A few gifts...a tiny nest and our sweet baby ~

I ran across a few wonderful old things I scanned a few years ago and

just knew you'd love them again!

This old rose print is so tattered and torn but I didn't care,

just look at it!

Maybe you can print it out and use it...

it would be beautiful on tags ~

A couple of old seed packets, they would be so sweet framed and hung together!

I know you've seen this print everywhere ~

I was so lucky to find an original print to scan for you....

A few things more to share ~

we have a tiny wren's nest in our barn!

She has several eggs and they are just beginning to hatch.

This is not the best photo as it was with my phone.

I want to try one more time before they all leave the nest ~

Funny thing is, she made the nest in the top of an open plastic container!

And I wanted to share these recent photos of Clara...

I just can't believe how big she is!

Here she is playing on the trampoline ~

And here at the farmhouse...boy, the dandelions seem to be taking over!

Clara's talking so much now and absolutely loves being outside ~

I hope you have a great Tuesday sweet friends!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

You found a wonderful bird's nest . . . now what do you do?

I've had several emails and comments about bringing a nest inside, and how do I prepare it? Well, you're right, they do have little critters in them and it's best not to bring those in the house right away! What I do is place the nest in a plastic grocery sack and spray liberally with bug spray. I don't really think it matters which particular kind though. Tie the bag in a knot and leave outside for a few days. After a couple of days, the smell is usually gone. Then bring it in to use in your display!

Stay warm sweet friends!! xxoo, Dawn
