Watch the birdie….vintage bird bunting.
“Pretty swallow, once again come and pass me in the rain.
Pretty swallow, why so shy?
Pass again my window by” Extract from The Swallow, a poem by John Clare.
We all know how beneficial nature is to our wellbeing. However, it is not always possible to immerse ourselves on a daily basis- sometimes logistics & life itself just gets in the way.
Whether you garden on a city centre windowsill, a townhouse courtyard or have acres and acres of rolling hills at your disposal, a string of vintage bird bunting is just the ticket to connect with the outside world.
You can imagine how thrilled I was to come an old hatbox with these tiny vintage swallow birds inside. What a find! I couldn’t help but string them up into bird bunting to hang across my windows.
Beautifully detailed, little Bakelite moulded birds dating from the 1950’s. A perfect gift for Ornithologists or anyone with a love of birds & nature.
Hang your bird bunting across windows, shelves & mantles or from the branches of twigs. A gentle breeze will set them fluttering which is utterly joyous. It’s like a tinkling aviary right inside your own home – delightful!
If you like me, you love to bring nature into your home, then you might also like a very useful stoneware pot. Just perfect for a sprig or two. https://lottiegirling.co.uk/product/brown-stoneware-pot/
The Small Print:
Each vintage bird bunting measures approximately 1.5 metres in length. The birds themselves are approximately 6cm x 6cm.
Price is for 1 ready strung length of bird bunting which contains 7 vintage swallow birds, I have used natural twine & vintage crochet thread so that the birds really do seem to be fluttering of their own free will.
Your beautiful birdie bunting will be wrapped in brown paper & tied with string- ready if you are planning to give as a gift.
Due to the delicate nature of the materials used, these are not recommended for outdoor use.
Please keep away from small children.
Delivery cost will be added when you reach the checkout. Wherever possible, I will combine postage if you are buying more than 1 item. Don’t forget, heavier items can be collected by appointment from me in Hampshire. Please get in touch if you have any queries regarding postage.
