If you're a crafter who sells her work, you'll know why I was giggling to myself as I took this photo of one of my necklaces. If not, read the story below the photo . . .
If something has a bird on it, it sells. It's one of those trends that's a Big Deal in the crafting community. I've seen posts about it dating back to 2009, especially regarding birds on wedding invitations. The TV show Portlandia recently did a funny sketch about this trend. (The end of the clip is a little disturbing for true bird lovers, so if you're a sensitive soul, don't watch it.)
Given this huge trend, when I found this book originally published in 1887 titled Turning Points in the World's History, I naturally thought about writing a revised, modern edition: Napoleon, the invention of Morse Code . . . and Put a Bird On It.
Confession Time: Have you bought or made anything with a bird on it recently?
