Dennis Hollingsworth

Fwd: Burd house

Our Aunt Chickie and Uncle Richard sent us pics of their latest bird house/ music box:

Chickie's got a great voice, and I can hear it in her writing. So I thought it would be best to reproduce her email here so that maybe you all can (possibly) hear it too:

Well so glad you liked the pictures but before Dennis does his thing on the blog? we have two more different style houses to send you but Richard is out to lunch with a friend right now and I will have him send them when he gets back in an hour. he just took the pictures this morning.?These are not JUST bird houses these are music boxes, the one you saw on the top of the extension where all the windows are that turn and it plays teddy bear picnic the others you pull the perch out and they too have music boxes in them each with a different song. we started doing these as far back as your wedding house we built you that was how long ago? My inspiration comes from living back in New England I love the old houses back there and English cottages.
each of the shingles are hand cut by Richard, he uses any kind of wood nothing special. he makes the mailboxes by hand on the scroll saw. each time we do one we just seem to get more creative the newspaper on the front stairs some have milk bottles on the stairs. Richard also does all the windows and door on the scroll saw. I am just so tickled you like them so much and that Dennis is going to show them all over the world. we started doing this after building? the dollhouse hat was a major project that we thought we could copy that on a smaller scale by doing the birdhouses then they moved on to be music boxes.? it's so relaxing to do these takes your mind far far away.
I will send more pictures in a while
?
love
chickie
