I really don't have to walk very far at all
from my back door
to find these amazing birds' nests!
There are so many different bird species on our property
but I particularly love to collect the nests made by
the Willy Wag Tails
and the Red Browed Fire tails
(little finches)
because they are so tiny and delicately created.
The nest above also incorporates the fluff
from the puppy clippings
because it makes the
perfectly soft lining
for a nest!
The bells have taken on a rusty patina
just by living out in the garden
room over the many
years
and
even still with a sweet ring to the ear.
Just wanted to share a few vintage images I have collected
along the way
and this Swallow's nest
from The Graphics Fairy
along with this beautiful graphic
and from The Feathered Nest
this poster
I'm linking today to Blissful Whites Wednesday
along with my gratitude for your lovely comments
that you leave when you visit me here!
Love and hugs dear friends,
Suzy xxx
I love so much nests too! I keep some I find in my garden!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture from Graphic Fairy with swallows!
Hugs and kisses
I really love those graphics. We also have many birds in our back yard. We live next to a large cow pasture and our neighbors have many bird feeders. We see Eagles flying over from time to time; and have a particularly beautiful Painted Bunting. I even did a fiber wall art about him. "Out on a Limb." Nature is so wonderful for artists.
ReplyDeleteall so lovely-Happy Easter Suzy
ReplyDeleteYour finches are beautiful and even more so your displays. Lucky you to have so many gorgeous birds about. xox
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone resist a bird with the name willy wag tail!
ReplyDeleteDear Suzy - I just love the nests and the way you have organized them with the lovely bells and feathers.
ReplyDeleteAll the best - Bettina
What a beautiful post! I wish you and yours a wonderful Easter too!
ReplyDeleteSO pretty! This makes me want to go get out my nest. I kept it on the table under glass until one of my "friends" made a face and wrinkled her nose at it -- because she thought it was "dirty"!! (Weirdo!!)
ReplyDeleteLoving your nests. Such a lovely way to display them in all their glory.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful bird nest finds! I am just crazy about wild birds and love to watch them at our feeders. We don't have many varieties here where I live, so I was especially delighted to see the photos of the 2 beautiful birds on your post!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty nests.
ReplyDeleteWe live on a "Wildlife Protected" property. We only have about 8 acres however every type of bird and animal seems to congregate here...lol.
We have tons of bird houses with little nests and for some reason they like to take up residence on top of the utility armoire on one of the carports :-)
Happy Crafting

ReplyDeleteA Blessed Easter to you too !!

ReplyDeleteHello my dear Suzy, It's wonderful that you can find those lovely creations of nature in your backyard. The nests make such a beautiful decoration along with the eggs, feathers and the pretty bells. I also adore your pitchers and the canister with the text.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Easter, sweetie!
Sending big hugs and love,

oh what really darling nests Suzi!! How lucky for you to find such lovlies in your back yard. We tend to have lots of birds but alas not many nests-prob. because of our dog. BTW, love how you use your pup's clippings-it does remind you of the fluff of a shedding fledgling:) Hppy Easter to you too!
ReplyDeleteI adore this post! I am momma bird feed in our yard, lol. The birds were singing so loud this past weekend, telling us their stories of winter.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you Suzy! xo Rhonda
How amazing to have these birds nests just outside your door. You have made such a beautiful display with them, so perfect for Easter time. Happy Easter to you. Jayne x
ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful nests and bird visitors Suzi! Your displays are equally as gorgeous! I love birds so much myself, and the graphics you have are amazing! You might find it intersting to know that the last graphic you show, the Agricultural piece, is something I have! I bought it at a flea market, there were many issues, and mine is also very old. Lancaster is about 2 hours away from where I live!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Oh my such lovely little bird nests and how sweet that you are able to save them after they have served their purpose to the birds. I am glad you showed your patinated bells as I thought they might be little metal bee hive molds. Easter Blessings and Happy Hopping...
ReplyDeleteLoving your nests, so so sweet they are. do have a lovely easter
ReplyDeleteYour nests are so pretty Suzy - and your display too. To be able to find these beauties in your backyard - how cool is that
ReplyDeleteHi Suzy,
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely inspiration for springtime and Easter. I love your gorgeous nests found right in your yard. That makes them so special.
Love your wonderful patinaed bells too. They are the perfect accent in your display.
Wishing you a special Easter weekend filled with many blessings.

So pretty! Love the swallow graphic - I grew up on a farm and we had both tree swallows and barn swallows. Now we live in town and I don't see them very often.
