This week we are on the letter B
So this week B is for Birds........
It all started with this little guy. I got him from my Bio-Dad's house after he passed away. It just spoke to me.
It is made by Goebel and I love the glazes on it
I remembered I had these salt & pepper shakers a good friend had given me for my birthday....they look a little angry don't they
This cute little bell with a bird on top came home with me one day
Soon Joined by more birds
and MORE birds..........it's an invasion!
NO, It's a collection!
These two are my current favorites. I love the color and they are tiny and just too cute! I got them in a 'junk' bag yesterday for 50 cents along with..
This cute little guy who is marked JAPAN
This one is a candle holder
You've seen these guys before and now they are my new header
An all white bird
So yes I would say I have a collection, and this does not include all the cardinals I have that I use around Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by..Do you have a collection you didn't know you had? I would love to hear what it is!

I love all of your birds, especially the chubby little blue ones in your header. And I've got those same tiny aqua-colored S&P shakers. I bought them in a little shop in Savannah. How neat that you found some.
Thanks for the visit..and kindness. I love little birds too, yours are very cute :D
What a very sweet collection of birds! They are all so lovely. Thanks for sharing them.

how special! Love your collecion!
Love your birds. Especially love the little set you have on your banner!I also have a collection of birds but they are not old they are newer and I just put them away in a box until I get ready to paint and talk hubby into new shelves in my bathroom. I decided to walk around my house and gather them all up the other day. I am going to link up with Alphabe-Thursday also. But I am not useing my birds.
I am afraid I have more collections than the law should allow!!! Your birds are so sweet,I really think they are so cute. Have a great VTT!
Those birds are just too too cute! They are precious
What a cute collection! My favorites are the ones in your header. They couldn't be plumper.
Thanks for the visit.

That is a lot of birds. You have a great collection and so many different ones. Very nice.
I love all your little birds. Some look as though they've had more than their share of worms..they're so sweet and chubby. They're all just adorable. Happy VTT, have a lovely weekend.
I love birds! and rabbits and foxes and elephants.... I guess I like a lot of things. But I always pick up discarded birds nests and eggs shells- compulsively.
Hi Linda,
When you start collecting birds, it's hard to stop. I know because I used to collect them and finally had to stop. Of course, now I collect other things, so on it goes!
Great post. I love all the little peeps.

Hi Linda!
Cute collection! don't ya just love how we gather a collection without even knowing we were collecting? LOL Love those little blue birds you just got and the ones in your header!
You not only have a collection, you have a flock.
You not only have a collection, you have a flock.
Birds are the best! Inside, outside, porcelain, pottery, carved, alive, plastic...you can't have too many! I somehow wound up with a collection, too. I'll keep adding to it, too!
I just love, love, love, love your bird collection! I have birds throughout my house but mostly in my kitchen. I don't have any sweet vintage ones like you have though.
Vintage Thingies Thursday!

Oh, this post is for the birds! Hehehehehehe
I love them all, but my FAVES are the "puffy" three that roost in your header.
It seems little birds kind of creep up on you and you wake up on a fine morning and you have a collection! A very nice collection I might add!
I love your little collection. Haphazard collections are the best. Poof and there it is!
Too cute! I love your new ones too. They are adorable.
I really love the two little pale blue salt and pepper birds on the cake stand. They would look so nice at my house! I can't believe you got them for 50cents!
Hi Linda! I'm always drawn to bird figurines. Guess that's how I ended up with my collection! I love all of your birdies, but especially that one that started it all. It looks like a little chickadee to me. Love your new header too!
Happy VTT!

