I like to set glass in my front windows to catch the light. One of my collections has a permanent place in the dining room window...my pretty Blue Birds of Happiness. Not all of mine are made by the famous Terra Studios, but most of them are. I've found them all at thrifts and yard sales.
Here is what the window looked like for quite awhile. I love the blue glass pitchers also.
Recently I decided to change it up a bit and while in Hobby Lobby found two items for my window.
These pretty little glass tiles.
Dragonflies are very special to me!
There were two patterns and since I couldn't decide which one and they were 1/2 price...
I got both!
So these are some of my new favorite things along with some of my old favorite things!

Wishing you JOY,

I love them in a group like that, Linda! I have one that was a gift from a co-worker years ago when I left my favorite job to pursue other interests. I cherish it. I can see why these are a favorite thing because mine is. I've always loved it. :-)
I'm dropping by from Claudia's (but I would be dropping by anyway) to visit you. I'm enjoying her new meme. I like to see what people consider their favorite things. Being a magpie, I have many! ;-)
Have a great weekend. I came home for the night, but I'm off again soon!
XO,

Linda - As you know I have a ton of these. If you go to the online store and look below the birds on the front page, there is a place to enter to win a bluebird - just type HAPPY in the Subject line. I signed up and won the very next week. Write a little extra about your collection or how much you love them and I bet you will win! Enter every week until you do.
I love your beautiful collection of bluebirds of happiness. They look so pretty with the sun shining through the window. I have one that I bought in Hot Springs, AR...years ago. They really are special! Sweet hugs!
Very pretty and cheerful, Linda. I love that shade of blue. Deb
How pretty! My mother used to place colored glass vases in the windows. Nice.
Linda, I was in a neighborhood thrift store earlier today and saw a set of blue birds like these, $7. I thought it was a little high and I am not sure if they are Terra. I will go back to check them out, if they are still there! I have a dear friend who is also fond of dragonflies, she feels it is her nephew who passed coming down to pay a visit. :) xo
So pretty Linda! I love your window. I used to have one of those little bluebirds....years ago. I don;t know what I did with it though. I wish I still had it...:) I will have to keep my eye out for them while thrifting! Have a blessed Saturday!
Blessings, Vicky

I love your blue, Linda. The tiles are a really pretty addition, too!
Hugs, Nellie
They're lovely - so cheerful - and I like your new tiles as well
I also like the sun shining thru colored glass, and cobalt is my favorite shade of blue. In ,my decluttering efforts i almost got rid of some of my pieces, but backed off for now.
Enjoy your weekend.
Thanks for the memory of the Bluebirds of Happiness. I have seen them, owned them and sold them.
As I mowed the laneway this week I saw several bluebird...Such a treat. Yours are so sweet! Mind you, I have dragonfly mugs and bowls because they are special favourites!
What a perfect spot for them! Love the beautiful blue and the way the light shines through them.
I love your blue glass collection, Linda! It looks especially beautiful in the light. My mom has some of those sweet little birdies, I have always loved them.
So Linda - those are your favorite things? I know you love birds. And I love the blue glass on the window ledge to see the sun shine through them. sandie
Love, love, love, love, love them! As you know, Linda, I have a collection of blue birdies, too.
As a matter of fact, I think you have all their cousins cuz they look the same.
Ohhhhhh, soooooo charming. Great job! Susan
Hi Linda! Oh, how pretty! Your favorite things are my favorite things too!
Hope you're having a great weekend.
Be a sweetie,

The birds were pretty enough before but the stained glass really takes that display up a notch. Any kind of birds make me smile and bluebirds of happiness are even more cheerful!
You've got the perfect spot to display your pretty bluebird collection, Linda.

I must confess I didn't know about Terra Studios, but I am in love with those bluebirds of happiness! I love the way they catch the light - just magical!
Thanks so much for joining in this week, my friend.

I love the blue glass birds--the light catches them so beautifully, XOXO
Such pretty blue glass.......the blue birds are awesome
I love glass items in a window, too - so pretty! I have two of those blue birds and both mine were found at Goodwill! :-)
Very pretty! I love all of your vintage blue glass, and there is something so serene about dragonflies.
The blue glass just sings sitting up there with the sunshine!
I've always loved the way the sun comes in on your beautiful blues in that window. The tiles are so pretty. laurie
Love all your pretty sparklies, so lovely in your sunny window. I especially adore your blue birds. I inherited my mom's and I love it so much.
Happy week to you!
It's nice to meet you and your blog!!
I got here via a linky..
LOVING your thrifting aesthetic!!
I have never seen such a cool blue glass collection. My Mum had little green birds like that so I got a big nostalgia hit when I looked at those!
I have a Collection link up if ever you wanna join into it!
