bye bye birdie




Amidst scandal a great filmmaker once proclaimed "the heart wants what it wants" - a sentiment with which I can passionately identify.  I love anything that can't be put into a category, anything that can provoke a simultaneous reaction of love and aversion depending upon the perspective of the beholder.  These reactions are what The Afternoon is all about, what we are ever striving to achieve - around every corner you will find the unexpected.  We make every effort to ensure that you won't be bogged down by the dull, the mediocre, the "more of the same"....
As for me and my bird, well - this sweet bronze titmouse embodies the cute, the beautiful, and the slightly disturbing - which is why I had to bring it back from New York to share with everyone!  It has a dual purpose, in that it will happily (or grudgingly??) hold your rings for you, all the while serving as a conversation piece.  Any way you look at it, this lovely creature guarantees a profound reaction.
