The fake tree we had for five years felt just that -- fake. And yet, this bird feeder feels somehow more real. Maybe it's because I chose it myself, and turned it into a little altar of memories. Maybe it was just time.<br /><br />I love that pinecone ornament, Sandy.<br /><br />And thanks, Catherine, for the cozy comment -- isn't it interesting how something made of old iron can still be cozied up?

The bells and the little red one that resembles an upside down pinecone. They are from my childhood as well.
