Our weather has been really beautiful - sunshine and nice weather (sorry Most Snowed In Ones! ). Spring is in the air so it was time to let the little birds out!
I made mama bird a little tiny nest in my milk glass footed bowl. This bowl shows up all the time all over the house with flowers or fruit and now birds in it. I do love this bowl! Can you love milk glass footed bowls? You bet your robin's blue eggs you can! :) I didn't have a nest large enough to fit this bowl so I poked in a few little moss balls. She seems to love this ~ just look at that smile! :) I'm wondering if she's trying to pop out some more eggs? Time will tell! :)
As you can see, the baby birds have hatched and are sitting on a couple of olden books. I don't think they're quite ready to fly off yet as they're staying very close to their mama!
Oh, I think I must go sit down and milk my accident with my tiny big toe! :) I'm such a little stinker! :)
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you a little Note Song ~
Snowbird
Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean,
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green.
The snowbird sings the song he always sings,
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring.
When I was young my heart was young then, too.
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do.
But now I feel such emptiness within,
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win.
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue,
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
The breeze along the river seems to say,
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay.
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go,
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow.
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
The one I love forever is untrue,
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
Yeah, if I could I know that I would fly away with you.

ReplyDeleteYour sun porch is lookin good. Those birds are darling. Isn't sunshine the best feeling ever since this long winter.

Those birds are so sweet! So sorry to read about your toe. I know how much that can hurt. A couple of years ago I was stung by a bee on my big toe. Discovered I was allergic to bee stings and my also tiny big toe was swollen for days. Couldn't believe how painful it was. So take good care of yourself. I just became your newest follower. I thought I signed up to follow you long ago. Sorry for the delay!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
That bird cannot have babies...she's not EVEN MARRIED! What will the neighbors think?
ReplyDeleteOh Miss Shelia, I do love your sweet little spring vignette. Thanks for sharing your nesting with all of us.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this beautiful day,
Gail
I hope you're recovering well - love the sweet birds - the chipper one on top looks happy! Love that song - can hear Ann Murray in my head now :)
ReplyDeleteKathy
Such a sweet bird vignette, and I too love milk glass! Hope your toe gets better!!! :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
Hi Shelia!
ReplyDeleteyour little coffee table vignette is so sweet. A breath of fresh Spring air!
Sorry to hear about your bum toe, but it looks like you are keeping your mind off of it by playing with the birds. The Momma in her nest and the babies are just too cute! Hope you are enjoying our Spring weather (although todays a bit grey and gloomy!). Take care and keep them waiting hand and foot on you...you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I am ready for the SPRING!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you toe is getting better. Your birds are sooo sweet. I love the moss rocks!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
It looks lovely! But that toe doesn't..oh my goodness...I have done that too and nothing hurts so much...get it better and take care! ;D
ReplyDeleteI thought of you last night while I was vacuuming my hallway I hung my toe in the cord and almost fell then caught myself and almost fell over the vacuum in the process.....I was lucky. Love your little birds. God Bless Trish
ReplyDeleteSweet Shelia ~ Hope that dainty little toe mends quickly, can't have you laid up for TOO long, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove you vignettes ...
Just wanted to pop by & thank you for your sweet wishes for my husband. He is not out of the woods yet with another surgical procedure in a few weeks again. He is doing fine tho under the circumstances. You truly moved me & for you I am thankful.
Have a beautiful day ~
TTFN ~
Hugs & love,

CSN GIVEAWAY ends 3/17
HI Shelia! So sorry about your booboo...I have a toe joke..
ReplyDeleteYou know what you call when you break your toe?
You call a Toe (Tow) Truck....
BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA....HEY MY dad is a preacher and he told so many jokes over the years...I know thousands! :->
Blessings to you my sweet lady...get better and keep decorating!
Love love those birds, Shelia! What "brand" are they? Is that a silly question? They are great...I'd love to find some like them somewhere!
ReplyDeleteAngela
Your bird looks lovely all nestled in his mossy bed :D
ReplyDeleteYour birdies are so sweet! Spring is in the air in SC, too.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your toe. Sheila, get all the miles you can out of that little mishap. lol
Feel better soon.
You better not lift anything heavier than a bird or you might worsen that toe! The birds are too sweet btw.
ReplyDeleteOh you poor dear! Go put your feet up.
ReplyDeleteI have those same dear birds. Luv 'em.
Happy Fat Tuesday.
Oh Shelia, sorry about your little big toe! Keep your feet up, you did a great job with those little adorable birdies!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Nancy
Hello Sheila, I am so sorry about your toe. It looks very angry at you. It is a blessing you didn't fall. Your toe is telling you in black and blue language to be more careful. Smile.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the new bathroom diva Sares. She is a pretty little thing. You are very serious about the crowning of a new diva. And you definitely give me a good chuckle.
Love the Sentsy and I must say it is a pretty jar too.
I too adore birds. You have placed yours so sweetly. I DO love the milk glass bowl. Milk that toe injury to the limit dear. We girls must grab every moment we can to appear helpless. Smiling here.
Happy Spring and lovely days ahead. We have some spring flowers popping up and then we had 27 degree weather. Not good but expected this time of the year.
Warm hugs and I hope your toe is much better soon.
Love, Jeanne
Shelia, sorry to hear about your toe. I know how that hurts. Take care. Hope it feels better soon. ~ sarah
ReplyDeleteHi, sweet Sheila, thanks for stopping by to say hi! I'm doing pretty good, just busy and lots to do. Hanging in there. God is good and He has been very near and dear to me. I will make it through with His help. Looking forward to getting back home with my family.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, sorry to read about your mishap with the rug. I hope you took that rug out and give it a good beating, lol. Loving your little birdies. You always put a smile on my face :o) Big hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteSweet birdies! Take care of that boo-boo, Shelia!
ReplyDeletexo, Andrea
Good morning, Sheila! I am so sorry to hear about your toe. I won't tell you my toe story, you would probably feel it across the miles.....OUCH< OUCH< OUCH! Your little birds look so sweet and HAPPY! I hope your toe is better SOON! Put your feet up now. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteAh, sweet sister. I love your little birdies - they are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I hope your tiny toe gets better very soon. I'm glad Mr. Precious is taking care of you.♥
Oh noooooo, I hope your toe gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteI have a picture on my Blog of me in the bathroom at with my Mickey Mouse ears on (super sparkley too!) so I was hoping I could be a bathroom Diva too! *giggle* Claudie told me I should submit this so come peek and see if I am worthy!

