I really needed some new summer stuff, and lately, the boys aren't as into thrifting. So I had to wait until Spring Break was over and hit up my favorite Salvation Army.
I found a pair of shorts, a pair of capri's, a tee, some like-new Keds slides for me, a pair of shorts for hubby,
and these darling birds! I'm sure you have seen these - they aren't rare. But I remember my mom having a set when I was a child. They lived on a doily atop the TV cabinet. I always thought of them as "love birds" for no particular reason. The lady sold them to me for $1.50 for the pair.
One of them had been broken and repaired with glue that discolored over time. Exactly like something that would have happened in my childhood home.
It was nothing spray paint wouldn't disguise, and after two coats of Rustoleum in Heritage White satin, they went to live on the floating shelves in our master bedroom.
Just like a family - repairable, redeemable, lasting, lovely.
