I was out walking in the neighborhood and the streets are lined with trees. The trees are pretty bare still and I saw so many cute bird's nests. My mom, who is a bird lover, told me that they do not come back to their old nests. After that, I reached up and snagged one, took it home and shook the bird poopy out of it then sprayed it with a clear coat. It turned out so pretty. The only thing I would suggest doing is spraying it with spray adhesive first so that it stays together better. My friend
Elise loves nests as well and they are hard to find. I am going to take my ladder out and get one for you too Elise!
Here is the finished product with an egg and a bird in it.
I put it under a cloche. Very simple!
I am doing a light "sprinkling" of spring this year at our house. I honestly can't find my spring decor so I am just using what I have and adding some bits of blue. I got three of these pretty votive cups at my favorite store for FREE! I love that place! (They were a little damaged, but I don't care). This is my wooden Christmas lamb turned Easter lamb. It stands for Jesus and how he laid down his life for us at Easter. He is now Risen!
I just love this rusty urn turned egg cup.
I have started collecting glass bottles for my bathroom, but I just love this one in the kitchen.
I also am collecting aged silver pieces and just snagged this cake plate at my favorite store too. The glass on the cloche is very dirty, sorry!
This chenille carrot came from Makenna's kitchen. I wish I could say I made it, but I didn't.
Another silver cup I collected along with an old silver candlestick I had. I got the tray at a garage sale last year for $1.00. I found these flashcards and stained them with coffee to age them a bit.
Happy Spring!! Now off to plant some tulips and daffodils that I didn't get around to doing this winter!
