Kirk, now you know you HAVE to keep that great bird. He won't be a secret now. LOL. And your love of wood carved animals definitely means he belongs at your place. So back to shopping for whoever you get.

hugs, Karen

Yeah, you done let the secret out of the bag!! You must send it to me and buy another gift for the exchange!!! LOL!

I think he would wonderful on your porch with all the other treasures.

Ha. I think he has the right idea. Show what you bought for secret gift, not secret any more, darn now they all know so will have to keep and find something else. LOL I can see why it would be hard to give this one up tho. Special.

Boy is that cool! I wish my GW had such great stuff! You can always get my name again for the SSE ;^) (Hint, hint) he-he

OHHH, a great find! I'd have a hard time parting with that GJ. Jeanne S.

I could be your Secret Santa exchange!! My husband just finished building me a screened porch for our 30th anniversary and that bird would look just great out there!!! Hahahaha! No, it's very pretty. Amazing what you can find in a thrift store, isn't it?

Oooooooooooooooh my that is awesome! What a wonderful find, Sigh!! :) Do you do *freecycle*? Now that a lot of fun and it's.......Free.

It is a beaut! Is it carved from one piece of wood or two? Amazing what someones artistic fingers can do with Mother Natures help or is it the other way around? No matter
it is definitely a treasure!!!!

Thank you for the nice comments...it is a beautiful, rustic creation! It is 2 pieces. The bird is attached to the other piece of wood with a tiny dowel. I truly intended it as my Secret Santa gift when I bought it. LOL I should NEVER buy something that I REALLY like! :o) Have you ever bought something for someone else, loved it so much, and then kept it? Ha! I'm a bad boy junker! Bear Hugs! Kirk

He is a cool cutie!! I can see him on a tree, birdhouse, pole, etc...

So unique, never would find another just like it. Love one-of a-kind handmade items. Makes me wonder who the artist was who put their soul into that object? Beautiful.

Wow Kirk. That is a great find. I agree with you that is something you have to keep for yourself. I'm sure you will find something just as great for your SS.

That is a treasure for sure(-: I can't believe someone gave it up to begin with(-: You know you want to keep it(-: That would look great on your porch!

Oh, Kirk, you have to keep that great bird!! I fully believe in sharing...but get real!! chuckle
