Queen of the Nest

Here is another project I’ve completed for the Spring Fling Fundraiser Bazaar that will be held on March 31, here in Fredericksburg. I still have a pile of stuff to work on, but am so excited when I get a project completed!

I have a really bad habit of forgetting to take “before” pictures. The “nest” for this little birdie was a neon lime green candle holder. Now, Ms. Birdie presides ever so elegantly over her white embellished nest.

It’s a little difficult to see, but she is ready for tea, with her cup full of pearls.

Ha, that rhymes!

I simply painted the candle holder with white acrylic paint and added some crystal looking beads, vintage lace, trim, sequins and some pieces of jewelry. She is sitting on top of a cushion made from stuffed burlap. Her “crown” is a little heart charm.

Looks like this gal’s got fancy taste when feathering her nest.

  8. Shannon, Thank you so much for making my first linky party a success. Love the vintage style nest. Sorry, I missed your party on Saturday, I'll be there this week. My mother-in-law moved 2 doors down from us so we were very busy. She's 87 this year...Hope you can stop by again Friday. See you on Saturday!

    Love, Jody
