Oh, my, do the chickadees & nuthatches love this one. A new design that the backyard "littles" have commandeered!

THIS FEATURED BIRD FEEDER is an ORIGINAL DESIGN made with a vintage 1970s bowl-shaped Porcelain Tea Cup by Vista Alegra Porcelain Factory of Ilhavo, Portugal, done in the “Paprika” pattern for their Hearthstone Block collection: cute little flowers in yellow, orange, brown & paprika-red with a matching red band set against a pastel grey background. Makes a super cute addition to your backyard!

This bird feeder is built on a SMALLER scale specially crafted for songbirds. Large birds—crows, jays, etc.—try their best to get at this little feeder, but the design is more accommodating for the little ones. The small cage has stretched openings just "big enough" for slighter songbirds to feast without having to compete with the larger, more aggressive birds. Plus, the squirrels get frustrated when they discover their heads won't fit through the bars. 😊

It’s O N E – O F – A – K I N D !
Aside from being an original design, Mrs. B adds special touches to really make this bird feeder stand out from the crowd. To ENHANCE THE VINTAGE APPEAL of this beautiful old tea cup, she uses:
1. A vintage-style metal bird cage, rusted & distressed by hand;
2. Color-coordinating hardware;
3. An iridescent vintage-style flower bead to cover the bolt heads; and
4. A darling little bird charm to add a touch of whimsy.

It’s V I N T A G E !
The tea cup has a history. The mystery of a well-loved vintage piece is part of the allure. Was this precious cup a daily favorite, or did it only come out for special occasions? Who held it in their hands over the years? Choosing to bring this old treasure into your home not only gives you a direct connection to its past, but a start to making new memories of your own. 💕

It's B U I L T - T O - L A S T !
All pieces are carefully drilled, BOLTED TOGETHER with heavy-duty hardware and secured with professional grade epoxy. Built to withstand the changing seasons, it should give you and your loved ones YEARS OF ENJOYMENT 💕
