Monday Mood Board : Family Addition

Family addition again .... But this time a very twittering bunch. We got 6 baby swallows and they are starting to learn to fly at the moment. Funny enough we have 3 parents. Must be a triangle relation. Did you know that they all come back to the nest after a whole day flying, eating and twittering ? Around 22.00 we see them return in the nest, but it has become too small for 9 swallows, so a few are sitting on the beam next to the nest :) Therefore, some sweet swallow pictures from four of our European Street Team members on Etsy.

Monday Mood Board: Birdies

I am a hero :))) I just saved a beautiful small birdie who had flown to my window. I took her in my hands, because I wanted to keep her warm. Those tiny birds cool down so very fast. I stood there for some minutes, and then I felt she started to move again. I opened my hands, she looked a bit disturbed at me, hipped a bit around on my hands and then...... she flew away ! Therefore, some lovely birdies from four of our European Street Team sellers on Etsy.

Monday Mood Board: Duck

This morning we had a stray duck on the fence in the garden. She was sitting there for quite a while and did not care that Peggy and I were in the garden too. It was as if she was thinking, let me have a look what those people and that doggy are always doing there in that garden ..... To honor this friendly visitor, here some cute ducks from our European Street Team sellers on Etsy !

And here are the real things. We have a brood of swallows in our pavilion and a brood of blackbirds in the kiwi. Now, I have to keep Peggy away when they start learning to fly....

Tidbits : Monday Moodboard

This Monday's moodboard is colourless, because I feel colourless at the moment. The whole weekend I tried to take good photographs of my new rings, but I was not very succesful. And the colours were teasing me; every time they came out differently. So, today I hate colours ! Maybe I will only make black and white rings in the future....
