Ever since the hipster spoofing series Portlandia made fun of crafty folks who put birds on things, we’ve expected that the trend of feather and fowl motif objects would fall out of fashion. But it hasn’t because, we can only assume, people LOVE when other people put a bird on it. Case in point, this enamelware pitcher by green gift outfit Nkuku that would look right at home on twee holiday tables in Portland, Brooklyn, Silver Lake and, of course, Parkdale. $45, Gardiner Museum Shop, 111 Queens Park, 416-586-8080, gardinermuseum.on.ca.
