Twirly Birds, Wauwatosa

Vintage finds from quirky to glam


Yesterday we went to Cattywampus; today we're walking a stone's through down North Ave to Twirly Birds. While Cattywampus is more old-made-new, Twirly Birds is decidedly antique/vintage. Some of the vintage pieces have been reappointed (as you'll see with my retro Christmas finds below), but the overall vibe is much more antique-y.




The front room has a lot of antiqued brass, gold, and crystal pieces including wall sconces and chandeliers. I love the glamorous finds in this room, and though they're glam, the prices are plenty reasonable. There's also a hallway decked with gold-framed mirrors.







There are still other rooms to explore at Twirly Birds, each filled with a rather random assortment of things. Some charming vignettes are set here and there, but mostly it's like a game of I Spy.

The back-most room is piled with stuff. Fun stuff. Again, try playing I Spy to weed through. Luckily, I spied a couple pieces of Christmas awesomeness from the holiday clearance table. They were so weirdly whimsical (and half-off!) that I just had to have them.



So for the vintage lovers of MKE, venture to Tosa and check out this little shop! It's a total delight. I plan to head back soon — more mirrors, chandeliers, and nifty retro must-haves, please!
