Return visitor

On April 13th I noticed an old friend's return. Her name is Robin also. She loves to fluff her nest, just like me!

Her nest is here in my spring wreath. She built it last year and when she was finished with it I hung it in the garage. She moved back in and did a little fluffing.On April 15th this is what I found.

Today these little nearly naked babies arrived. They are so adorable! Momma was out hunting worms when I took this picture. I will keep you posted on their progress. Happy hunting! ~Robin~

Some thrills of the hunt

These are some of the treasures I found on the weekend roadtrip.

A wonderful blue hobnail basket.Who can resist handpainted roses? Not I.Someone has amassed some hands. Mr. Wonderful insisted that I needed these! I have more than a few in white but none this color. He knows his sister collects jadeite and " Granny Stellee" will probably end up giving them to her.What do you think Margi?Can you quess what this is? A cigarette holder. Yes! Mr. Wonderful collects smoking items so there may be some debate over who gets this baby. I think it would make the cutest pencil holder.

This sweet little creamer matches two other pieces that I picked up at thrift stores.

This amazing birds nest was found at The Urban Farmhouse. Anything that has to do with birds comes home with Robin.A cute little bird feeder from Polly's booth. You can bet that it will soon be holding robin egg blue buttons.

This is the birdcage stand I found at The Urban Farmhouse. There was a birdcage with it but I had already fufued this one and it fit.This birdcage and stand was already in the other window of the back of our nest. So you see I just had to have one for the other window.Right? A pretty Avon perfumed talc can, Avon matching jewelry, childs' hanky and bingo cards. BINGO!Two beautiful hankies with leaves.Just a few of the buttons that I found on this trip. So many buttons so little time.

This is the last piece I have to show you. What is it you ask?  A wine and glass holder? A condiment or salad dressing caddy? Only time will tell. The wheels are grinding   turning. Someone said it was a croquet stand. Who knows? This also came from Pollys' booth at the Olde shoe factory. Visit Polly's blog http://www.sassafrasstuff.blogspot.com/ . ~Happy hunting~ Robin

Yea! It's snowing!

Yippee! It is snowing again! Tell me why I live in Ohio again? I don't ski.

Enough already. Uncle. Please show me some spring!

I found this beautiful quilt at GW for $2.00. I want to curl up with it and cover up my head until spring.

Beautiful sideways birds. Camera skills? none! Happy hunting! Robin
