If the name Liz Carey sounds familiar to you, it's probably because you've seen the model/actress walking the runways of Alexander McQueen or Versace. Or maybe you caught a glimpse of her in the movies Spanglish or
The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Now fast-forward.

Chirp, chirp.
ShopBird (and Fab), are letting you know that they're currently holding a massive moving sale. A hefty stock of their fashionable clothing and accessories have been marked a

If you're attending a birthday, housewarming, or any other party that calls for gift-giving, but you're not close with the host, your best bet is to keep it simple. Pick up a great gift that anyone would love (bottle of wine, flowers, Scrabble!), and enclose a chic, cute gift card or tag. Augment it by sharing a brief sentiment and signing your name.

I've blogged
lots and
lots about birds, and even wrote a post
entirely full of bird puns. So, it's no secret that I love dem birds! Some of you have expressed that you're not big fans of

Wisteria Perched Bird Candleholders ($16 for two).

Oscar ain't your average cutie patootie cockatoo. She has a tendency to make peeps feel uncomfortable, rather than happy and sappy all over, but she can't help it. Our gal is incapable of growing body hair so she sadly looks like this evening's din-din — but not so fast.

Next time you need to say merci beaucoup, let the birds do the legwork. These
Screenprinted Bird Thank You Cards ($3.50) from Etsy seller Sarahparrott825 come in an exquisite robin's egg blue and are blank inside so you can personalize your message. Each card is accompanied by a brown 100% recycled envelope and packed in a celo bag.
CocoAngel recently posted in the CasaSugar group with a decorating quandary, and I thought that you might be able to help her out. She writes, "I'm just finishing up redecorating my daughter's room and having trouble finding accessories, specifically a bird cage. She changed her bed spread to
this birds and bird cages design (see left), so a black-wire bird cage would be a fantastic item to add to the room.

Just after I finished my
kitchen bird roundup a little birdie told me that the latest issue of
Life&Style had a similar winged-creature feature.
I love some of their picks, especially the DwellStudio textiles. To see my riff on this feature, check out the widget below.
