I'm enjoying watching all the birds in our neighborhood hunt for the most perfect weed for their nests. The fledglings are everywhere. I am especially enamoured with a cute little Blue Jay fledgling. He tries to eats everything while he learns what is edible. It is adorable. This afternoon, the little girl I watch in the afternoon got to watch three baby blue jays as they took advantage of my birdbath. She was thrilled.
This weekend I came across a beautiful metal candelabra at HomeGoods. It was begging for some embellishment. I stuffed the open cavities with some sheet moss. I added some cute
felted wool mushrooms to the bottom and hollowed out a spot in the middle of the candelabra for a miniature nest complete with eggs and feathers. A nod to all our feathered friends in the yard. I'm not sure if it will end up with candles or not. I like it without right now.

Sunday, my sweet friend Sarah and I went on the hunt at a nearby antique mall. I came across this scale and I couldn't pass it up. It ended up on my dining table. It needed this artichoke and some twine. Why? I don't know but I think it looks just right!

antique scale - the twine and artichoke seemed
a good fit. Note the felted mushroom in a jar. |
