Baby birds

Today while browsing the isles of Target to my surprise I stumbled upon some baby mercury glass birds.  I was so happy because they were exactly what I was looking for to put in the nursery. Unfortunately they only had one large one left, but I did happen to see some more small ornaments  for Christmas, so I picked one of those up as well. I have seen these exact birds at other stores for $20. I paid about $10 for the two. When they get some more in I want to get another large one to have a set.

Again I just love the way mercury glass sparkles. It is so much fun to start building a collection of new and old mercury glass. I actually have another petite antique vase on hold at the shop. I will post pics of that one when I pick it up. Until then enjoy!! and happy hunting!!

    Love the mercury glass. Seems to be a big thing at the stores this year. Great for us antique dealers!

    I think it’s such a lovely sentiment to pass on your love for antiques to your little one… I too hope that one day I can do the same.

    Hmmm… I perused Target’s Christmas aisles just the other day and didn’t see those. I need to go back! Thanks for sharing them.
