The Seedpod


Continuing on a bird theme, I'd like to introduce you to today's postal treat: The Seedpod.

Friends of mine designed and turned these gorgeous pods from native Irish oak. They're supereffective when hung singly, or in groups of three.

With their lush colour and contours, they enhance any backdrop: they look funky against cement, rich against lush foliage. If we had invented Tactil-o-vision, you could feel their silky smooth grain & satisfying weight... but images will have to do for right now.

The bijou size of the feeder encourages small birds into your garden (though I'm curious to see how the Krypton-Factor-esque South London squirrels tackle them).

Anyhoo, they're the ideal mix of beauty & practicality, and are available at an internet near you: theseedpodbirdfeeder.blogspot.com. For any questions email: theseedpod@yahoo.com



I'm off to play in the garden :-)
