One of the things I love about our porch is watching the birds. For a while I haven't seen any around because our birdhouse broke. It was a plain wooden one that held seed that I bought at Target & made Dan assemble. I think part of the proceeds went to St. Jude Hospital for kids. Anyway, I have been on the hunt for the perfect birdhouse and/or feeders in a reasonable price range. The latter immediately disqualifies all of the cool ones featured in Dwell as well as Chicago Apartment Therapy's suggestions. Apparently, if you want something modern for birds to sit in or eat from, it will cost you an arm and a leg. (Like this one at Target --still--$72!!) Lo and behold, I found a reasonably priced interesting looking feeder (pictured above), but I can't remember what store it was in online!!! Help! Has anyone else ever seen these anywhere?
Also, I've tracked down the designer of these little birdhouses (pictured above) that I think retail under $30, but can't remember what store I saw them in! Dan was with me...Maybe he doesn't want me to remember!?! :) Help! Has anyone seen these?

Okay, the first one is the ball-shaped Eva Solo Bird Feeder (design: C. Jensen & H. Holbaek). At first I could only find places in the UK that sold it but I found an online shop that has it here:

If I had to guess, I would think someplace like Hive might carry it or be able to point you in the right direction. (I understand this hardly helps.) :)
I'll commence the search for the second birdhouse now.
Some other stores in Portland that carry modern furnishings:
Shag Midcentury Modern
Hip
DWR
Portland Modern
Gingko Home Furnishings
Intelligent Design
We're not having much luck with the second birdhouse. The neighborhoods that might have a store that would carry something like this are varied - NW, the Pearl, Irving, Hawthorne...About the only place you wouldn't likely find it is in Sellwood. We're all about the antiques here. Good luck with your search.
Yes! Thank you!! I also remembered finally that I saw the birdhouse at Presents of Mind on Hawthorne.
