$29 USDRetro Fabric w/ Parrots 'n Cages
Collectibles:Textiles
Looking for just the right flock for your bird room curtains? Then look no further than this circa 1970's piece of fabric featuring a bevy of colorful Parrots - out of their cages, of course! I THINK it's cotton, almost 3 yards and 45" wide. There are some small stains from storage (see pics) which should wash out, no holes. Great not only for curtains but scarves, pillows, seat cushions, heck, even a shirt (or two). A fun fabric flock, why not add them to yours?

Recently flown in from France is this metal and marble pair, crafted in the days of Deco and still up to the job of holding books.
