Yesterday I asked you to guess what was behind this door:
Many thanks to those of you who took a guess:
- Glyn Hockey, the Poet of Penzance, and the mysterious KC Gal thought it might be a pub. Don’t I wish!!
- Hugh of Hugh’s News and Views and Allie of AlliePottsWrites guessed gardening supplies. Kind of.
- Bruce of WeaveaWeb guessed honey and horrid flowers. (I guess there are stores in his country, New Zealand, that sell horrid flowers.)
But Mary and Cinda came the closest: wild bird supplies. Behind this messy door is the East Bay Nature company.
It’s a delightfully chaotic store cramped to the rafters with:
Seed and Suet
Nest Boxes and Bat Houses
Books and Field Guides
Bird Baths, Drippers, Misters, and Fountains
Statuary
CD’s, Tapes, and Videos
Wind Chimes
Artwork, Posters, and Photographs
Jewelry
Cinda and Mary – where do you want me your gift – a lovely ten pound bag of suet?
And thanks again to Norm Frampton for the inspiration!
Ohhh. So wine isn’t part of the birds’ diet where you live?
No, I’m afraid not!
Love this! Sorry I missed the contest!
Me too!
This was fun! Although, now that I know what the grand prize is, I am not as said to have lost out to another worthy opponent.
When I said “honey” I mean honey for the birds – the nectar eating honey-eaters. I’m amazed that you didn’t see that. Why else would one buy honey for? And re the horrid flowers – it’s those red plastic flowers they have to attract hummingbirds to feeders. I was spot-on with my answers. Send the suet or I’ll sue.
Okay – you’re the winner! Suet’s on its way.
I knew you’d cave in!!!!
Sounds like a delightful store, Jan. One of my favorite things to do in those stores is to find the little plush birds that sing and press all the buttons. Have a fun weekend! 🙂
That is fun! I could spend a bundle on wind chimes. (you should see how many bird feeders we have – it’s ridiculous!)
I am not fooled in the least, it is common practice to tell the wife we are bird watching, the pub is called ‘The Lesser Spotted Pork Scratchings Catcher’
Aha! And the wife hasn’t asked to see a picture of the Lesser Spotted Pork Scratchings Catcher? (Something tells me the Greater Spotted Pork Scratchings Catcher would be a fearful sight!)
