Julie's package arrived today. With these beauties tucked inside plus a children's book full of the sweetest illustrations of birds, loose pages to use in my art from another old book, envelopes and even tiny sheet music! As a special bonus, she included a small drawstring bag full of garnet that she and her sons mined themselves. How wonderful is that??
Julie, it's all just so special to me. I came across a box of speckled eggs as I was cleaning my art room today so each nest had to have a few. I tucked them inside the wooden tray in the photo and now the entire display sits inside of our set of glass doored bookshelves. Thank you so very much, Julie ~ I'll have a special package off to you very soon :)

Hey I just found a little nest this morning. It made me sooo happy. It is such a beautiful creation. I found it on a path and guess it fell from the trees above. No eggs or little birds were near so hopefully thats a sign they had left the nest already. (Its summer here). Isnt nature and her creations amazing?!
Those little nests have found the perfect home! How kind of Julie.
I love how you have displayed them.

I always find beauty whenever I stop by. But this lot, outdid everything for me. I am moved to tears, can you imagine? Do you think you will have the heart to put any of this for sale?
I love how you creatively display nature! The nests are precious!!
A wonderful gift...
I just love all the nests in the tray,
perfect.
Years ago I found a nest in a tree just outside of my
garage. The nest was abundantly lined in white fluffy hair form my great Pyrenees
dog.
Those baby birds must have been very cozy . I wish I saved that nest.
wow- none of the nests I've found so far are really keepers...
So simple and so beautiful!
Your blog are beautiful!!

I'm so glad you like them Dawn. Doesn't the deep one look kind of like a heart? It was built in the crook of a tree.
I'm so happy you can display them. In my house, they sat in a closed box up on top of the piano because my boys played with them too much.
Dawn - how wonderful are they !!
It gives us such pleasure as we
behold God's plan to give all his creatures their homes -- I am thankful to the person who sent these your way and the delight you have in them and have now passed on and shared wih us . There is such a simple beauty in these objects . They tell a story about Gods love for us - as the birds have their nest we can snuggle into the nest of God's love for us
He is always there, our home our place of security , Thank you for this reminder this day -- Kathy - GA
Perfect! Those are great!
Dawn, what a great friend to share her sweet nests and other goodies with you. You have certainly made them look so pretty in the wooden tray - I must do something with a couple I kept from the wrens last year. I just know your creative spirit is in overdrive designing more luscious artwork with the illustrations!
Thanks for stopping by and your kind words - you are a special lady.
What precious little nests ~ They look so pretty in the wooden tray ~

O be still my heart. You are SUCH a lucky girl to have friends that send you these things (and I am not one of them lol) (sorry). For the record though - you've displayed them beautifully - I love your photos , and thank you so much for sharing. I have a hard time finding a feather , let alone a nest , so it's nice to be able to live through you!
how very nice..and oh so sweet to be sent something so pretty. nature's architecture always amazes me.
Dawn, your nests looks so sweet, what a wonderful gift:)
errr...LOOK so sweet...oopsie:)
What a wonderful package of goodies. Nests are such sweet little things. I know you will do something amazing with them.

I had to smile about your love of nests - I collect all the nests that I can find around the place and recently I needed 1/2 a nest for a piece of artwork, so I cut a damaged nest in half and because I needed it to keep its shape, I drizzled on some watered down glue and put it in the oven to bake and harden a bit! Then I rang my mother to say that I would be the only person in our small town to have a birds nest baking in the oven LOL!
I love your blog, it is the first I check out every morning with a coffee.
Thank you
Christina
What a beautiful gift Dawn. They have found the perfect home!
Stunning - what a simple, profound statement in these wonderful pictures of your tray.
I adore this arrangement, Dawn!
Hi Dawn,
I forgot to say last time, could you please enter my name in your generous draw too please.
I've had another delightful visit to your truly addictive blog.
warmest best wishes,
Su
These are so amazing!! I always think bird nests are so intricate and of course they are all so different given the species. I swear that I may have to start a collection even though it won't fit my decor!! Toodles..>Angie
