Estate Sales

Chicken Broach

We recently stumbled upon an estate sale this past weekend and I HAD TO HAVE this lovely broach. Isn’t it beautiful?

I have a collection of chicken-themed jewelry which I use to decorate a small nook in my kitchen. I erected a cork board that allows me to attach earrings, broaches, pendants and bracelets to it. I love how these baubles capture and reflect the light. Estate sales are THE BEST place to find unique and special keepsakes.

 

Kafka-Inspired Chicken Art

Untitled by Doug Argue

Ever wondered what 198 square feet of chickens looks like? Wonder no more, because artist Doug Argue created something magnificent!

Standing at approximately 11 feet high by 18 feet wide, (hence the 198 square feet) the “chicken painting” is a dream come true.

Argue called his painting “an imaginary chicken farm where the walls just become cages and they go to infinity.” He got the idea from a Kafka short story in which a dog contemplates where the world gets its food.

A New Flock

Yard Art

We just added a new flock to the property. These birds are maintenance-free and add just the right amount of charm to the yard. Our live birds do not seem to be art aficionados as they do not stop to enjoy the art. Regardless, we love these sculptures.

We purchased these beauties at Peurelife. Get yours before they are all sold.
