The next thing I knew the cute thing started taking a bath.
It was so fun to watch as he splashed around and totally covered himself in water.
Then he hopped back up on the rock and began drying himself. He would puff up and shake and then rub his head over his breast. I just kept snap, snap, snapping pics. Dummy me, afterwards I thought, “why didn’t I video it”. It really was so fun to watch
It was clear to me that this little birdie enjoys his bath as much as this gal does.
Yes, I take a bubble every night. Just seems to relax me and I sleep much better.
I thought I would share my birdie bath with you. Now, it wouldn’t be a birdie bath without a few birdie items. These two small windows are above the mirror.
They are filled with a few vintage and new treasures. My framed nest, a cute white pitcher, sweet tins with birds and French graphics, a few vintage bottles, and one old talcum powder tin.
These are housed on the ledge at the back of my jetted tub.
I bought this garland one Christmas to hang over the tub. I hung glittery stars down from it. I decided that I liked it so much that I ended up leaving it up.
I found the heart mirror turned tray at the D.I. I filled it with thrift items. The old shaker holds baby powder, a blondes best friend. the miniature turquoise manicure set I bought at an estate sale. I thought it was so cute. Blue Waltz perfume brings back memories. I remember walking to Ben Franklins to buy me a bottle when I was in 6th grade.
Doesn’t this look so old fashioned?
In the commode room I have a shelf with more treasures. An old curling iron and bobbies. A girls gotta look her best.
The darling little wire birdcage I bought at a gift shop in WI. It’s just mini and I have it hanging from my towel bar.
This birdcage sits on the floor by the toilet. Always planned on hanging from a hook in the corner of the room. Ah, that was over 2 years ago. lol!
My friend, Ann gave me this cute bird filled with bath salts.
Décor on top of cabinets.
Instead of curtains, a simple postcard valance.
I know that’s a whole lot of bird items. Like my 11 year old grand daughter, Jordyn said, “Grandma, if you have a theme you go all out”. Gotta admit, the girl knows what she’s talkin about.
Hugs,
Jann

You know how much I love All Things Bird - so your post is delightful! Esp that robin, how cute is that?
But OMG Blue Waltz Perfume - wow, I haven't thought about that in a lifetime! I loved that! It was so so popular! I don't even remember its scent.
Thanks for the memories, it's nice to know the ole noggin hasn't forgotten too much!
Have a fabulous weekend.
Oh Jann, I just love your "tweet" bird bath... both of them, the Robins and your own... and you have one smart granddaughter there!... hey, if you're gonna do something, might as well go all out!... love it!... I could move into your house and it would suit me to a tee!...we love so many of the same things... Nature is a HUGE part of every day in my life, and I cannot imagine a world without our feathered friends... all of your treasures are so pretty!... I especially love your postcard valance... and the birdnest, and the bottles... well, why don't I just tell you I love it ALL!... xoxo Julie Marie
Your room is darling. I love all the bird touches....I have never seen a bird with bath salts in it...cute!
Jann you have a lot of really sweet birdie things around your home. I love watching birds bathing in the birdbath. Have a lovely weekend. Pamela
More proof that we are kindred spirits! I love birds, feed our birds 25 pounds of seed a week in our 8 feeders, and had my bathroom decorated with all things 'bird'! (This spring I moved it all out to the entryway for a change of pace. Hoping to paint the bathroom now!)
So fun to watch that robin splash about, and your birdie bath is just as sweet!
:>
Wonderful photos of the robin!
What fun to catch a scene like that!

I have been enjoying the birds in my yard so much! They are one of my favorite things in nature! It is great when they enjoy our yards with us! Your birdy bathroom is very tweet!
Blessings,
Susie
Very beautiful and inspiring!
Love your birds, real and otherwise. I have cardinals who have raised families in my back yard for six years now, and I love to watch them.
Jann- I absolutely love bird items, too. I don't have as many as you have but I have quite a few.
I noticed we had birds "bathing" under the sprinkler here today- Love it.
Your photos are all wonderful- xo Diana
From the mouths of babes!! Love the pictures thanks for sharing!!

I wish I would have been there to see the robin bathing in the stream. So cute. I love how you point out every robin you see, you love them so much. Its one of my favorite things about you. Love you Mom
P.S i feel honored that i was the one who "published" this post.
Jann--This post is "for the birds!" lol Really enjoyed it! In the house I lived in before this one, we had a birdbath right outside our sun room. In the mornings, we'd drink our coffee there and enjoy the show. Sometimes there were as many as 5 birds bathing at one time. Always fun to watch. . .
Cute! I like the look! I like to have guest towels available, so to keep them from taking up lots of room, I roll them and place in a cute metal wine rack which hold 6 of them. Same idea used in the extra bathroom and everyone loves it.
Like your stuff so neat!

Always cute to watch a bird taking their baths. What a show. Lovely photos, thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
I love the images of the robin taking a bath. He looks like he was having a good time.
Your other images are simply lovely.

Thanks for sharing your bathroom blues.
Happy Blue Monday, Jann.
I love all the vintage blues in your bath! What a creative decorator you are. Have a terrific Blue Monday!
What a lovely home you have and your granddaughter is right....you go with it!
I get so many ideas just looking at your pictures. Thanks for the tour and the "cupa"!
Your room is so cute! You are great
with your displays! I love the towel rack with the birds nest and the vintage towel! I'm looking for a unique way to display something in my bathroom and this gives me ideas! My Mom has that shaker bottle with the powder in it (Estee Lauder)! I adore the miniature turquoise manicure set! I have a little bottle of Shalimar that would look cute displayed like your Blue Waltz! Great ideas!
Wow, beautiful BLUES!
Visiting for Blue Monday- Hope you can stop by..

Such a charming bathroom, Jann. I love that quote from your granddaughter. She really has you pegged, doesn't she? LOL. You bath will be featured at tomorrow's ERITH party. Thanks for sharing! ~ Nancy
