Feather My Nest

I recently read online,

A bird nest is a symbol of the home. It reminds us that we strive to make our home a place where family members grow and prosper. Considered a good luck symbol, the bird nest represents all the love and warmth, enthusiasm and commitment required in creating the happiest of homes.

I have always loved bird's nest, now I understand why.
 No, let's say addicted to bird's nest, so much so, I have asked friends to send them  to me!

Tradition says that adding a nest to your Christmas tree will bring you good luck and good fortune during the coming year. It's never too early to think about Christmas.

 Isn't that a wonderful tradition? 

Remember my previous post about bird's nests? 

You can read it here.

This nest was sent to me by a friend in Texas. 
And yes, that is a spray painted golden egg.

These are real bird's nest under the cloches.

Another group of nests.

Real blown out quail eggs(you can buy these) mixed in with the golden egg and some feathers I found. 

Globes, nest, eggs, feathers and white animals.
(Janet spray painted these plastic animals white)

The light fixture at client/friends home in California.

This is the light fixture at night all ready for a party!

 Light fixture with a sweet bird's nest up in the top. 

Isn't this nest brilliant! 

Birds are master architects, resourcefulness at its best!

It has fabric woven throughout- 

Birds are amazing creatures, they sing, build great homes and fly...

I adore all birds. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

Love,

Peggy

Home for Birds

I have been fascinated with bird's nest since my childhood in Florida.
I think they are works of art, to think a bird built that with twigs,cotton, ribbon anything the mama bird can find.

All of the nests I have received are from friends (I sent an e-mail asking for any they may have) and are watched carefully to make sure the mama bird does not want to use it again. They do, you know.

One day birds appeared on one of the skylights at the shop,happily pecking & walking around.
I am surrounded by all things lovely in nature. 

This bird's nest was sent to me by GS who knows I love nests (the egg we painted).

We used bird's nests in our Easter window.

Another shot of the other Easter window with bird's nest.

You can buy these quail eggs by the dozen.

This is a nest cut out of a tree in Texas. Mama Bird put big feathers in the nest
(gold egg is painted). This one is my very favorite.

I love to use cloches over the nest.

This nest was found in Florida with the unborn egg in it! There is also a hummingbird's nest next to the Florida nest.

 Nature has been so gracious to give us all these things.

Another picture with the nest with real quail eggs, painted golden eggs & painted birdie.

I think my calling as a home designer makes me the perfect person to adore nests!

Tell me what you adore, dear readers.
