Ladies Watches



 I just got a batch of the tiniest vintage women's watches, (minus cases).
That is, face, and works, but no outside.
These have been so hard to find here,
so I was thrilled to find them.
The mans watch is in pic so you can see how very tiny these are.
Most 1/2" or less!!!
.
 
oops. sideways
Like these 4, and a couple more.
I think the rest are sold,
but just in case, let me know if you are interested.

I'm showing these off for white Wednesday!
(even though not all of them are white) =)

Blue Birdie Nest

Another new nest.
 Found this little vintage coin purse.
Dark green on outside and pretty blue on inside.
(Not as bright as it looks in photo)


Put in one my little hand made nests....
filled it inside and out with cottonwood fluff, a feather,
cheesecloth, a bit of vintage doily.....
and a sweet little blue birdie.
Even some 'hand made by me' eggs in this one. =)


and a little sign if you want.
We really should, after all, celebrate life and all the 
goodness the Lord has blessed us with. =)
```````````````````````````````
a fun idea (sideways, sorry)
This is the lid to and old coffee pot (or other something)
Doesn't it make a unique frame??
and anyone know what these are?
I think maybe they go on antique canning jars to hold the lid on?

Thanks for coming by.
I'm joining Blue Monday,

New Nest Home


New Nest in a coin purse.
I like to use what I have found to put my bird nests in.
This week it is Vintage coin purses.
  
that is cottonwood in the nest and around it. 
And see the little birdie??
Someone came into the store and bought it 15 minutes after I had made it!
Gotta love that. =)
