I went to an auction today. I go to find things to sell in
my little antique shop, but usually something finds a
way to come home with me to stay.
And that's how it was with this vintage bird feeder.
I couldn't resist it's charming look, metal roof and
shallow bottom. I think it will be perfect for
those dried meal worms for the wrens!
I've found that I can't hang a bucket-full in the tree because
at night the raccoons climb the tree and devour the whole thing!
So this will be perfect for putting out just enough to last the
daylight hours and I can add more the next morning.
I'm loving the way it looks in the crab apple tree!
And I made sure I had a good view of it from inside, too!

That's definitely a keeper!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! I'm really enjoying it already!
DeleteIt's a precious little feeder, and looks perfect with your stained glass cathedral style window as a forefront.
ReplyDeleteSweet !

I know..it was just meant to be!
DeleteWhat a great find. You're right. It is charming.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I finally got to see the moon last night. Astonishing. Sad that I missed the full moon but even 3 days later it was spectacular.
DeleteIt is still big and bright even if it isn't full! Amazing! Glad you got to see it!
DeleteWell that's just beautiful and a good idea about only filling enough for daytime feeders.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was afraid the coons would pull it don't and destroy it.
DeleteThey dragged that little bucket across the yard! haha.
That looks like it will do the trick
ReplyDeleteAnd keep the raccoons from eating what we think is ick
But they and the birds love the worms
Maybe they can come to sharing terms?
I wonder if they care
Deleteto share?
The coons come at night
when the birds are out of sight.
Greedy things they are
as they leave things ajar.
Very cute.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a cute apple holder, too, wouldn't it? Just needs a nail to hold it.
DeleteThat is precious. I would keep it, too!
ReplyDeleteI know...I had to have it!
DeleteIt's adorable, and looks so cute from your window too!
ReplyDeleteThat's the best part...being able to see it from the inside!
DeleteHow perfect that the view of the chapel feeder is surrounded by your beautiful stained glass window. It was meant to be!
ReplyDeleteWell now, that's a good point! Maybe I need to put a halo on Garden Girl and finish the theme? haha.
DeleteHa! Perfect!
Delete💕
ReplyDeleteIsn't it sweet? :)
DeleteHi Betsy - lovely ... and lucky wrens ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting to see a wren! Hope they come!
DeleteA lovely piece, especially for religious wrens . . lol
ReplyDeleteIt looks really great . . . :)
lol.....maybe the nuthatches will like it? I always say they look like they are dressed like nuns.
DeleteAmazing bird feeder! It's like Sir Titus Salt's memorial. I hope the wrens are impressed.
ReplyDeleteI hope they are, too! If they aren't, they are hopeless! haha.
DeleteThat is just a lovely view! Going to Dublin to see your niece?
ReplyDeleteYes! They are there visiting Grandpa! :)
DeleteWow, great piece!
ReplyDeleteInnit? :)
DeleteThe birdfeeder is absolutely stunning, especially through that equisite stained glass window.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue.....so fun!
DeleteI hope your little birdie friends remember to say Grace before tucking into the seeds. "We thank thee Betsy for what we are about to gobble down before Cyril finds it".
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
