Steel Yourself for Spring

Ladybug! Ladybug! Fly away home...
It is hard to resist these handcrafted steel sculptures made in Vermont by blacksmith Steve Bronstein. We now have a ladybug and a dragonfly ($135 each) that would look stunning on a patio, a windowsill or a coffee table.
His songbirds and ground birds (from $45 each), which we introduced in November, are equally appealing and evocative. They sold out in a flash, and we have just replenished our flock. Steve says they are meant to express delicacy and grace as well as strength and power. (Scroll down to see them pictured below.)
Swoop on in to adopt your favorite. We don't wanna bug you, but do remember that when they fly away we have to wait weeks for Steve to make us more.
