While antiquing recently, I noticed this little yellow house and white porch with quite a bit going on.
I like unusual juxtapositions such as cacti with angels and birdcages with interesting fabric.
Can anyone tell me if the characters are Chinese or Japanese?
A closer look:
Not your everyday birdcage. I’m thinking the birds are happy there.
Hope your week’s going well so far. I just upgraded my iPhone to a 5S, but haven’t had time to take photos with everything going on. Hope to rectify that soon.

Cool set of pictures…
Thanks!
That little bird has some pretty nifty digs. Nice set up for him. I wonder if the wild birds ever stop by to check him out.
I wonder too. 🙂
I wonder what the people are like in this house.
It’s very thoughtful to cover the bird’s cage with fabric. that way he won’t catch a cold when it’s windy. Cute.
I never thought of that, Caroline. Usually, birdcages are indoors, but this would be a way to let them experience the outdoors.
lovely set of images….. this little cottage is very inviting…. I am curious what it looks like inside and who the owners are…… my bet would be an older very sweet Asian couple…..
I love old cottages like this.
Whoever lives here has such a nice aesthetic sense and consideration for little birds.
the characters are Japanese.
Some characters are Kanji.

Oh, thank you for clarifying.
