Look What I Found

A while ago this caught my eye (and the eyes of quite a few bloggers and decor magazines I read):

I have seen it for sale at urban outfitters and around the internet including Amazon.com from $120-$140. The first time I saw it I swooned a bit, I admit I have a thing for birds and owls in decor (just like everyone else it seems, put a bird on it!), They are sort of all over my room.Especially in white ceramic forms.

Well, look what I found today at TJmax on clearance for $16.99?

quite a resemblance, right?



I think he fits right in, though I am contemplating if the branches look too much like weird spiky hair coming out of his head, what do you think?

And shall we take a moment and notice the other birds in the room? Well there's Wednesday, who is hanging out on the corner of the bed in this picture, she had followed me into the room and I put her up there so I wouldn't step on her by accident while moving around to take pictures.

This little painted metal bird on my desk helps me stay on top of my school work (and yes, on that little dish where I charge my phone there are 2 painted sparrows)

There's another on the other side of the desk, next to my reading lamp. And there are a total of 4 little birds on my bookcase:

And birds on my jewelery stand:

And can you find the 6 birds in this picture?: (click the image to make it larger)

This probably seems a bit out of control, doesn't it? Being a bird lover myself (and a bird owner) and given that birds in decor are so "in" right now, I see so many sweet little bird items in stores, and just can't resist. I am hoping after the publicity Portlandia gave to the issue, someone will start a support group I can join.
