a desert fete

Alright.  I use all of my mind power to summon all ten or so of my regular readers to check in within the next 10 hours and give you opinion on the following subject.  I mentioned in the past the upcoming arrival of a niece in my family, and this weekend is her baby shower.  I have been dying to try my hand at making mobiles. Since her parents bought her some kind of jungle themed bedding, I was going to make a little jungl-y mobile... using little lions, giraffes, monkeys and elephants like the little guy below, he was for practice....

I also tested my mobile making ideas with this simple little red flock inspired number....  It is just four birds in a line [small to large] with wood veneer on one side and rich museum board on the other.

So, here is the dilemma.  After all of my practicing, the quarter resumed, and I uh, ran out of time. I know, I know. I am a terrible aunt already.  But I did make some prototypes for the announcements, does that redeem me a little? Anyways... I was thinking of just giving them this little birdie one.  But then Ben Left made a frowny face at that suggestion.  Apparently he thinks it is a little too mod design for our slightly more main stream siblings.  Ok, they are slightly more main stream and conservative in their tastes than us, but they are pretty hip 30 something bay area foodie types.  After all, we bought them this for christmas  and they loved it.... [or they are better actors than I would give them credit for]

So. What do you say? Would the average young kind of hip but not over the moon modern design lover like to hang this little birdie mobile in their little girls room?  Do I dwell over this stuff too much? Hmmmmm..... Help?
