The Right Price
While finishing the assembly process for a batch of birdhouses I usually begin thinking about the materials I have on hand that can act as trim and perches. If I have wooden kitchen utensils in good supply I grab 6 - 10 spoons, forks and spatulas and cut them down to size. The leftover bits often make solid perches for the next batch of houses.
I see such utensils at thrift shops or yard sales on a regular basis. You can believe I snap them right up if the price is right - and it usually is!
"I spy with my little eye..."
I noticed today, after arranging ten utensils on my living room coffee table, that a good-sized grouping makes a nice display of its own.
Future artsy-fartsy project? We shall see.
