Meet my friend Virginia:
Some call her this:
She makes these:
Better than a bird.
She is one of my favorite vendors at Vintage Barn Show.
Last weekend, at the show, she gave me this:
And because she knows how much I love to use vintage ephemera in my work, she surprised me with these:
Virginia has no idea how much I love birds.
And nests.
I have this rather large *gallery* hallway in my home....
It is actually the size/shape of a small room, and it is where I have displayed most of my bird's nests, etc....
I hung one of my necklaces from Virginia's cage and added some eggs.
(more about that cute little cabinet and a later time...)
I think it looks just dandy.
I made this cube a while back. Not as easy as it may look.
This is where Big Mama usually lives.
This is a grouping I made using old botanical bookplates with inexpensive frames from Michaels. The key here is using the same exact size frame and mats (I cut my own) to make a statement.
This sweet little table was my bedside table growing up. It is circa 1860. (or so my grandmother told me)
I love it.
The collection of large eggs on the right are actually from chickens we had many years ago.
We called them "The Girls".
I blew them out and saved them.
I hope you enjoyed meeting Virginia.
Thanks for stopping by!
ps: make sure you come back to see how I use the treasures Virginia gave me.
You won't be sorry!
