Oh gosh, Haley, I'm so envious of that one plate with the dogs that look like greyhounds on the left side of it. One sitting and one laying. I collect anything greyhound and whippet, and tho I've often seen the brass plates with foxhounds, I've not seen one with greyhounds. If by chance you'd be interested in selling it, please email me privately! You made a great haul, and WELCOME out of Lurkdom! No going back now, LOL.

Ok Kirk, so I was out today at a Flea Market and ran into Nathans 2nd grade teacher. She was a vendor at the flea market and had various collectables on her table. Two jumped out at me--a rainbow cobalt bird and a red cardinal bird---both glass and signed. I got them each for $2 (what a deal, huh?). So I did a search for them since one had a sticker saying it was from Terra Studios. Well, each one is worth about $10 each. I STILL will use them in totems for sure....because that's what I do. Then I remembered your birdbath birds and searched on Terra Studios website and found your exact birds there. So, I don't know how much you paid, hopefully less than from the studio itself. Here's the link--just thought you'd like to know... Here's the link for the Rainbow bird I got: http://www.terrastudios.com/images/rainadult.jpg and here is the link for the red cardinal I got: http://www.terrastudios.com/collection.htm (this one is in the bog photo--the large red cardinal--about half way down on the left) Love, Jules Here is a link that might be useful: Blue Birds maker.

That is a beautiful totem, babs. I adore totems...and have several boxes of stuff to turn into totems. As Karen said above..."Procrastination does not create much of anything."...it may not create much, but I've become very good at it anyway! LOL Be Safe, Rach

That's adorable!! Did you make the mailbox too? Most of them use GE silicone II for doors & windows(outside)caulk & be sure the glass is very clean, might even want to use rubbing alcohol & then don't touch area where you are going to caulk it together & let totem dry for few days before placing in garden. Others will add to this but in case you are in a hurry. Welcome & great project! Thanks for pic! Jan
