Jan Von Ins’ birdhouses are true works of art, lovingly handcrafted from smooth Lake Michigan beach stones and topped with roofs shingled piece-by-piece from local pinecones. Each one is finished with a soft polyurethane sheen, making it equally at home as a stunning mantel or bookshelf display. While some bird lovers place them outdoors, these intricate creations are best treasured indoors where they can be enjoyed for years — a unique and heartfelt gift for any nature enthusiast.
