This birdcage sits on top of the TV armoire in our living room. It may look familiar to you....
...because I showed you photos of it last year...
... when I found it (along with these two vintage frames) while junktiquing in New Hampshire.
The cage is flanked by the reproduction Staffordshire dogs that I got for Amanda last year...
They seem quite happy to be protecting it (although from what, I don't know!)
(mid 1950's... Nana lifting up my sister so she could see Pete the parakeet in his cage)
If you've ever read some of my older posts, you know I love vintage children's books... So you can imagine how excited I was when I happened across this copyright 1954 "Parakeet Peter" book (with the 29 cent price stamped on the front cover!)
It's just perfect! (This is exactly how my mom, sister, and I would hold our Pete's while teaching them to talk)...
We had a ladder and bell just like the ones pictured here...
And a few posts ago, I showed you a photo of my Nana's Pete with his bowl of water sitting in front of his cage, just like in this picture... Deja vu indeed!
Yup... We even had a mirror for our Pete...
Such sweet memories this book brought back!!!
