I saw these plush birdie cages at ABC Carpet & Home yesterday and became instantly besotted—they look much cuter in person, too. The bars of the cage are made from wire wrapped in fabric tubes to give it that structured, sculpted look.

The gears instantly went whirring, of course, which I’m sure is almost instinctual with crafty types. (It made me feel naughty, though.)

By the same artist, these magnificent oysters and the most-exquisite peacocks, ever! Green with envy, I tell you. Absolutely GREEN.
