These little guys definitely need a trip to the bird bath, but other than that, they're great! I plan to keep some, share some with some special family members (you know who you are -- I hope) and sell the rest. Mid-century kitsch is so much fun!

In the Mail Today: Mid-Century Clip-On Bird Ornaments!
Look what came in the mail today -- these 1950s clip-on bird ornaments. These aren't classy and beautiful like their mercury glass 'elder sisters' from the early 1900s, but are totally kitschy plastic birds! They have a spring inside and they open and close like a clothespin. People used to put them on their Chrstmas trees in winter and their outside trees & bushes in the summer. I saw some on Etsy a while back and that particular lot was priced well beyond my budget, so I've been watching for them ever since.
