Added to our flock!

Well...  sort of! 

The bf and I went driving around the island today.  Or more like half the island because we were getting tired.  Hehe.  We ate brunch at Kahala Mall and came across these incredibly cute resin figurines at The Paperie!  They are called the "Home Grown" collection by Enesco.  They are fruit and veggie themed animals.  There is something for every animal lover, I think!  Fish, birds, dogs, cats, bugs, reptiles, rodents, etc.

Just a handful of the cute collection!

I instantly fell in love with the mango lovebird (the box says "parrot") and knew I had to have him!  The first thing that came to mind is, "I've got to try to get pics of Mika next to him!"  I'll give that a shot tomorrow or Sunday morning.  ;)

"Mango"

Then I noticed a coconut owl.  I love cute owl things because I call my bf "Owl".  So this one was another "must have" for me.  :D

"Coconut"

You'll notice in the first picture that there is a daikon (white radish) cockatiel to the right.  That one is next on my list to get.  After looking the collection up online, there is also another figurine I want to get that isn't available yet but is on order - a "pear" (pair) of lovebirds!!  How cute is that?!  There is also an avocado parrot that reminds me of a Kakapo.  I may or may not want that one.  We will see.

Even the bf thought these things were cute.  He was happy to add this lovebird and owl to our flock.  They are small, they don't make noise, they don't require cages, they don't eat or poop.  The ideal pet to him, I'm sure! LOL

Oh, and I forgot!  Even the box oozes cuteness!!

How can you go wrong?

 

I heart bird jewelry!

Those that know me in real life know I'm a nut for CUTE silver bird and owl jewelry.  I adore earrings and bracelets, but don't care for necklaces.  I have a pair of custom owl earrings I got from Etsy as my "every day" earrings, a pair of bird earrings the bf got me that I wear on weekends, and a pair of owl earrings from Coach that I'm saving for my wedding day.  ;)

Up until now, I had never really found any bird/owl bracelets I really liked - especially in sterling silver - but I finally have my perfect birdy bracelet!!  

My Pandora charm bracelet!

I've seen Pandora bracelets from years ago and thought they were nice, especially since each one is unique to your tastes, but I never thought to get one because I didn't care for the charms they had at the time.  Well, a couple of weeks ago on a whim, I checked their site again and found...................... BIRD and OWL charms!  I was very excited and jumped to create a bracelet.  

I got three birds to represent Mika, Kano (RIP), and Raptor, an owl to represent my bf, and an assortment of other charms that have meaning to me (plane because I love to travel, house to represent family, etc).  The two with hearts are from the bf for our two year anniversary and this upcoming Valentine's Day.  I may buy an extra or two for the "far in the future" birds.  ;)  Just look how cute they are!!

"Happy Little Bird" charm

My bracelet is near completion, only needing maybe 5 - 6 more pieces which I'll get next month during their "Spend $100 and get a bracelet free" promo.  XD  


I have found a new hobby.  LOL
