Repurposed Samco Space Heater Bird Feeder w/ Bottle Opener

Howdy folks!  It's been a little while since I created a bird feeder.  That being the case, I dug out one of my favorite "structures" to work with.  An old Samco porcelain enamel space heater.  This one has the benefit of also having a bottle opener on the side for cool refreshing drinks on those warm summer days.  This bird feeder can either be sat out on its own OR it can be mounted to a fence, wall or other vertical surface with the attached copper hangers.

This repurposed bird feeder, along with my other creations, is available in the GadgetSponge Etsy Shop and at Timeline Antiques in Shreveport, LA!

Sunday Butterfly Visitors

These fine winged creatures made their way to the backyard today for a visit.  They were attracted to the butterfly weed and the "festering" watermelon and other fruit I put out for them.
