For the birds

Yesterday I went to a unique event - a Bird House Sale.  Building these one of a kind bird houses, all from recycled materials, is a hobby of a local minister.  The minister of my church actually.

The event ran for 2 hours ~~ 1pm-3pm.   I arrived promptly at 1:05pm to make sure I was able to get the best selection.
I was one of the first to arrive and Donnie was at the door to greet all the "bird brains", as he called us.  I think he had about 60 different houses for sale.  I looked at maybe 10 and turned around and the room was FULL of people.   I snatched up these 2.    And as you left you were presented with a bag of bird seed with each house. 
I love the tags on each one.  "Not just for Baptist Birds"  cracks me up!   I would be shocked to hear that the sale lasted until 3pm.   Most people, like me, left with more than one house.

My plan is that one of these houses are for me and the other is a gift.  So...which one should I keep??
Please give me your opinion.   But keep in mind, I am leaning towards the red one (not that I want to influence your opinion.....lol)

I hope you all have a lovely Easter Sunday.  I over-indulged in a large turkey dinner so I have been in a bit of a turkey-coma most of the evening.

  4. Well since you are leaning toward the red one I of course would lean toward the green one. I hope you get birds in your birdhouse, as opposed to bats in your belfry. :)

  6. Go with the red! But, I wouldn't mind the green one at all! I just love this type of bird house, made with all the little discarded doodads! They are fun!

  7. Even though green is my favorite color... I would keep the red one as it reminds me of a saltbox house! Cute houses!

  8. I love birds and bird houses. I would choose the green to keep as I love the long, lean look. Also, green is my favourite colour!

  9. Definitely the red....Unless you're gifting the other one to me - then you should keep the green. (Just KIDDING!!! They're both darlin' - but I like the red one best!) Smiles & Hugs, Robin

  11. Ha, too funny, love the tag. Those are the cutest bird houses! I love red, but for some reason I am drawn to the greenish one. Good luck with your decision. I'm horrible at making them. :)
