Not only is today Flag Day, but it's also my sister Marty's birthday!  Happy Birthday Marty!!!


(Yes, I swiped the photo from her blog, but I was the photographer, so I don't feel too badly about that.)

I spent my birthday at the dentist learning I needed root canals.  I spent Marty's birthday at the dentist having a root canal.  We're not having any more birthdays.  We agreed.  We can still get each other awesome gifts, but we are officially not having birthdays.

Besides I would like it better if she were 3 1/2 years older than me rather than the other way around. 

After my root canal, I stopped at an antique mall in New Oxford, PA.  I found this bird!

Liz will tell you I've been looking for a stuffed bird for a long time.  Ever since I read a French decorating book (which Liz has and I've yet to replace, so I can't tell you the name of it) which had gorgeous photos of stuffed birds in French houses.......


I HAD to have one!

Liz did tell me to NOT EVER do this:
Which just made it impossible to resist.  Sorry Liz!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Hope you're not spending it having a root canal.

P.S.  Marty has some interesting information on her blog about a new Hawk Run Hollow design.  You might want to check it out!!
