Birdy pick of the week: Bird nerd tea cups

Surely Houston-based ceramicist Carole Smith of McCheek’s Mayhem made these delightful ‘Bird Nerd’ tea cup and saucer sets with me in mind? The self-confessed bird nerd (tick) apparently ‘likes to look at pictures of wee birdies’ (tick, tick) and clearly loves a good cuppa from a fancy cup (tick, tick, tick). The mostly vintage decals and lettering are put through three firings in the kiln, so the results are permanent (though you should probably wash them gently by hand).

Bird Nerd Teacup and Saucer Set, US$45, from McCheek’s Mayhem’s Etsy shop.

Tweet Ceramic Mug, US$28, from McCheek’s Mayhem’s Etsy shop.

I think these are pretty great – love watching the bird in my bird bath in my yard – gosh I need to get a life.

Jacana, are you kidding? Watching a bird in your very own bird bath is surely one of the JOYS of life. Well, I think so, anyway. xx
