Happiness Of Blue Birds

This pretty boy is my latest purchase.

I found him last weekend...

...for a song.

He inspired me to create a couple of

etsy Treasuries today,

I thought you might like to take a look:

from Mary Kahler.

This was one of the wonderful tags

Apologies to Mary.

Birdsong Tag Book Swap

I am participating in the

Birdsong Tag Book Swap

hosted by Karla's Cottage.

The swap is open to everyone.

I think there are still spaces open,

just click the link above.

I chose to make 7 different tags.

I tried to make each unique,

but no matter how I try to think outside the box,

and try new things,

my projects always look like I made them.

Thanks to Kelly and Natalea,

I had fun using a few of the goodies you've sent me in these tags.

Wishing you a lovely song-filled Friday!

What A Treat In The Mail Today!

This beautiful canvas was made by a dear blogging friend and incredibly talented gal. I am so in love with the way it pops on my green dining room wall - just perfect. I fell in love with this piece when I spotted it in her etsy shop, but it is even more beautiful in person - cannot thank you enough, Natalea!

Check out Natalea's blog for a huge giveaway she is having to celebrate her 3 year/500th post blogging anniversary.
