pigeon post (part 2)

A nice card I received in the post from Lucy.


Although of course I don't consider pigeons to be vermin.

love

This photo by Gabi melts my heart a little.

glass pigeon

A gift from the very talented Matthew Nickels.
I think I may turn it into a brooch.

Pop along to the Open House at York Place Studios to see a piece of his stained glass.

i'll have that.

Lovely wooden bird brooches from i like birds.

I'll take the pigeon.

yes please

Buy me this and I'll be forever grateful.


AND there is a deckchair as well - wonderful!

52 & a pigeon

Here's a rubber pigeon my mum gave me a while ago. It really smells quite bad so I should keep it outside but I'm worried about it getting blown away with the wind like my other little bird.

I took it out briefly the other day though while I snapped this picture for the Fifty-Two exhibition being organised by Camilla and Claire of Calm Air All Ice.

No picture is complete without a rubber pigeon.

find of the week

A money pigeon!

Found in the Brighton Museum shop (and half price too).

poetry

Rosie found this pigeon poem in the newspaper the other day.
I really don't understand poetry but I think it's worth a mention.

Confusing? I guess it's hard to find a word to rhyme with pigeon so it's a tricky place to start.

christmas card

It wouldn't be Christmas without a pigeon dressed up as robin:

museum

Found out today that there is a whole museum dedicated to pigeons in Oklahoma: World of Wings
The website could do with a bit of a makeover, but I'm still keen to go. There are some pretty smart pigeons in the world:

i should probably move here.

A road sign my mum and dad spotted in Jersey.

name this bird

treasures

Today I'm locked out of my house. So I'm spending the afternoon sitting in a tea shop looking up pigeon-related treats on etsy.

Here are my top picks for today:


1. Green pigeon brooch
2. Pin cushion bracelets
3. Badge set
4. Pigeons of Trafalgar Square wallet
5. A delightful necklace

pigeon post

Today Simon sent me this photograph he took of a pigeon he met in the north (my photo doesn't do it justice I'm afraid). What a cute little bedraggled bird he is though.

I am most pleased.

pigeon picture of the day

I just stumbled across this wonderful pigeon illustration by Zoe Austin and thought I really must share.


How splendid.
If anyone knows of any more pigeon art out there then please do share!
