As we prepare to take down the Christmas decorations, I'd like to highlight my fat little birds. I am a big fan of fat little birds, and these were the first of what is becoming quite a collection, to the point that, when I brought home some Halloween salt and pepper shakers in the shape of a mummy and a monster, the Husband took a look and asked hesitantly, "Are they birds?" If in doubt, guess birds. That's our motto around here.
Anyway, I bought these original fat little birds from my favorite local shop O'Suzannah before Christmas last year. I couldn't bring myself to pack them away in a box once Christmas was over, so they stayed on our mantle all year, where the Husband could easily mock them for their obvious lack of any aerodynamic qualities. Which is not at all the point of fat little birds. This year they got a garland to stand in. We're about to bid farewell to the garland, for this year, but the fat little birds are always in season.
