New Nests & Shabby Mirror




New little nest

Sweeet old shabby mirror.
Do you love this as much as I do???
Hope I can find a wall at the store big enough to display it.
~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember this outdoor lamp I got last month?

I took out the wiring, and
here it is with one of my nests in it.



See the white fluff'?
That is some of the cottonwood I found and showed you.
And this is actually a found nest,
and not one of my hand made.
Don't find them very often, and it was
the perfect color and size for this project.
I just love how it turned out,
And I have two old rusty black lanterns
I will do up the same way.

  15. P.S.
    I'm sure you read about the new Link party for Friday...it dawned on me that you might want to show off your bottles with the Bible verses, although I'm still going to post the other bottle later in the month on there...

  25. WOW! Do I every love your idea with the birdnest in the lamp. I guess I will take down our new lamp on the back porch and put a nest in it. (just kidding) But I will be looking for an old lamp now. Thanks for the inspiration.
