It’s a small world — I literally bumped into reader Cindy (center) as I headed to shop in Northamptom this weekend. This is really kind of freaky, because that’s a half hour from her house and an hour from my house, and there are 6,497,967 people in the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Cindy had been going to tag sales with friends. She picked up this trio of vintage seagull wall art for $5. I think you’d call them “in the danish modern style” – although it might be more true to say “popular 70s.” I think these are great for patios… I have a brassy seagull wall hanging, also a steal $, above our barbecue in the U-shaped patio at the front of our house. Well done, Cindy. See you at the James Taylor concert at Tanglewood in two weeks!

HahahahahahAHAHAHAHAhahaha! I went away and came back and look what happened to this thread?! LOL!
Masketeers… Yes, that’s it. I couldn’t remember the brand name. I once picked up this godawful conquistador mask thingie by them at a garage sale. Sold it for some insane amount of money on eBay.
So Pammmmm… Have you watched Fido like I suggested? I keep wondering what you will think of the set design!

Hi Maria, no, I haven’t watched Fido yet. I keep meaning to tell Mr. Retro Renovation to put it on the Blockbuster list. Thanks for the reminder.

All these comments and not a single “Flock of Seagulls” crack?
Impressive self-control! =-)

Yes, this must be our wackiest string of comments ever. S.A.R.

People don’t know what they’re missing if they don’t read RR comments!!
Okay, throw a bone to us non-Southerners (well, So. Cal., but I don’t think that counts). I think I’ve got all but one line:
See ’em ducks?
(Th)ey are not.
(Y)es they are.
L.I.B. (all I can get is “(H)ell I be!”
(Th)ey are ducks.
I love accents in general, and I’m a big fan of True Blood, but I’m a bit stuck on this one! 🙂

I know mine are geese because they have little white chin straps. 🙂

These could be ducks or geese. I’m a biologist who studies birds, although I don’t consider myself an ornithologist (…it’s complicated by the fact that I don’t only study birds). Most bird-watchers or birders are not ornithologists and many ornithologists are not birders. See, I told you it was complicated!
N. E. Way, I have a set of 2 that I recently bought at a thrift shop and I like to call them ducks. And I love them so much!

Retro Renovation readers are such interesting…birds. That flock together. I know, very bad puns. But I couldn’t help myself.
