Our shop cat, Birdie, is so patient with our schemes for displays and posing ideas. Anne asked Birdie if she'd model a Great Pretenders Advent Calendar Charm Bracelet Necklace Set. As you can see, Birdie agreed to the plan. We had customers join in the fun by rewarding Birdie with freeze-dried minnow treats. We love our Miss Birdie. ~ ♡ Bonnie

Often, this is 'Supervisor Birdie's' spot when I work at night ..... I love the shop after hours, while it's quiet and cozy. We usually accomplish big things at night. ♡~ Bonnie

"Charm It" ~ Charms, charm bracelets, and charm necklaces. Add a Charm as a little reward for chores completed, or just because it's Tuesday. Birdie sez, "they wiggle and jiggle and swiggle, oh my."

This is a throw back photo from when Little Bird was a very young girl. Since this is an old photo, some of these charms might not be in stock, but we have a huge selection and two turnstile displays.

Smaller Travel sized Magna-Tiles, easy for car travel, or something to play with in a restaurant while waiting for meal. Birdie approved.

Birdie's looking slightly annoyed .... I was slow in getting her a piece of freeze-dried minnow as a reward for posing. Birdie, Little Bird, Bird Bird. ~ ♡ Bonnie

Birdie posing in front of Bob Allen's children's books about fishing. She approves, but prefers freeze-dried minnows, thank you.

At the shop, I can call Birdie and she comes running, literally running ... because there's a treat at the end of her recall ... usually a piece of freeze-dried minow. ♡ ~ Bonnie

Humm, Birdie sez ~ "looks like we have lots of squish in stock" ... including Fruity Neon Squish Bears for $6.99 .... Bonnie

We caught Birdie being naughty this morning, so of course I had to get photos. She was 'play attacking' Bukowski bag charms. (No bag charms were harmed in the making of this post.) ~ Bonnie
