Is this gorgeous or what? I've wanted a little pie bird for a while now, and when I saw this one and the beautiful plate by Pfaltzgraff was included- I couldn't help myself. Especially since I got them both for for $5!! Yay!! The same seller also had this rooster pie bird (squeal) and since they were kind enough to combine shipping, I bought him too.
Here is a picture of my Valentine's Day present-
Hubby also got the momma chicken and her baby riding in the wagon!
Isn't he the bee's knees? *gush*
And here is Hubby's Valentine's Day gift-
Well, actually we've had the truck for a while, but I bought him a hitch to go in the bed to pull his trailer with. He was very surprised and happy about that, because plow days are coming soon and he had no way of hauling his tractor around.Well I'm off to do some sewing... I also found a couple of new patterns while I was on Ebay... *shhhhhh*
And then, if I'm feeling brave enough, maybe some more adventures in bread baking!
Adorable pie birds - I love love the rooster one! Sweet statue of mama bird and her protected chick - your hubby did well! OK the truck is a bit much for Valentine's Day glad you explained about the hitch! You can do it with the baking girl - women have made yeast bread for centuries - you are strong, you are woman - you are BREAD BAKER!
ReplyDeletePie birds...never heard of them! So you put them in the middle of whatever it is you're baking? How neat is that???
ReplyDeleteLove your chicken, Paula...makes me smile just looking at it! Sounds like you Valentine's Day was a good one! Have fun sewing!
I love the ebay too!
ReplyDeleteThat plate by Pfaltzgraff is the stuf we use...we really like the place settings! Good find!
I LOVE that pie plate and bird. How cool! I am glad you had a great Valentine's day.
ReplyDeleteI adore the gifts he got you!! He done good. Nice looking truck, by the way. Congrats on his new "baby" LOL! Those pie birds are really cute - I'm going to click on your link and learn more about them. (And maybe learn how to make pie too. haha!)
ReplyDeleteYou found some cute things on Ebay and the price was right too!!!
ReplyDeleteYou and your hubby picked some neat things for Valentine's day gifts to each other.

I LOVE YOUR PIE BIRD DISH & ROOSTER PIE BIRD. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE NEW PATTERNS ARE ALSO. BEST WISHES WITH THE BREAD! HAVE FUN.
ReplyDeleteGood going with the pie birds...really cute...now to see a photo of pie using them.....in fact, I could use a piece right now...
ReplyDeleteOh Paula i love those pie birds! Especially the blackbird...I would keep that little one out on my window sill. He looks like he is singing away! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteMy addiction to Etsy is getting pretty bad...i am addicted to handmade dolls and teddy bears....don't need em...just want em!
Bread baking for sure but you had better show your adventures in pie baking with those pie birds!
ReplyDeleteThat is eerie...I have spent more time and money on eBay lately! I know it is an addiction but the bidding/bargains are irresistible!
ReplyDeleteI haven't sought out pie birds --yet but they have been on my list for some time. I have been buying charmpacks because I hope to be making some quilt items--aprons, runners, blankets.
I am glad to hear you had a good weekend. Still looking for more details!
Your bird pie plates are darling and what a bargain! Oh, isn't your hubby cute for getting you those goodies for Valentne's day! It sounds like you did well with spoiling him too with something that he wanted/needed. Glad to hear that you both had a Happy Valentine's weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! As soon as I saw the first photo my head started singing "four and twenty blackbirds..."
ReplyDeleteCute post!
Such cute things! That rooster pie bird makes me *squeal* too!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Paula,
ReplyDeleteLove the pie birds and dish! Cute, and can't beat the price! Love your Valentine goodies...the red wagon is so cute!!

Really cute pie plates! Ebay can be addictive. I love the wagon with the chicken in it. The truck is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your pie bird, and your pie plate!!! I can hardly believe the price you gave for them. I'm jealous! ;-Þ
ReplyDeleteI posted about pie birds on my blog a few months ago, then the very next week, one of my knitting group members, who I didn't even know read my blog, surprised me with one-my first!
Your Valentine gift is darling. Your hubby is da man!
why, all the gifts appear to be the "bees knees' ! Looks like Valentine's Day is a very good day at Fraker Farms!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun stuff! Good luck with Ebay and the baking.
ReplyDeleteHe got his truck! yeah, bet he loves it. They are great trucks. I just downsized thou and need to sell my F250. Drats, Mr Fraker could have bought mine!

ReplyDeletethose are really nice treasures you scored on ebay. i love stuff like that!
ReplyDeletea pie plate? we cannot even afford a pie, and a plate just for that is already a luxury...
ReplyDeletei like it though.
Love the pie bird and rooster. What a great find! I too love ebay. Haven't been to it lately, I will need to go visit that site soon.
ReplyDeleteLoved your Valentine Rooster on bottom post. Too cute!

ReplyDeleteOh Paula, I love pie birds, too! But I dont' have any roosters or chickens, just birds and one cat! I think you got a great deal!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie your hubby's gifts are, too. Looks like you both had a great Valentine's Day.
I do have one new rooster in my kitchen (an ebay rooster:) I'll be posting a pic of him soon.
Hi Paula, first of all, ebay can be quite addicting. I had to actually stop for a while because I was out of control... Those pie birds are just adorable! I really like the chicken one! I also love the Valentine gift your hubby gave you. Love the red wagon!
ReplyDelete~Ann
I think it's ok to make an eBay purchase that gets you SUCH A DEAL! The pie birds are WONDERFUL! I definitely think hubby will be ok with them. I especially love the chicken one. How cute is that?!
ReplyDeleteGreat Valentine's gift from hubby, too. Very sweet.
Blessings,
Patricia :o)

I recently found two pie birds at some antique shop...of course, I had to buy both of them...but I have never seen a pie rooster...and now I will be searching for that! What a pretty dish, too!
ReplyDeleteJuri
Hi Paula!! I have to admit, I have never seen a rooster pie bird before. Very cute. I sure hope you plan on sharing with the rest of the world what your pattern finds were on ebay!! I for one want to see them!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
Merry
Paula, the pie birds really are so cute. I hope your new chicken won't make Belle and the others jealous! They might want to ride too...I did try to put my goose Siegfried in my son's wagon, but she would have none of that nonsence! That was a few years ago-she's in heaven now.(opps-sorry, I guess I'm off topic here-need to get some sleep!)
ReplyDeleteLove, Debra
adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteChicken pot pie will be sooo much better in those pie plates. Great find. You really made out on Valentine's Day, Hubby did too. Enjoy,
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Oh, I love your pie birds! They just made me laugh! I enjoyed browsing through your blog.
ReplyDeleteMandy
I love your idea of putting food in something you just bought to help the significant other 'forget' that you spent money! hee hee. I may have to use that trick!
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute pie birds!
