CONGRATS TO JINGLE WHO WON THE BIRDCAGE NECKLACE GIVEAWAY!!!!
After a wonderful holiday season with my family, I had a well-deserved rest and now Roscata’s shop it back in full-swing for the springtime. I know it’s only January (as I sit here in my warm flannel PJ’s), but I can’t wait for the warmer days and the southern California wildflowers to start blooming!
To celebrate the arrival of spring, new blooms, and of course, the arrival of little birdies to sing from the branches, I’m giving away a birdcage necklace in your choice of color and your choice of birdie! A little handmade polymer clay birdie charm perches on a swing that moves. The cage door is securely adhered so that your little feathered friend will not be lost. The chain is 24 inches and goes perfect for tunic shirts and an adorable little silvery skeleton key charm adds a ton of cuteness!
You get to choose which antique Victorian style birdcage pendant you would like: bright French blue, a pure white, or a light pastel rosy pink. Bird choices are unlimited; however, as a bird biologist, I tend to go for real birds such as indigo buntings, yellow or white canaries, or red cardinals. Although a purple or bright pink birdie is still really cute! Below are some examples of birdcages that I’ve made for my Etsy shop, Roscata – Stuff for People.
