Marylee, thanks for supplying James Garner's name!I Googled Julie Andrew/James Garner & movie was"One Special Night" 2002 excellent, clean movie & I watched U Tube video someone made but it didn't show house on outside(so don't know if looked like log cabin-Jeanne's bird houses or not) but rent the movie or maybe library has it & enjoy it sometime this winter, it will warm your heart!!Jan

Very nice, love that the frogs are checking it out. I love that rustic look also. Maybe if the frogs do move in, you could put some grasses/moss inside so it'll be comfy for them. Goton.... I believe Flagtruck's original design was to use GE Silicone II to keep the lid open. You can do a search above for either "Flagtruck" posts and/or teapot birdhouses and you'll get several posts.

Hi Karen, Looked at the box the bears came in. It's a plain brown box but doesn't give many clues except "Glazed Blue Bear Pair"... No company name on bears or box. Called the family who gave it to me. They said they bought it off E-Bay with no more information than that. I spent the last hour searching on line for you with no success but will keep searching. I'll let you know if I come up something. In the meantime, you'll have to visit my bears when you come babysit!!! :o) Kirk

Hi, Thanks for all the compliments. The license plates can be cut with tin snips, or a jigsaw with a metal blade. They can also be bent by clamping them between two pieces of wood or metal that have strong edges. Line up the edge where you need it "cut". Score across it with an old knife or screwdriver and bend it back and forth. It should break right on the line. Hope that makes sense. You caught me, plumbelly. That sure is a caution sign, lol. My rules for the birdhouses is that the stuff will last outside and be interesting and that the roof is big enough to protect them. They're all primed and painted with exterior paint products and have little 'feet', in this case, stainless steel drawer pulls, so they won't sit in water. Decorating Cents had a good idea for license plates. They attached them to a board, framed it and it was a magnetic bulletin board. This will work with the steel ones. Many newer ones are aluminum. If you search for 'license plate art' on Google images, you'll find lots of good ideas for them. I found a great source for license plates with very reasonable prices. If anyone needs any, let me know and I'll send his email address. Linda
