Which nest is best?

Finding my creative side lately & loving it! I am sure to most of you this is easy and not that big of a deal. But to me, I’m stepping out on a limb to try to come up with something worth sharing!  Between Michaels and Ben Franklin visits and visiting your blogs, I’ve come up with a couple sweet nesting ideas that I put together!  As most of you know that follow me know how much I love gardening, birds and cages ~ this first idea is my absolute favorite!  I put together a few of them for upcoming birthday gifts for a few of my girlfriends!  I loved it so much I had to keep one for myself to sit out on my hall tree!

This second little porcelain birdie came in a few different colors. So I of course grabbed them in all colors to use in these sweet nests which are much larger than the ones pictured inside the cages!  I was so pleased with how these turned out too!  I’m sure my Aunt will adore this “hostess gift” when I bring it over for Easter brunch!

I love these little cages too, and I've also used them for gifts. They're nice for any season! ::Jill
Love the bird in the cage, because I have the same one or very, very similar anyway. It's on my blog several posts ago. That was a great find at Michael's, huh? I like to think maybe I inspired you, but if not, don't tell me. Let me live the illusion! You are stepping out on that limb very well!

Happy White Wednesday, Tracie - you've done a fine job...these are just adorable. Hope you are having a great week!! :O)
I love the nest inside the birdcage. Might be because I have a thing for birdcages!!! ~~Sherry~~
How Sweet ~ My favorite is the nest in that wonderful cage... I wish we still had BF's they left about 25 years ago around here~
