I was walking through Kohl's a couple
weeks ago and as I was passing
the picture framing department
this birdcage memo holder reached out
and GRABBED me and said,
"BUY ME LADY! I KNOW
YOU HAVE A PLACE FOR ME -
A PLACE TO CALL HOME!
JUST BUY ME LADY... PLEASE!!!"
Well I couldn't just keep walking
after that pitiful plea. ( That would be rude.)
Then I saw it...
a sign that had a halo around it...
50% OFF!!
(Do I hear angels singing?)
And I had a 30% OFF savings if I
used my Kohl's charge... dare I?
The final price would end up being...
about $14.00??
(The whole choir of angels were singing now!)
I didn't give it a second thought -
Come to Mama!!
and into the cart it went.
How could I resist?
Look at how functional it is for
important "notes"...
for photos...
and for keepsakes, recipes & MORE!
(It says so!)
The little bird on top is free to fly
about whenever she wishes.
The birdcage came with a bunch of
wood clothespin clips but I knew I
needed more.
I had purchased a package from Michaels
that had 4 pink clothespins adorned with
rhinestones for $2 a package for another
project. But I wanted more of a challenge.
(Sure... let's make a project out of it instead
of just buying the ready made ones...
sometimes I wonder about myself.)
So I purchased packages of 4 clothespins
for $1 a package and a package of stick on
rhinestones (cheapies) and made a slew of them!
Oh there's nothing more fun than a
quick project with great rewards!
(That's what I keep telling myself.)
VOILA!
(I guess it was worth the effort.)
And so the little birdcage now lives
on my vintage cedar closet door
in my Studio
where it gives me direction
for my day...
and reminds me to stay in touch
with my favorite friends!
Everything is living in harmony
in my little Studio!
Thanks for stopping by to
check out my latest Studio addition!
What's new in YOUR Studio??
We'd love to hear from you!
Blessings & hugs,
Marie & Sherry

Hello Darlin'
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky birdcage to find you! It looks stupendous in your world!!
Love you friend! Thank you for your comment. That isn't my house in the photo, it is a restaurant called the Stillwater Inn. My friend Sharon (standing next to me) and her husband own it. They live in a divine attic space upstairs there.
Hope ALL is well in your world!
