A {Craigslist} Birdcage In The Hand

Look at this beautiful vintage Chinese birdcage I saw on Craigslist Annapolis (warning: this link won't work forever).

This one knocks me over with a feather (natch) into the For Display Purposes Only world. Which sent me Googling. I would up over at Tidbits and Twine and a whole page of birdcage yumminess. A few favorites:

I am probably not going to buy the Craigslist birdcage. I think. But I'm definitely starting to see the appeal.
