Today, we had another shipment of floral throws and heart cushions and white nighties as well as some lovely plates and bowls in the shapes of little birds.

I really like little birds especially willy wagtails and blue robins and actually I even like sparrows.  They are just sweet little things going about their business merrily and not really trying to look cute but they just are.

So we have lots of things at Lemon Pie with little birds. Aprons, tea towels, bags and tablecloths with little birds embroidered on them and plates and glass figurines and metal work all with little birds.  Makes a change from butterflies and chooks I guess.

Feng Shui wise, little birds tend to represent messages and success and all kinds of good things.  A painting or print representing 100 birds placed in the south is said to bring fame and  success.  So little birds are very auspicious.  Naturally I have several such paintings - one I commisioned from a street painter in Kuala Lumpur and the other was purchased in Australia by a feng shui artist hangs in my office on the South wall.

Has it brought fame and success.  Fame I do not seek, but success, I do believe so.
