Bird & Cloche

 The Birds have begun to sing....

and I thought that they would be a perfect theme

for a trio of cloches :-)

Spring cannot come soon enough!

In this cloche I hung a beautiful card of caged caneries

I was sure to line the floor with vintage french newsprint

in case there were any accidents :-)

This cloche is simpily a nest with a few real eggs

and a rock that says HOPE

There can never be enough Hope

This last cloche features another nest

(I love bird nests if you hadn't guessed)

For the Fancy Bird

This nest was "built" in an

old silver covered butter dish

Cherub Candlestick

Over the weekend my Sweetheart and I

stopped by an antique store to browse.

And I found this great candlestick holder!

I must have cherubs on the brain:-)

Even better yet he was $8.00 but 40% Off.

Great Deal, Yeah!

So I am all happy, I get him home to notice he is missing a finger :-(

Still O.K.,  He likes to hold things:-)

In the thrill of the find,  I often forget to check the details.

Does this happen to You?

Still with this sweet face, I couldn't be happier!

Today I am joining White Wednesday at

Faded Charm

Penny Postcard Valentines

Happy Valentines Day!

These are just a few Vintage Penny Postcard Valentines.

There is something so sweetly simply about Penny Postcards,

  I always find them hard to resist. 

The back reads:

I send this word

to you my love,

I will always hold true,

As long as you love me,

my love.

I surely will love you.

Jesse

Cards sent in a simple time when strreet addresses were not necessary,

Just a name, town, and state name got it there.

The brief messages make me think of text messages,

 big thoughts abbreviated into small spaces.

The old way was so much more endearing :-)

 

Thanks for stopping by, 

 Hope your Valentines Day is Special!
