For the Birds

Matthew 6:26

This was fun to put together, I had everything, I just needed to gather it all, and paint the sign.


I had an idea of what I wanted, I just needed to find the perfect spot, and play with it a bit.


I had the old weather board in my "stash" I added a light yellow wash (watered down paint) then stenciled the words, I used 2 different size Stencils, I wanted to emphasise the "BIRDS"


I had picked up the old rusty tool box at the Church Rummage Sale, and thought it would be cute to use as a bird feeder. I added an old pair of garden sheers.


The birdcage I painted to use on my Spring Mantel, I love the aqua color, the little bird on the door, I've had for years, it was from the Dollar Store

I did pick up some pink impatience


Of course I had to get one of my rusty Bed Springs in here!


The metal words (Live, Love, Laugh) I've had for ages, and I've never hung them, I think they look cute with this display


The clay pots were also painted and aged to use on my Spring Mantel


Donna over at FJI is having a "Bird" Party, which inspired me to put this all together, she is a wonderful inspiration! and a wonderful Hostess

    Lorrie thanks so much for dropping by my blog. I am thrilled to have you as a new follower.
    Your bird arrangement is fabulous and just in time to give me some inspiration, tomorrow I am putting together a vingette in my garden. I would love to pin it to my board but I don't know how. Well I am off to become your newest follower and check out some more of your posts before I fall asleep.

    I love it, Lorrie! I especially love your "for the birds" sign! Great way to use the ladder, too. I saw so many of those at the antique mall a few weeks ago; they make for such great vertical decoration, apparently, outside, too!

    This is the cutest display! I love the birdhouse with the little feeder attached. I also love the tool box idea, but I couldn't use that at my house. I'd be inviting every squirrel in the city to come have breakfast. Eeks! I love birds, so I love seeing this adorable idea.

    This is quite the elaborate bird feeder (or should I say bird restaurant?). You really have that knack for putting things together and this is as attractive to humans as well as birds! Thanks for visiting my blog!

    This is definitely not for the birds! What a fun way to treat all your featured friends - hopefully they don't have to battle any squirrels for this treat!

    It looks like it grew from the tree - it just belongs!

    Thanks for joining our Outdoors party.

    Now I know what I want to do with my precious dad's rusty, old tool box. He and his mom took such delight in feeding their "babies" (birds) and Mother loved all-things flowers. Lovely, lovely, lovely ideas.
