"Nesting" at the Shop...planter basket "birdcage"...



Hello friends...sorry I haven't been around much these last few weeks.  We were actually in Florida over Spring break...and now I am still playing "catch up" here.

I haven't had much "project time" here...but we did do a little "nesting" in the window and our booth at Antiques Downtown before I left.  Here's something I haven't shared yet...

 
I had a couple of these planter baskets...


...put them together and what do you get??


Looks like a birdcage to me :)


I just tied them together with twine and added some ribbon and a vintage pin...


...and clipped on some paper pretties inside...


...and out.


Here it is in the window at the shop.


Thinking Spring.


I made these hanging planters into nests too....single...


...and double.


Of course there are other "nests" tucked in here and there too.


Who could resit that face?


And yes, we're still waiting for Spring here in MN...in fact there is snow in the forecast today :(
Joan and I are heading back to the shop today...the shop is having a sale this Friday through Sunday (April 12-14) so we're going to "pretty it up" a little.  I'll take some more photos of our booth when were done and post them on Facebook tonight.  So hop on over and like Chipping with Charm if you are interested...

Have a great week!!

  8. I love the wire baskets together with bird cutouts. Very clever as always. Bring back spring? I didn't know it was ever here!

  9. What a fabulous idea! I never thought of putting two together. I can see them together as a planter filled with flowers or succulents. Much less expensive than buying a bird cage. Especially if they can be found at one of the dollar stores. Now you have me thinking I need to head out the door to find them before they're all snapped up.
