Asheville, North Carolina

Last summer Chris and I went back to England to visit Simon's Mum as well as visit several of the RSPB Reserves (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds). A few of these reserves have excellent feeder and gift shops and we have decided to model our store after both the Minsmere and Titchwell gift shops. They stock a large number of bird-inspired kitchen items that are so popular in European kitchens. So.......we have been searching high and low for T-towels with birds on them, mugs, placemats, napkins and so on. We have put together a very nice selection of products that we are sure you will enjoy, so stop by and let us know what you think.

The Perfect Dinner Table!

Gift Table

Wine and cheese taste so much better with hummingbird and bluebird napkins, not to mention being served on a china goldfinch plate!! Below you can see our heavy duty plastic cups (for those summer drinks- and they have cardinals on them!) as well as canisters emblazoned with Scarlet Tanagers and Eastern Bluebirds and cutting boards with hummers and fuschias. This could make working in the kitchen a real pleasure.

Gift Buffet

We have also decided to search out local Asheville and WNC artists who feature bird and wildlife related items. More photos will be posted soon, but have a look at some of the cards and linens designed by our friend Patty Robertson here in Asheville. Her work is in one word, gorgeous.

Patty's Boxed Notecards

All of Patty's designs are inspired by the ferns and wildflowers in the woodlands of Western North Carolina. The boxed sets of her notecards are truly stunning.

Patty's Fern Linens

Her sets of embroidered linens make perfect gifts or house-warming presents. We also stock lunch and tote bags with hummingbirds and song birds on them, so now you can take your birds with you wherever you go.
