Description
This seabird shelf sitter ornament perches on the edge of a shelf with its long legs hanging down, bringing a good dose of character to any ledge. Made from resin and finished mainly in white, the bird sits with its eyes closed and a contented look, a little red bucket hat on its head with a strap under the chin. Its big orange beak holds a tiny wrapped parcel in blue with a red ribbon, a white scarf with blue stripes sits around its neck, and its wings hug a glittery green wreath topped with a bright red bow. It measures 7.5cm wide and 7.3cm deep, so it needs little room on a narrow ledge.
Shelf sitters belong on edges, and this one is happiest where its dangling legs can hang free: the front of a bookcase, a mantelpiece, a deep windowsill or the top of a dresser. The wreath and the little present give it a festive air, so it settles in easily among seasonal decorations, while the crisp white body keeps it bright on a kitchen shelf or in a hallway. We like it at eye level, where the closed eyes and the parcel in its beak can be seen properly, and its small footprint lets it share a shelf with books, trinkets or plants without crowding them.
The body is resin, which holds the fine detail of the feathers, scarf and wreath, with the red, orange, blue and green picked out clearly against the white. To set it up, sit it close to the front of a shelf and let the legs fall over the edge. Dust it now and then with a soft, dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, avoiding anything abrasive on the painted surface. It makes a cheerful small gift that is easy to wrap and sure to raise a smile.
