A wee birdy in a pear tree
Forgive me for indulging my passion for all things ornithological, but following a year where birds emerged as a major decorating trend, the interest hasn't let up for the festive season. So without further ado, here's a wee birdy or two for your tree. I've sourced these various feathered folk from London shops and my fave online stores. See the bottom of the post for stockist details.

Large tin bird, £13.58, from VVRouleaux.
Multi-coloured glass parrots hanging decorations, £8.95 for a set of three, from Dotcomgiftshop.

And I'll just sneak in a few fave birdy cards, as well:
Elle and the Snow Dove Postcards, US$16 for a set of 8, from BelleandBoo’s Etsy shop.
Pear Tree cards, US$10 for a set of four, from BlueSnailPaper’s Etsy shop.
Season’s Greetings cards, US$6 for a set of four, from EnfinLaVoila’s Etsy shop.
Top bird tip: if you click on the link to an Etsy product and it has sold out (they tend to do this quickly as they are one-offs), make sure you click on the link to the actual shop as they will often have the exact item listed again.
