White Wednesday



These are close ~ up photos of a IRON {and I mean thick and heavy IRON} birdhouse "condo" I have owned for twenty years.

I bought it at an Illinois' auction, but was from Missouri originally. I knew the auction consignors, and they traveled the country finding the most incredible stuff.



There are 4 cute little doorways and the inside is divided into 4 "units".



And just in case birds CAN read the For Rent notice is painted on the roof.

  1. Hello, stumbled upon your blog and I love it. I too collect junk...errrr...treasures. It all started many years ago as a child looking in peoples trash cans in the alley ways...lol. And the wire twistie thingys...great idea. I will simply have to visit again.

  2. What a condo! I had a friend who built an owl house and put it up in his garden with a 'For sale - would suit young couple' sign on it. I think it was quickly occupied!

    I shall try to follow up this White Wednesday, although I mostly go for cream myself (too much of a coward to cope with spills, I think).

  5. This is one GREAT birdhouse! I love it! Anything made out of a different material than normally used just makes my heart beat faster. I love the stairs and the nice way it has rusted. How fabulous to own this!!

  13. Don't let the birds in my garden see that gem, they will ditch their digs here pretty fast.
    I love it!

  14. Your bird condo is amazing! I envy this special piece. I've never seen anything quite like it.

    P.S. I posted some pics from the 127 Corrider Sale (aka world's longest yard sale) a few days ago:
