Stepping back in time has become a favorite hobby for me.  I love everything vintage!  It brings a warmth to my soul to see images of the present in a setting from the past.  Decorating with past time pieces is also something that I love.  So when my sister and her four boys began "Making Old New Again" with MONA Boutique, I fell in love! 

Mica and her boys build hand crafted bird houses with barn wood from old barns in and around the area.  Each piece is intricately designed with beveled rusty tin and vintage hardware from days gone by.  No two pieces are alike, so as you decorate your home, provide a home for the peeps of nature or give this as gift, know that you will have a one-of-kind piece unlike any other.  Maybe your choice will be "The Key to my Heart", "Deer to Me", "Welcome Home" or "Handle Me Gently".  "Deer to Me" is a popular favorite this season with rustic reindeer hardware embellishing both front and back on this birdhouse.  Here are a few pictures of what she has available.  Should you want to purchase one, you can find them on display at Ace Door Servicing or Daphne's Simply Southern Bakery in Mint Hill, NC.  Or contact Mica @ 704-363-2297.
