Oh, how I love a beautifully made tag! |
My special delivery came with special instructions. Remove the tissue in the center and give it a gentle fluff. |
And finally....my GORGEOUS nest... made especially for me by Vicki of 2 Bags Full. (Jami....you were right!) |
And just like a sweet bird would do... tidbits added here and there... tucked in just so. |
Look at these sweet details! |
It will live atop one of my old iron urns so I can give it a turn every so often to enjoy all its beauty. |
I will continue to study it, inside and out, top and bottom. It appears to be knitted (or crocheted) then all the goodies added. I am in awe of its creation and its creator. Vicki....it is more beautiful than I even thought it would be. I will cherish it and your friendship for years to come! Many thanks to you again.

I made mention of a vanity I happened across that I picked up for my granddaughter, Taylor's, 4th birthday. I wish I had taken a BEFORE shot, but here is the finished product. I delivered it today and am very pleased how much she loves it.
Taylor is truly a princess!! |
Once a cream and rose (and worn) painted vanity, it now wears Taylor's favorite purple. (Lavender actually to play off the purple walls in her room.) |
I am pretty proud of this letter T. I hand sketched it while looking at my computer screen, cut it out, traced it onto the vanity, then hand painted it. I am very pleased with the result. |
Sending blessings to you all for a great rest of the week ahead. I hope to talk to you again soon.
Hi sweet Carol!! I absolutely LOVE my nest that Vicki created for me...and yours is just as amazing, what a great idea to place it in an urn too!!! I put mine in an old bird cage that I painted cream...they truly are all so beautiful!!! And I love the vanity you painted for your sweet granddaughter, she will love it for so many years to come Carol....I hope you are having a wonderful new year, hugs and love, Dawn
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute and what a sweet friend to send that to you!!!
ReplyDelete*Thud* (That's the sound of me fainting from that gorgeous nest.) She doesn't miss a detail, does she? GORGEOUS. Taylor's vanity is beautiful, too! You did a wonderful job. Mind sharing what color lavender you used?

Carol-
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the nest are absolutely stunning! Someof the best that I have seen of the nests in their new home!! Thank you so much for giving this little nest such a beautiful place to live - you have made this Mama Knitter very happy!
The little desk that you created for your little grand daughter is adorable - she is absolutely a precious little girl!!

ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I love the sweet vanity. Congrats on the handpainted initial. It's a bit scary, isn't it? But it's just lovely.
