Springtime and Birdcages!

As we are approaching March, I'm slowly but surely getting out my spring decorations. This past year we found a way to utilize the birdcage we had from our wedding in a very unique way!  It makes me happy that it's not in storage anymore…just sitting and collecting dust!

 

As you can see this is how we had it decorated for winter:

We like to keep things just a bit simple, just a snow covered wreath on the bottom of the cage with an antique jar holding flowers.

  

For springtime with Easter in mind, I decided to put our family nest into the birdcage, and add some eggs all around.  At the bottom of the cage is crafting moss!  

Such a quick and simple update for our sofa table!  Here is the before and after:

Tree Time with my girls

To get ready for Easter we have been *trying* to hollow out eggs so we can do an Easter Wreath!  While that is still in the making at this time, my girls and I went outside a few weeks back and collected some branches so we could make an Easter Egg Tree.  To hold the branches in place we used Floral Foam and place that into out decorative container.  We went to the store and bought some of those Styrofoam eggs and put push pins thru them with some ribbon so they could hang! To finish it off we topped it with recycled Easter Grass!  This was a simple and fun craft to do with my girls.  They really love the way the 'tree' looks!

Hope you enjoy!
