Description
Dawn in the orchard, and the first sound is not a rooster but a bluebird, singing from the top of the old pear tree. Grand-mère Jeanne, already up and filling the kettle, stops to listen. She has kept a notebook of every bird she has seen from her kitchen window for fifty years, and the bluebird, she says, is always the one that means good news is coming. This morning she writes the date carefully in blue ink and underlines it twice.
This box is a little portrait of that messenger. The bluebird is painted in vivid blue and yellow hues, its feathers and bright eye picked out by skilled artisans with real affection for the subject. It doubles as a trinket box, keeping a ring or a small keepsake safe inside. Set on a windowsill, a bookshelf or a kitchen counter, it makes a striking focal point, and it is a lovely addition to any collection of bird figurines. Birdwatchers, gardeners and anyone who needs a little happiness on their shelf will be glad to give it a home.
