~~~~~" I Hear The Bluebirds Song "~~~~~

A bird does not sing because he has an answer. He sings because he has a song . Joan Walsh Anglund taken from "A Cup of Sun"~1967.

Nothing stirs my heart more than the melodious sound of the bluebird's song ~I love it's heartfelt voice of "True-ly~True-ly"as he tenderly beckons~~come and see me~come and see me. Ever so softly I walk, so that I might catch a glimpse of~ his royal highness~~ dressed in his brilliant blue regal robe!!! AHHH~~~~SPRING~~~~AT LAST~~~~AWAKE ! ~AWAKE !~The earth is alive once more, the cold winter is past ~the snow is melted~the valley is alive with the sound of ~" THE BLUEBIRDS SONG "!

How I love this little winged king!

" His soft eyes of jet "

~His vest of rust and red~

His sweet song dances in my head !

At last...... the " KING and QUEEN of SPRING "!!!!!

And what's this ? Dare I hope of an heir to his royal throne~
Do I see ~three !!!!

~~~~SOME THINGS YOU JUST LOVE~~~~

Some things, you just love!!! And for me~it's this sweet bowl with a nest in a branch of a tree. The nest has five little white eggs in it!

These little birds are so sweet! When I saw them I just had to have them, so now they live with me all over the house. They go with so many things I own. I love creating vignettes with them.

This -nest- my son found, he brought it home so carefully in his sweet little hands. I will always treasure it. IT'S PERFECT!!!!! Now I know you are not to get nest from the wild, but this one is MINE!!!!!!!!! I'll never forget the look on my son's face when he placed his sweet treasure in my hands!!!!! HIS WHOLE FACE LIT UP WHEN HE SAW THE SMILE ON MY FACE!!! He knew I'd LOVE it!!!!!!!

I LOVE THIS BOWL.

I got this tin the same day I bought the scissors and easel. Remember, from an earlier post? I would like to stop here for a moment and tell you about TWO new bloggers -------FIRST--Please visit Regina, at " The Willow Rose".

I loved this when I saw it, it was meant for Christmas but I leave it out all year. It goes with everything, even if it didn't I would still leave it out~ the BIRD makes me HAPPY!!!

Just a little close up!

HAPPY LITTLE BIRDS

Just pull things from your yard to dress things up when you're posting, a little GREEN goes a long way! Look at the things you have around in your house, you might surprise yourself at what beautiful vignette you can create.

Add a little sparkle with old jewelry.

I LIKE MIXING TEXTURE WITH COLOR.

Can you see the red in the rust on the keys? See how it works with the sweet gum balls and pine comb?

Vintage Lace, vintage shoe buckle, broken vintage neckless -- just because it's broken doesn't mean it still can't be beautiful!!! Add a sweet little seashell and a little wooden egg and now you have---- PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!

*****PEARLS*****

~~~~~~~~I LOVE THIS BOWL~~~~~~~~

See the gold leaves~~~~love it!!!

******A little white feather******

~~~~~~~KEYS~~~~~~~

THIS TIN HAS BALL FEET

""""" AND A FLAT TOP! GREAT FOR DISPLAYING BEAUTIFUL THINGS"""""

I hope you have enjoyed all my little tips and treasures!

~~~~JUST NEVER FORGET THE LOVE AND LACE~~~~

"SOME THINGS IN A CAGE MAKE MY HEART SING!!!"

I love bird cages! All shapes and sizes. New and old! Throw in a "BEAUTIFUL" little nest and my heart leaps with joy!!!

Add a vintage brooch and a sweet little angel and now it's a little bit of heaven!

I like to use these little houses to display my treasures! They seem to just draw you into the cage with them.

This is a vintage bird cage, it's a Hendrix, everything was there when I bought it even the tray inside and the stand! I like how the bottom is bent, it adds to the story of it's past life!

This little water dish wouldn't stay put, but alittle vintage ribbon did the trick. Don't you just love the little cement bird planter?

These are pictures with the cage part off the base.

I LOVE THIS NEST !!! IT'S PERFECT!!!!

I collect old keys. Among many other things!

I use books to elevate things, to give height and importance!

Don't you just love these sweet little love birds!!!!
Do you see Cupid?

Basket of bird eggs anyone?

" HOW SWEET "

Pictures with the bird cage door open! See Cupid with his arrow?

I used a key to keep the door open.

This little picture belonged to my grandmother.

OOOPS!!!! This picture is for the next time, see the bowl in the background?

"ONE SWEET LITTLE NEST----ONE SWEET LITTLE EGG"

IT'S NICE TO BE BACK DEAR FRIENDS!!!
