CLOSED FOR A WINTER'S BREAK

Bird's Nest is closed until April....looking forward to a 3 month break.  I'll still be stoning birdhouses and sewing, but will be able to have a little time off now and then.  If you need an item, please e-mail, and we'll set up a ship date or time to come to the shop.  Praying you all have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE STARTING THIS WEEK-END

The Christmas Open House will be starting the day after Thanksgiving and all through the next week.   There will be several other vendors there displaying their items too.  One is Cindy Bontrager with several winter banners, large and small, along with barn siding signs and others.  Here's a picture of what she did with some cans.



These could be used for Candle stands, or put some greenery in, or your Christmas cards.      The other vendors will have  homemade soap, handy towels, handmade   baskets, &   christmas tree ornaments.  The dates are Nov. 29 and 30, and Dec. 2-7.  Open each day 9-5 with refreshments served.  Come on out and fill your gift list.  Love to visit with you.



OCTOBER GARAGE SALE FINDS







Went to several Garage sales last week and found several cute things.  This little glider was one of them. 

A gentleman brought some old barn siding garden items too.  They are so neat, and well made.  Several little chair/planters, three garden benches, a coffee bar, and two bookcases. 

Here's a picture of the garden benches.   I'm also including a picture of the garden chair and bookcase.  These pieces are all put together with screws, not nails, so they should hold up well.  See you all soon.             

BIRD'S NEST OPEN ON LABOR DAY 10 - 2

Bird's Nest is planning to be open on Labor day (today), from 10am to 2pm..... I need to be stoning birdhouses again, so better "labor on Labor Day"!  Come on out and visit....would love to see you. 

NEW GLASS BIRD FEEDERS

I'm so excited, a friend showed me how to make these glass bird feeders out of jars and glass bowls.  The ones pictured still need to have holes drilled through the bowl and jar, then a large screw and hanger attached.  They look so pretty, and should be done and in the shop by next week, so come on out and check them out.  See you soon.

Come have tea with me!!  I have the perfect table w/four chairs sitting in the middle of the shop, and the water's hot :)  I've been looking for something like this, and found it at a neighbors garage sale last week.  So exciting when you finally find something you were looking for.  Also have the little black shoes w/hen and chicks started in them.  See you soon.

OPENING APRIL 5 FOR THE SEASON!

THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S TIME TO OPEN SHOP AGAIN!  I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again, and I can't wait to show you all the neat finds from the garage sales I've been going to.  We found a few things in Florida too...I'll be posting pictures soon.  The picture with this post is my granddaughter trying on all the new rings I've been making with old buttons....really fun!

JEWELS

 I was able to get some costume jewely at an auction recently and am having fun going through it all. Even took some "one-only ear-rings" and made them into a ring or two.  Lots of fun to create.  They'll be for sale in the shop when I open in the spring again.  I also found some old, unique buttons and am making them into rings with "bling"! :)
