I love hearing the sound of birds chirping! These sweet birds are only 31/2” long but the entire nest with branches are almost 11” long. The birds are made from old prints I had in my stash. They have tiny glass bead eyes and they are each holding a tiny wool strawberry. They are sitting in a warn nest full of vintage cotton batting. Kindly indicate by letter, which one you would like.

Owl Bowl Filler

With the cooler temps and the leaves falling from the trees, I’ve been hearing so many owls in the woods surrounding my house, I decided to make a few for this update. This owl is approximately 7” tall to the tip of his witch hat. He is made from lightly stained osnaburg fabric and stuffed with fiberfill. His eyes are vintage upholstery pins that are securely attached and his nose is a square nail. He looks very dapper with his witch hat and his big green bow around his neck. He holds a small broom, ready for Halloween. He will come to you with a cup of dried putka pods, ready to add to your favorite bowl or crock. I have three of these available. Kindly asking $32.00 each with $7.50 for shipping. As with all of my items this is not a toy and should not be given to children younger than 12 years old.

Merry Christmas Kitty

A darling Christmas kitty to bring home for the holidays! With her snowy fur and deep cranberry velvety bow and bell, this precious kitty will take you through the holidays, and on to Valentine's Day. Her little ears are folded forward and her hand stitched face includes smoky blue eyes. Her soft body is made from cotton sock fabric and is stuffed with carded wool and fabric scraps. Visible hand stitching and slight fabric aging complete the primitive look. Shake her and her little bell jingles. Even though sweet to cuddle, keep in mind that it is not a toy. Kitty's body measures 7 x 3" with her tail reaching 4" long. Shipping is included in the price. I'm happy to be offering the doll quilt that you see in the kitty photos in a separate listing. They look wonderful together. **Please click on photo to see more of the kitty.**
