nest


look what ned found today


it had fallen out of a tree.

he knows how i adore bird nests,
but i only collect the ones
i find on the ground
{and the one we found in our christmas tree}

twice i have even wrapped & mailed
bird nests as presents to friends
{who share my fascination & were thrilled}

here are my others...









~ such snug little homes ~

Oh Catie, I share your compassion for these sweet abodes. I have been collecting them for years. i too have mailed to friends ( Va and CC). I have at least a dozen on a tray....love them. I think Ned handing me one would be more sweetness than I could stand. Lucky you!

ohhh this one looks quite tiny! how cute!

i stumble upon 2 nests this summer...one in my front yard and one on my morning walk a week later. i proceeded to "hide" the nest i found on my morning walk so i could come back to get it later. my kids were MORTIFIED when i stopped the car and tiptoed back into someone else's yard to retrieve "my" find. part of the reason i did it while they were in the car is because i knew they would freak out!

i perched them in my planters on either side of my front porch and i am just tickled with them!

how special for ned. have a feeling he will find just the right spot for it ♥
