Themed Thursday : Bunnies, Lambs, Chicks and Ducks

Hello! I was quite surprised by how many things I had around the house that suit an Easter theme. I don’t remember actually setting out to collect the array of tableware that are in the form of chickens and ducks. Most are things I’ve had for ages that I found too cute to part with or that have sentimental significance. Oh, those darn sentimental feelings … they make for crowded cabinets!

(1) Daisy is the only stuffed toy of mine that I still have (I also have a couple of Nick’s from when he was a baby). I acquired her when I was already an adult though after I found her perched on my new bed following a visit by my mother when she came to see my very first (and only) apartment where I lived alone. Nowadays Daisy usually sits on the back of the sofa, where she reminds me of that special little home that I loved. The wooden chair was handmade by my aunt’s father-in-law, a man I never met personally, but the chair reminds me of my aunt who died much too young. (2) My sister gave me this milk and sugar set. The milk pours out of the duck’s beak and looks so funny. (3) These salt and pepper shakers were again a gift from my sister. And the are also funny in that the pepper one looks like he’s crying pepper tears! (4) I painted and fired this duck basket while working my summer job during university. I ran the arts and crafts program at a Home for the Aged, a job I absolutely loved. (5) This would be the item in these photos that I’ve had the longest. A high school friend brought it home for me from Austria when he went with his family. I always felt that it was so thoughtful that he would have carried this delicate little swan in his suitcase. It is tiny, standing only 3 inches tall and is marked with the maker on the bottom. I remember him telling me they had toured the place where it was crafted. (6) An ex’s mother gave me this trinket box one Easter. I loved her a lot and keep this on my dresser as a reminder of days gone by. (7) This is a music box that you wind by turning the Ferris wheel itself. Then it spins slowly while playing the most delightful version of “It’s a Small World”. My mother gave me this to cheer me up during a rough patch in life once and I keep it in a glass cabinet in the bedroom to remind me to appreciate the happiness I have found. (8) I bought this vintage Easter tablecloth from EBay a while ago. I remember winning it for a mere $9.99 and planning to use it for a family brunch however it didn’t arrive in time so I didn’t and in fact, I have never used it! But I love to look at it. (9) These ‘new’ vintage tea towels still have the original store tag pinned to them, stating they cost $.38 each! We always use vintage tea towels in our home so these will be added to the rotation on of these days. (10) I picked up these pastel coloured paper clips the other day. I could have bought the black ones, but why buy black when you can have pastel?! (I wish I felt the same way about clothes, especially with pastels being so in-style this spring/summer. I am planning an upcoming post about how I will wear the trend mixed with all my black things.)

And in case you didn’t get enough of Daisy …

Thank you very much for taking a look. Do you save things for sentimental reasons?

How to Care for your new baby chickens in Cosmopolis, Washington Baby chicks are quite charming as well as challenging to resist, yet it's best to prepare for their arrival prior to you get them. Prepare initially by collecting not just the appropriate products, but likewise the proper understanding to care for them. Raising baby chicks is relatively easy, you just need to give them with the following: A tidy and warm habitat A lot of food as well as water Focus as well as love Habitat Your environment can be a basic box, aquarium, pet cat provider, or guinea pig cage. Line it with old towels and also coverings (without loosened strings!) to begin, and after a couple of weeks use straw over newspaper. Keep in mind: Avoid using just newspaper or other slipper surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand malformed. You additionally require something to provide food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container lid for food as well as a pet dog bird water dispenser from a pet store. Also, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch right into the habitat to get them trained on perching. Warmth To keep your chicks warm you have to offer them with a heat resource. This can be as easy as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat light bulb also work extremely well (my referral). Chicks need this warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is replaced with plumes (which can take up to two months). The recently hatched out need a temperature level between 90 as well as 100 degrees, and weekly this can be lowered by approximately 5 levels approximately. The warmth source must get on merely one side of the cage to enable chicks an array of temperatures. The chicks are your best thermostat- if they are hiding in the contrary corner of your heat light, you need to minimize the temperature level. If they are smothering each other under the warmth (not just cuddling), you need to include some heat. Housekeeping Cleanliness is vital and also it maintains your chicks healthy. Make sure to transform the bed linen frequently and also consistently supply clean food and also water Food and also water. Chicks expand extremely quick which needs plenty of clean food and also water. Offer sufficient whatsoever times as well as inspect frequently to prevent dehydrated and hungry chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated and also non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the initial 2 months, after that switch to a grower food (~ 17 % protein) for an additional 2 months, and after that to a somewhat reduced protein feed or a layer feed (if you have layers). Soil Some chicks prefer to obtain a head start on taking dirt baths, while others will not use up that task till they are older. If you have the area in your chick room, introduce a tray of sand or dust for them to shower in. Attention as well as love There are a few advantages to hanging out with your chicks. Firstly, they will certainly most likely bond with you as well as not escape as adults. Second, if you examine your chicks daily and see their habits, you can capture disease or other problems earlier. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or other undesirable indications. Be sure to also consider their poop, as looseness of the bowels can bring about matted feathers as well as blocked cloaca. Lastly, it is very important to look out for social problems, such as the littlest chick obtaining picked on. Empty nest syndrome So your chicks are now completely feathered and also its time for them to leave the security of your home and also move outside right into a coop.
