The plates will still be there. The chickadee will not.
This chickadee shirt is for the person who abandons the sink the moment something lands outside the kitchen window. Priorities, clearly stated.
The design: Birds Before Dishes
A black-capped chickadee drawn in fine black ink perches on a short twig at the top.
BIRDS stands in bold green capitals, BEFORE DISHES in smaller green letters beneath it, and a simple teal plate outline rests at the bottom like the chore that can wait.
The tee: why it costs a little more
A basic tee can feel thin and wear out fast. This one is made to be a favorite. It feels soft and comfortably broken-in from the first wear, with a little more weight, so it hangs nicely instead of clinging. The relaxed fit gives you room to move, it stays breathable on warm days, and the color has a soft, lived-in look. It is also made to last, so it stays in your weekend rotation season after season. That extra comfort and longer life is why it costs a little more than a basic tee.

Who it's for
Kitchen-window watchers, chickadee fans and anyone who has let the dishes soak a little longer for a better look. It suits a lazy weekend, a farmers market or a birding walk. A sweet gift for a birthday, Mother's Day or a housewarming.
