A Winter Farmhouse...

First, I want to wish Felicia (www.bluemartinhouse.blogspot.com)
a very
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
(((i love you my friend)))
~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~::~
just a couple of photos to brighten your day....

abandoned bird's nests in an old ironstone tureen ~


a vintage tobacco trade card & early photo
nestled in milk-glass flower frogs ~


...more abandoned bird's nests ~
(I find so many here in our woods)


a Winter mantle-scape...
...how do you decorate your mantle?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm working on the 2nd sewing needful pattern today,
hoping to have it finished by this evening,
then on to the 3rd...
look for new needle punch designs too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AND

I have added a new section to my Etsy shop
(http://www.notforgottenfarm.etsy.com/)
called
' vintage farmhouse '
where I'll be offering vintage & early items
gleaned from my collections and favorite shops...
right now I have three of by beautiful pillows available,
made with all Antique Buttins and Millinery Flowers...

Hoping you all have a great
1st Monday of 2011 ~


Blessings from the farm,
~ Lori ~

I so love your winter decor,the birds nests look so good in the old ironstone. I have but one nest I found, not too many to be had in my neck of the woods.
