Baby Bird

It's been too long since I posted anything, and now I have a backlog of new pins, so let's move swiftly on. Christy and I are headed to upstate New York to stay with our close friends, Martin & Caroline tomorrow, so we celebrated Valentine's Day early. My gifts from her were three pins from one designer: Baby Bird (enlarged here) is the one I chose to wear today.

All three pins are unspeakably cute, fun and delightful, and were designed by Mark Poulin, who has an extensive portfolio of work that's well worth perusing. Made of brushed silver, the Baby Bird's form pushes all the buttons that predispose us to look kindly on babies of any kind. Utterly irresistible.
