birds

The wooden bird we have seems to be very popular.  I looked for some particular wooden bird by 'Discipline' from Italy, which B saw in the Alitalia magazine when we went to Sicily.  The first shop I visited was on the Brompton Road, selling Scandinavian goods.  I knew it was not where any Italian bird was sold but I dropped in.  The bird seemed to be the one I should bring home with me and I bought one on the spot.  Though, I tried to find the Italian even after that.  It was well after the winter sale began when I visited London early in January and they were all sold out at Heals and the Liberty.  

From the hindsight this bird seems to be lovelier and I am lucky.  The bird can be male or female with the lower part that can be upside down.  He or she seems to express feelings with the movable face part.

B always contributes to charming decorations at home; this bird is my contribution and I feel I can be proud of my choice.
