Birds Nesting Here

My friend, Diane at A Picture is Worth A Thousand... hosts 2nd Time Around. She's a creative and crafty lady. She finds what some may think is not worth much, and paints it or tweaks it a bit and creates a thing of beauty, function, and/or value for her home. If you'd like to join in the fun, click on the link.

Diane is influencing me! Last week, we spotted a thrift shop and decided to stop in. It was clean and well organized. When I inquired, I found out that they had just opened this past June. I'm sure I'll return.

I found these cute birds for only $1.50 each, but on that day, they were 50% off. I paid $1.50 for both of them! They're flawless, and I'm glad that they've nested here.

  15. Hi Sally, I am happy you have discovered the fun of thrifting. A good find on those pretty birds. I'm glad they didn't fly away into some other home to nest.

  18. Hi Sally! I LOVE these sweet little birds!! What a lucky find, and at a price like that!! I am so flattered that you liked my blue flag, and I am still thinking of joining in for Blue Mondays, but my computer is a very old horse. It's so slow getting through a Pink Saturday, that I don't know if it can handle a Blue Monday so soon thereafter! I'd love to though, and am still thinking on joining in sometime. My dear daughter is thinking of getting a new computer soon, then she would give me hers... which is at least a newer model than mine!.. We'll see what happens there! (0; Have a good night!