Hi Linda. Your little birdies are really sweet. I think the little trio of blue birds on your header are about the sweetest I've seen.
See you in class....
I love your little blue bird salt and pepper shakers! They are totally B - eautiful! A+ for you on this B - equiling post!
Don't you just love it when a collection comes together??? All of yours are so sweet! Who doesn't love little birds?
Hi Linda! Thanks for stopping by. That made me feel sooooo good. I love birds, too. They make me think of spring. But I don't have that many. I think the precious munchkins on your header are so adorable. But I really like the ones that have an attitude. Those are so cute! Have a lovely rest of the evening. Rosie
That is how it starts..with one little bird... and then it all begins to grow and you need a bigger space an a bigger room and then a bigger house or in this case a bigger nest!
Joyce
I think I'm partial to the little yellow ones with the attitude!
Funny how you can accumulate a collection in no time!
Judy
I see you love little birdies too.
What a sweet collection of birds! I love the blue S&P shakers and the Goebel bird.
I did "B" is for birds also! Fun!
I have a collection of Dust Bunnies. no...really. They are everywhere! They just mulitpy like...well, like rabbits!! I never intended to become a collector, but here ya have it. A regular bunny farm! LOL
That's a lot of birds!
I like the Bluebirds of Happiness that you have as your header pic.
And I agree those two definitely look like grumpy birds. They probably slept in, so thet didn't get the worm.
Troy
OH what a delightful collection..they are all so different and all ssoo adorable :)
My absolute favorites are the cuties in your blog header! I *heart* them.
If you're older than me, would you consider willing them to me? ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou!!!
So, how's your health been? ;)
Nice collection. My favourite is the one from your father.
Oh, I love your birds, especially the tiny blue ones, I think that color blue is becoming my favorite. I love birds too, and have a small collection scattered throughout the house.
Now I need to get busy on my own Alphabe-Thursday post, thanks for sharing your birds with us!
Blessings,
Catherine
What a fun collection! I love those little aqua birds, what a great find. I don't think the S & P shakers are mad, maybe they are just dizzy from all the shaking! Kathy
Well, Gal, you have sure 'Feathered Your Nest' with all those cute birds. Love the tiny blue ones. I have some tiny sewing machines to show ya at SuKnitWitty...CollectInTexas Gals other blog that is having it's VTT debut today. Hope to see ya there.
That's quite an aviary you've got going on there!!
They're all so cute,
~Maggie~
What sweet birdies. Is that little guy a chickadee...what a handsome fellow!!
Blessings!
Gail
they're even prettier than real birds
Oh my! I love all your little birds! And the blue ones are my favorites!!
I am loving this collection!!
Definitely qualifiea as a collection and a very nice collection too!
What a nice collection of sweet little birds!
Yes, I find myself falling in to many collections often!
Katherine
If my eyes were better I would have realized I typed an "a" for an "s"...that's qualifies.
i love the baby blue salt and pepper shakers :D
I love it when someone discovers they had a collection and didn't know it. That happened to me a few years ago at Christmas when I looked around at my decorations and found out I had mostly snowmen things LOL.
Who knew? I love all the birds.
Those birds are adorable- I especially love the two little aqua ones- $.50! What a steal! Great find!
Hi Linda,
I collect little birdies too! You have a wonderful collection. So many cuties. Thanks for sharing. Oh and this is the first time I've heard of Alphabe-Thurday...I definitely will have to check that out. Thanks! Have a wonderful day.
Smiles,

I had no idea that salt and pepper shakers could look so angry, but you've shown me otherwise! I love the first little guy, too - I can totally see how he spoke to you.
As for books, I know that over time I will need to pare down my collection out of neccessity. And you're right about quality over quantity, I was surprised how many blah books I easily passed over!
You have a great collection of birds! And yes I seem to have quite a few collections that I didn't really realize I had...it just kind of happened!
Glad you joined VTT
Jane
sweet little birds...
Beautiful collection of birds, love the all white one.
Linda,
what a very sweet bird collection. I have a small one.... I have the same little bird on a bell that you have. Your collection is darling!
Blessings!
Gwen
OMG love the bird collection. The birds in your header are just adorable! Thanks for sharing your collection with us!
They are very cut all those little birds!
There is such a thing to have a collection that you never realized you had! It happened to me today!
Have a nice week-end!
France
What a lovely collection. All of them are so pretty. laurie
Your birds are just delightful. It's funny how we get into our collections. At 65, I'm beginning to downsize but I do have my collections - strawberries, mushrooms, daisies, unicorns, and elephants!! Strawberries are, by far, my largest - bedroom and bath, filled with crewel, needlework, decoupage, porcelain, pottery, etc.