Love your little white birds! So cheery! Take care of your tootsie!
ReplyDeleteVery precious little birdies in your spring mode. I'm happy your toe is a smidge better, but it does take time, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteLet Mr. Precious wait on poor Little ole you!
Donna
Great minds think alike. I just posted a tablescape inspired by birds! But, I must say that your birds look much happier than mine!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty spring vignette, Shiela. =) I love those moss balls. Every time I go to Michael's they are all gone. I love the stacked books with the birds on top, cute idea! Thanks for sharing! XOXO ~Liz
ReplyDeleteI love your coffee table vignette Shelia.
ReplyDeleteI am encouraging you to take advantage of your big toe mishap whenever possible.;-)
Oh baby, I'm embarrassed to say how many times I've had my little tootsies buddy taped and wore my flippies into the classroom. I tend to move full speed ahead at all times!!!
ReplyDeleteI just adore your little nesters girl.
God bless ya and enjoy your day sweetie!!! :o)
I'm glad to hear your sore toe hasn't kept you from decorating! Love the white birds next to the green moss. It really makes the, pop. Have a great weekend Shelia!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! Glad your weather's nice now, Shelia. It's been spring here too since 3 weeks ago....Christine
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see your toesie is better! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteOur weather has turned again and it's cold and snowing like crazy! When oh when will Sprong pop! : )
Love,
Sue
Ouch! Hope the toe is on the mend. I'm a first-time visitor to your blog...I look forward to stopping back by...would love to have you stop by my blog while you're in blogland.
ReplyDeleteTake care of the toe!
Hi Shelia *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your dear toe is getting better...now be very careful with it.
Lovely vignette with the whiteness and the pretty little birds...spring is in the air over there...only snow in the air here...
Hope you've had a lovely day
Judi
Pretty, pretty birds. Shelia! But I am looking at the fabric on your setee in the background that looks just perfect for me, lol! Thanks for stopping by:-)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and spring-y Miss Shelia. Take care of that toe. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteOh my Oh my...I had to go down and see the story about your toe. NOW THAT looks like one sore toe. I'd be milking that injury if I were you.
ReplyDeletespeaking of milking....I love the white bow and your birdies. So very cute. So very spring (which we don't have yet, still covered in snow)
have a wonderful week....and take care of that toe
How can you go wrong with birdies??!! I sure hope you are feeling better and back to pirouetting very soon!!!! ;}
ReplyDeletem ^..^
I love these new HOLY birds.
ReplyDeleteTake care of that nasty toe!
Hi Shelia, I hope your little birdies are singing sweetly to you so you can forget your troubles! But please, if your toe is not 100 % better soon, please see a podiatrist, as a broken bone is much better than the soft tissue damage that can occur in your foot joints! I am not trying to scare you, but I know from experience that soft tissue damage can occur in that joint and become painful again! I hope you recover fully soon, and in the meantime go ahead and get some attention from your good hubby! Linda
ReplyDeleteHello, Sweet Shelia!
ReplyDeleteI am happy that tiny big toe of yours is coming around. Love the vignettes on your sun porch coffee table. It is getting a little warmer here. Going up to 72 on Saturday! Oh, boy... now begins the outdoor cleanup!
Fun stopping in to see ya!
Beautiful! I love the bird and the basket, great vignette on your porche's coffee table, wish I went there for tea and keep you company until your toe is good....really, hope it is by now!
ReplyDeleteThank you for inviting me, I loved been here!
Have a nice weekend.
