I hope this finds you and your feathered friends all happy and well, and enjoying the end to a wonderful summer!

The unpacking, sorting and settling back in after June's flood is continuing to take time, but progress is being made, and I am so thankful for that! I've also had a lot of fun tackling some redecorating projects. The latest post-flood project consists of preparing for a big garage sale! Sorting through so much stuff is great motivation to clear out and re-organize!

 

In jewelry news, this Quaker Parrot Necklace and Earring set is on sale in an auction this week on eBay! I also recently created some custom ordered Koi fish, and decided to make a few extra pieces to share with you too! There are a gorgeous pin, pendant on cord, and beaded necklace and earring set all on auction for the next week.

After the flooding in June, I am so happy to report that I have moved back in now, the birds were able to return to my studio last week, and it is starting to resemble normal life a bit more every day. It was such a great feeling to get my hands back in clay last week, after over a month away from work! YAY!

I want to send out a big THANK YOU to all of you that emailed or messaged me on Facebook when you heard the news of the flooding, and all of your well wishes, I so appreciate it! Besides the support of my wonderful family, I have 5 very adorable furry and feathered friends whose sweet faces and silly antics have certainly helped keep me smiling in the midst of this little "bump along the road"! :)

SUMMER SALE!

I am working to get back on my feet financially after the flood, and wanting to sell as much inventory as possible right now, so I have started a Summer Sale in my eBay Store. All Fixed Price (Buy It Now) items are 5% off through the end of August! I hope you will stop by my store and browse! It might be the perfect time to start some early Christmas shopping. :)

My Eclectus Parrots are rarely together, since I am not breeding them, but occasionally they get a few minutes on the same playgym, and Killian immediately starts flirting by lifting his wings and saying "tickle tickle", whistling and spitting up for her!

Sorry for the poor lighting, I wasn't planning to record but we were having snuggle time before bed and he was being so sweet, luckily I had the camera handy. He talks so much, but usually clams up in front of the camera!

Killian and Kaleena are lucky to have so many wonderful friends! Here are some of their special gifts - which included some yummy birdy bread, and beautifully embroidered stockings!

Killian and Kaleena have been molting so many beautiful feathers lately - I just love finding them when I clean their cages, each vibrant feather seems like a special little treasure, and I keep them in a glass display jar to enjoy. I decided to make a few more pairs of earrings with some of the "matching feathers" and just listed three pairs on eBay if you'd like to take a look! :)

The Bird of the Month for August is the vibrant Sun Conure! The collection is now up for auction on eBay for the next 6 days and includes a bracelet charm, choker, pendant, pin, glass beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace and earring set!

Also new on eBay this week are a selection of other species and items, so I hope you will stop by and check it out! Included are beaded bracelets in the following species: Timneh Grey, Congo Grey, male Eclectus, and female Eclectus. A Scarlet Macaw charm and Orange Winged Amazon charm are also new this week.

I have also created three glass beaded necklace/earring sets featuring the faces of the following birds: Normal Male cockatiel, Orange Winged Amazon, and a cute green Budgie/Parakeet! Another fun thing that I listed this week are a pair of earrings featuring feathers donated by my very own Killian! :)
