Baroque bluebird, watercolor on Etsy, sold 5" x 7"

Since I've started blogging almost 3 years ago all sorts of new obsessions have developed....

One of them is since they're so much fun to draw...

Rococo bird, watercolor on Etsy,sold 5" x 7"

Plus they make the perfect companion to macarons...

And you do see , like on these plates at ANTHROPOLOGIE...

This Chrismas ostrich decorating Bendels is not a good example really....

But this diamond-adorned Peacock at Harry Winstons certainly is.

I went to the Met research library to look at Rococo drawings and found this bird caricature of a printseller by Jean-Charles Delafosse...

My doodle...

I keep finding myself buying bird-related items like these Victorian die cuts

on Etsy from The Seasonal Cottage.

This bird-adorned Marie-Antoinette desk calendar from Digital Paperie occasionally lets out a chirp...

I found this vintage birdguide on Etsy too...

And promptly lost it amidst the apartment painting.

I'm hoping it will let out some chirps so I can find it again....

Last year's bird aquisitions are still in residence, very busily chirping away...

As for real birds, I bought myself a present =

A big bag of birdseed to feed the sparrows on my way to the pool.

So far they are not yet greeting me with open wings.

Hopefully by springtime...

BONNE OISEAUX!
