So anyway, on with this SHORT post. I know you know I am a Victorian soul and adore all things Victorian, especially taxidermy birds and not just the one's in glass domes.
So it may come as a surprise to you that I would drag home this guy after one of our sales a couple of weeks ago...
I couldn't just leave him there at the low price of $18!
So home he came...
where he took his place of honor on the marble shelf...
of the pier mirror...
at the front end of the parlor!
See, I told you it would be short. Thanks so much for visiting today!
