...the ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum...
My good friend, Jill, who lives in Ohio, sent me this beautiful little sheep several years ago, and he is now a beloved part of my Christmas decor...
This year I thought he'd enjoy being part of my vintage birdcage display (last year the pink glittered reindeer lived in the cage, then known as the vintage reindeer barn!)
I went all out for this sweet little lamb, hanging a sparkly silver NEST banner on the front of his cage (it usually hangs on the fireplace, but was moved to make way for the stockings and mantel decorations)...
...and I put one of my favorite flocked bottlebrush trees into his cage.
He even has a sparkly bird to sing him Christmas carols...
I think he looks very happy in his vintage cage... maybe even a hint of a smile?
The outside of the cage even got decorated this year....
I picked up these dangly ornaments, discounted by 75%, at AC Moore this past January.
At the time, I wasn't sure where I would use them, but 75% off was too good to pass up! And this year, when I started decorating the cage, it seemed like a good place to hang them.
Cottage sheep says he's really enjoying his sparkly holiday home, and he hopes the reindeer never want to move back in! (They're enjoying their place of honor in the dining room. Pictures to come soon.)
But now it's time to go to sleep... Goodnight little sparkly bird... Goodnight sweet little lamb... See you in the morning... (and thank you, Jill!)
Wishing all of you sweet and sparkly dreams!
Now you must go visit the lovely Cielo at The House In The Roses to see her "Show Off Your Cottage Monday" post, and to find a list of all others who are participating this week!!!
Happy Cottage Monday!!!

awwww......I knew he was going to the best home ever!
This precious fella would be a part of my decor year round! You sure do special things with a bird cage. I saw one at a decorating mall the other day, and passed it up. I'd better try and remember where it was and high tail it back there. Yours is very special!
