An Artfully Crafted Birdcage at the Far West Trading Co.

I love the Far West Trading Company in Graton, Calif. The charming shop features treasures from the orient, including antiques and replicas directly imported from China. I have always admired this hanging birdcage.

The cage is made of wooden slats as thin as matchsticks, with incredibly detailed and ornate carvings.

The inside is hung with tassels, a swing and pretty porcelain dishes for food and water. I think it’s perfect, even without a song bird inside!
