A partridge not in a pear tree. One has to compare them in the set to know which one is which. The hens and calling bird can be confused with the partridge.
This is an ornament that I bought at a craft store. It is an amazing one with all the fake stones and detailed decoration. It looks like it is sitting on the head of the partridge but it is not. It is a medium sized ornament and probably is one of the most decorated that I own. I have another in a different shape that I bought at the same time in a bargain sale.
This is a Seth Thomas clock box that was converted into shelves. The clock insides were probably tossed when it stopped working. I store all sorts of nothings inside of it that seem to collect as I lived my life. I would pick up things as I would wander through the land.
My father-in-law was good at picking up boxes of junk at auctions. He would take out of the box what he wanted and give us the rest. The ceramic birds were in the box and they are old. The Velveteen Rabbit is actually my wife's that she had as a young girl. The elephant was shared in the earlier blog.
Old bottles become a collection as I pick them up from a burn pile on a farm. A third bird is on the shelf with a cat that was made in China. The small slab of polished rock was my dad's handiwork. The glass stagecoach is from an Avon collection of fifty years ago. I tossed a lot of them but kept this one. The lid to the bottle is under the plastic seat part of the coach.
The things on top are a variety of finds from different areas of the country. The bottle was found underneath my porch of my old house which I found while working on it. The house has an unknown origin.
Our promised wind has started and the future temps are looking to be very cold. We had snow melting today and then the cold will come in to the area. I bought a lot of groceries yesterday and the price tag should prove we have enough for a long time.
Thanks for checking in today.
