Work pressures made this past summer the busiest in my career, constantly dealing with deadlines. It left time for little else, but I couldn't forget antiquing. I was limited to quick searches online and bidding at auction via telephone, but I found some wonderful pieces nonetheless which I will share with you in the coming weeks. Tramp Art is still a hot area of folk art collecting, and I was totally enchanted when I saw a photo of this tramp art birdcage with original paint constructed as a house. I made sure I won it and wasn't disappointed when it arrived. It is a wonderful size -- almost two feet long -- a house any songbird would be proud to call home! The original green paint is trimmed in tramp art. Windows throughout are made of real glass. A rear view shows a little damage to the handmade shingles, but it only adds to the charm of this tramp art treasure!
