A while back, I read on someone's blog a tip
on decorating that has stayed with me...
Don't buy a decoration smaller than a baseball
I have a huge problem with loving the "littles"
so I really took that tip to heart.
Now, I have a decorating tip I'd like to share.
I've learned this the hard way!
Don't buy smaller decorations in singles,
always buy them in a pair if it's available
About a year ago, I bought this little round
picture. I loved it, but never hung it up because
it was too small for most areas or just seemed
dumb by itself.
There were several different birds to choose from
so I could have bought a pair, but chose not to.
Yesterday while down in McKenny, I found a sister
for my little bird picture at a consignment shop.
Now, I've finally got a place to hang them
since there are two...
They seem to go well with my tub full of faux
flowers and a bird's nest or two...
I'm sticking with faux flowers these days.
With the heat in Texas during August, it's
hard to keep real ones alive.
Thanks for dropping by!

These are adorable, and I do like little ones. In our smaller home little ones fit in so well and are great fillers. But your right is there's a pair I will buy. Looks very nice in our vignette.
ReplyDeleteI really like those...they are too cute and look great above the lamps!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect place for a PAIR!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm dealing with a lot of "littles" in my house right now. I wish I'd read that decorating tip l-o-n-g ago!
Those are so pretty! They remind me of some of the Nell Hill items I've seen before. So glad you found the second one. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the birds and I agree about buying in in pairs!
ReplyDeleteGood tip, love the birds, glad you found a second one. I'm addicted to littles, the smaller the better.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found another small bird picture. They look perfect together now. I've done that before too...bought just a small something and then it looks too tiny to ever use anywhere. Good decorating tip. Thank you!
ReplyDeletethey are just gorgeous and what a smart tip!
ReplyDeleteI agree, that is a great tip and those are fabulous little pictures. It's so awesome that you found another one because the pair look amazing above the lamps.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard that great tip of not buying smaller than a baseball, certainly makes sense. Love your little birdies. So glad you found them. Is is my imagination or are we displaying more bird pictures than usual. I'm cleaning and find I've painted more birds than I can remember, didn't know I liked them that much.
ReplyDeleteI love the frames these are in too! They are adorable. Thanks for stopping by and yes, please borrow the sign idea!!
ReplyDeleteI certainly agree to some points that you have discussed on this post. I appreciate that you have shared some reliable tips on this review.
ReplyDeleteI love these little bird pictures! They remind me of something I might see in my Nell Hill decorating books. : )
ReplyDeleteI used to {and probably still do} have a thing for smalls as well. I have tried not to buy them since we down-sized. Especially since I got rid of so many when we were packing up to move!
A wonderful suggestion, those little bird plaques are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI have a house full of ' smalls' mostly ceramic English cottage miniatures, I just can't seem to bring myself to boxing them up :)

Wow, you are so lucky, what a find! I have to remember your tip, because I am a "littles" fan, too!!
ReplyDeleteThose are good tips, buying in pairs, and nothing smaller than a baseball! Love your bird prints. So glad you were able to locate another because they look lovely over the beautiful tub of flowers! ...Thanks for stopping in to see me, and they sweet comment on my crab basket! It was a favorite find for me! Take Care, Rhonda

ReplyDeleteThey are darling! Buying in pairs is a smart idea. I think the exception to the rule about pairs and smalls is if you are doing a gallery wall. I just bought a cute wall vase and only bought one instead of two because they were more than I wanted to pay. Already regretting it. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

The heat was horrible wasn't it. I'm so glad it has finally cooled off a little bit. What cute little pictures. I love the littles too.
