These next few months are the blandest as far as decorating my house goes. I have a bunch of nests and I use springy natural mossy things.. and green plants, mushrooms.. and of course flowers. I like it to be a little less cluttered at this time of year.
Ive been thinking obsessing about birds and nests the last week or so. And finally last night around 9:30, I sat down and made a bird and nest before I went to bed. then I couldn't wait to get up this morning so I could see it again!
You cant tell by the picture but this is tiny!

Ive also been thinking about hosting a nest swap. It sounded like some of you were interested, so lets do it.
Sign ups can start today and will go til friday. you can email me at vivianneroni@yahoo.com if you are interested in joining in.
You will have one partner to swap nests with. Nests can be made out of any medium and any size you want. You can buy a nest and decorate it or you can be creative and make your own.
Here are some examples of nests and nest vignettes that I LOVE off of pinterest.

I think we should mail out by, lets say by May 6th. Lets keep this simple and not send a whole bunch of extra stuff. that gets overwhelming for me. I will match partners up on friday or saturday and send them right out. You know my number one rule.. dont mail it out until its too cute to send! make something that you wish you were keeping for yourself... which I should encourage you to make two.. and keep one for yourself! lol!
okeedokie...I need to go do something constructive! have a great day!

Squeal! Love the teacup nest idea. You found some great ideas. I'll be putting your nest in the mail later this week. I think I might show it on the blog Friday. I'll warn you ahead of time!
Sign me up if you have someone willing to swap international!

Viv, I had no idea so many different things could be used as a "nest"...love these pictures from Pinterest! I guess I need to learn to think outside the box! I would love to join the swap! chris
Viv....Your little bird is absolutely adorable!!!! :) I think as long as we keep it simple I can manage this swap! So many cute ideas :) I would have joined the supply swap...but I don't have enough cute stuff to fill the box and I wouldn't want anyone being disappointed. This year I'm going to alot of fleamarkets to build some stock for these great swaps.
I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with, Viv. YOUR nest is just darling. You have such a special touch for those "little things" in life- xo Diana
