Description
Madame Poule ran the henhouse with an iron wing. Every morning she marched her chicks across the farmyard in a perfect line, stopping to scold any who wandered off to chase a beetle. On Sundays, the farmer’s wife tied a ribbon around her neck for church, and she strutted past the rooster as if she owned the whole of Normandy.
This charming box catches Madame Poule in all her glory. A dark brown hen sits proudly with her chicks gathered around her, and a colorful bow is tied at her neck as if she were dressed for Sunday. Her rich dark brown feathers make a handsome backdrop for the little ones nestled at her side. A hiding place inside keeps an egg-sized secret or two. She belongs in a farmhouse kitchen, with a collector of hen figurines, or with anyone who keeps a few backyard layers and talks to them every morning. A dresser beside the egg basket suits her perfectly.
