Put a Bird on it - Part II

The bird thing has taken over my house.

That’s karma, isn’t it.

More often then not, when I’m out looking for specific trash, I usually find what I want.

I want birds.

I want owls.

For .50 cents, how can I go wrong with a hand-painted ceramic owl?

Have birds and owls always been there and I didn’t see them?

It’s like when I was pregnant with my first child.  I remember every where I went I saw pregnant woman.  All of a sudden it seemed like everyone was pregnant.  Was this a new phenomenon or was it because I was more aware?

I find this amazing velvet-covered vintage clover.  Yes, that’s the scene of an Irish pub on the front, cobblestone and all.

A few days later, I find this owl dish towel hanger.

No, I don’t want to hang a towel on this.

I just want the owl

In my Irish pub.

I love this for St. Patrick’s Day.  I’ll hang it on my front door.

I find a bird cage

and more birds inside.

The plastic grapes are a nice touch, don't you think?  I've got big plans for this beauty.  It's called heirloom white spray paint, vintage jewelry and NO plastic grapes.  

So, here's the question.  What if I put a bird on anything I find?  

Does it make the piece more valuable?  

More treasured?  

Can it make for a better re-sell?

A Boscoware Belgium Cast Iron Pot?

An old wood crate?

My $1.00 cheese dome?

The constitution of the United States of America?

I see the potential.

Maybe I should be putting birds on all my trash.

A retro cabinet hutch?

A vintage desk?

My Crouse-Hinds Walk/Don't Walk Urban Light Post?

A retro lamp shade?

Man, this bird thing could be huge.  It really brings trash to life.  I'll let you know if I see an increase in my profits.

Or maybe, I'm just mocking it.

I'll never tell (hee, hee, hee)!
