Birds of a Feather

Metal Flowers and Birds, Round Top Collection

Welcome to Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch. The birds are gathering here at Hyacinths for the Soul for lunch. Glad you could join in the fun!

Bécassine Figural from HB Quimper Tabac Series

Bécassine is here to greet our guests with bouquets of

fresh flowers and seed for our feathered friends.

Unmarked Desvres Figural Salt

As are our sweet young French friends, 

Monsieur Jean Marc and Mademoiselle Sophie.

Jean Marc loves to talk to Sophie's sweet little yellow finch, but young Sophie worries that her little birdie may take flight and not return to it's own special birdcage where he lives in Sophie's home.

So here she is patient and at the ready 
should the little finch take flight.

And yes, here comes more feathered friends to join the feast.

And listen, did you hear the flutter of wings 

as this little parakeet flew in to the perch?

Could this be a large African grey parrot? 

 No doubt he got word of the party and 

definitely didn't want to be left out.
