My Target birdies Pierre and Marie have had a very busy time during my bloggy break...so busy that they decided to participate in a triple post this week! So you will be seeing them first in Barb's What's on Your Wall Wednesday at Grits and Glamour. Be sure to stop by her blog to see who's playing this week and to see what she's up to!
Their daytime job involves posing as realistically as possible in front of my Spode Blue Room plate on the wall! What do you think? Have they earned their pay? As a sideline this year, they have qualified for Wordless Wednesday over at Dixie's in French Lique, Texas by agreeing to take care of my...
...taxes!! The birdies did such a great job that they even got me a refund! Maybe it's because they don't speak English and that helped them to understand the foreign language in those tax forms! Merci, Pierre et Marie! Be sure to head on over to French Lique to see if everyone else has managed to meet the April 15th deadline!!
Soooo...since everything seemed to be under control, I decided to take a break and left them in the capable hands...er...paws of Isabella. Big mistake!! Hey...wait a minute!! They're escaping! Isabella...stop them! Ohhh noooo!!! Too late! They must have heard about the Target Birds on Holiday instigated by Susan's birdies over at Between Naps on the Porch! 
They have flown the coop and headed to HOLLYWOOD!! Yes, that's right...Pierre and Marie have gone Hollywood! Tired of receiving minimum wage from corporate, they have taken a cue from Baby Kitty and gone on strike! I have heard through the grapevine that they have even joined the Screen Actors Guild and have already been offered starring roles in a few movies and television series such as.... 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Doves...
Sponge Bobolink: the Movie...
Parrots of the Caribbean...
American Ibis...
Jurassic Partridge...
and even my favorite...Starling Wars!!!Now that they've had a taste of Hollywood glamour, they may never come back! And they are scheduled for a tablescape on Thursday!! My only hope is that corporate will be able to negotiate a deal with them! In the meantime, I'm going to head on over to Susan's to see if I can find a trace of them in the other birdie holiday posts!! Please let me know if you see them!! Thanks!
Debbie, I am laughing out loud! That was just sooooo cute and fun! You are so creative. I do hope they make it back home though, because they looked so pretty on that pedestal in front of your blue transferware plate! Thanks for the laughs. laurie

ReplyDeleteDebbie - I am dying! This is so funny! I think you just might be the next big Hollywood screen writer. So so funny! I just was wondering - was Isabella yawning - or testing her mouth to see if she could squeeze in both birdies? LOL

Oh my they definately did a wonderful job accessorizing your gorgeous plate and wow a tax refund they should definately have gotten a pay rise, but what if they make it big in hollywood I suspect you might have to make another trip to Target for Pierre and Marie Take-Two. Kathy.

Hi Debbie! LOL! I am going to have a stomach ache from laughing too much reading all these Target bird posts. Love your Hollywood creativeness! And yes, my eggs and nest are real. I got up on a chair to take a picture cause the guy who watered our plants while we were away told me about the eggs. Was I surprised when a bird flew out, I almost fell off the chair. LOL! I am not sure what kind the eggs are, maybe sparrows....Christine
ReplyDeleteDebbie! I love this adventure your birds escaped to. What fun movie sets you created :0)

What a HOOT! I nearly choked when the birdies were sporting their "cause" ribbons like ALL celebrities! Thanks for the fun post...:)Nancy
ReplyDeleteDebbie--I knew your response to the challenge would be great and you certainly lived up to my expectations. You not only "killed 2 birds with one stone ..... you "killed 3"! You left "no stone unturned". Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHey Girlfriend...
ReplyDeleteGenius!!! I think that you should win an academy award for the production of "Birds Go To Hollywood"!!! I just got the biggest kick out of reading this story!!! You're not only a creative and talented designer but you are also such a creative story-teller!!! Fabulous, Dahling!!!
Love ya,
Chari
PS...I just about rolled off the chair when I seen your birds in their Ninja headbands! Girl, that was just too cute!!!
What a great sense of humor you have! All along I thought these birdies were just sweet little demure salt and pepper shakers. Now I find out that that they have secret lives, and that I probably should lock them up at night.
ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Wednesday
