Show and Tell Friday - new store pics

Kelli-show and tell Friday It's Show and Tell Friday.
Go on over to Kelli's House to see the rest of the great posts.
ThanksKelli, for being such a great hostess.


Here is the latest bird nest to show up at our place.
It is in a big, old fashioned candle holder.
What is a bid nest doing in there?
Well, you know those birds will build a nest just about anywhere.

And here is our mantle, partly done.


And a close up of it.
See the nest tucked into the ivy?
What about the one on the branch poking up out of that brass container?
Here is a vintage purse.
And beautiful vintage tea set.

Hmm, guess i should have saved those for next week's vintage Thursday. =0)

Blessings and have a wonderful weekend.

I love all your vintage things! Thank you for posting the idea about putting a birds nest in the lantern! I have a lantern and I could just not figure out what to put in it! Yay!

All the best,
Allison

Hi Barbara Jean,
Don't you just love where the birds pick to build their nests? What a perfect viewing spot though!
All your items are so pretty I can't pick my favorite!

Barb, I like the mantle. Was it like that while I was there yesterday or had you put that together after I left? I sure do like your nest in the lantern, looks great!! Sheri from the store.

Your mantle is just gorgeous. I have to admit that I am "mantle challenged". I can never get mine looking like I want.
