Vintage Cottonwood Creek Bird Seeds artwork with a Northern Cardinal and “Nature’s Mix Since 1892” sack, “Sold by Blue Earth Valley Supply, Mankato, Minn.” Available as 4×6 and 8×12 photo prints and a 20×30 cm metal tin sign.
This Cottonwood Creek Bird Seeds design brings southern Minnesota farm country indoors. A vivid Northern Cardinal sits on a bare branch beside a burlap sack labeled Nature’s Mix Since 1892. The bottom text reads:
Sold by Blue Earth Valley Supply, Mankato, Minn.
Behind the bird, fields, trees, and a barn stretch toward a soft sky. The artwork is rendered in warm browns and reds with a gently distressed border, giving it the look of a well-loved seed-and-feed poster pulled from an old supply house.
Cottonwood Creek Bird Seeds is a completely fictional brand, created to capture the charm of early 1900s bird seed advertising while avoiding any real company logos. It fits right in with your Cedar Point, Champlain Shore, Copper Country, Apple Ridge, and Penobscot River pieces as part of a regional bird seed gallery wall.
Perfect for:
Farmhouse kitchens and dining rooms
Coffee bars, pantries, and mudrooms
Cabins, lake houses, and bird-watching corners
Anyone with ties to Mankato, Blue Earth County, or rural Minnesota
