My Little Red Bird


When I saw the title for Sue's Rednesday I knew that this was the perfect time to show off my little red bird. I found it in an antique shop several years ago and instantly fell in love with it. It just looked so darling that I knew I would have to bring it home. I have something else to show you too. It's a tole painted "silent butler". I found this at a thrift shop and just could not resist.


Thanks for stopping by our cottage today. Sue always hosts a great Rednesday so please stop by and see her reds too at It's a Very Cherry World.

Love,
Susan and Bentley

  1. Hi Susan and Bentley,

    I love your little red bird, but I like the silent butler best of all. Now what exactly was a silent butler used for? I know somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind I knew this at one time or another, but I just can't recall.

    Happy Rednesday!

  7. Your red birdie is gorgeous Susan! It's definitely something that I would have bought to, seeing as I can't pass up a bird figurine!
    Happy REDnesday, and give Bentley a little scratch behind the ears for me!
