CARDINALS AND DINING WITH A COZY FIRE


We have a Mr.& Mrs. Cardinal that visit us several times daily at the feeder.
A table has been moved near the fireplace so we can be toasty warm while we eat.

I had to remove a photo of the cardinals I posted several years ago due to an issue with several people claiming the photo was "theirs". I gave credit to the person I thought owned the photo, but wasn't successful I guess.
January and February are our months to relax and unwind. Wool cozies made from a re-purposed wool sweater warm the mugs. I'll pour some tea and Joe will have cappuccino.

The cardinal plates have been in my collection for a few years and were found at the Olde Wicker Mill on clearance. Doesn't Mr. Cardinal look handsome on those plaid dinner plates? The white wooden chargers are from Pier One.
The plaid plates were on sale at Pottery Barn in New York City after Christmas. Since I had a $20 voucher to use, it ended up costing me less than $20 for the six plates. 
 Birch candles and candle holders are from Pottery Barn, plaid napkins from Crate and Barrel a few years ago, and the knit napkin rings were re-purposed from a wool sweater.
Doesn't the cardinal look warm perched on the wool napkin rings? I'll be putting some wool scraps from the re-purposed sweater project outdoors in the spring so the birds can use it for nesting material.

Thank you for stopping by!
