Seeing that it is Fall I thought I would add a touch of the season to the den. Sorry for the color of these photos, something hokey is happening with my camera!
I gathered my fall cloche printed with bumble bees, sunflowers, and butterflies...
During the summer months I often find birds nests and butterflies in the garden. Often I find butterflies being blown by the wind across my courtyard. They look pristine, so it is hard to imagine why they didn't make it? The saddest is when the nest has eggs and the mother never returns to them. It seems a shame to just pass them by so I place them in the cupboard on our screened porch.
Have you ever found a nest with eggs but notice that you never see the mother bird? To find out if she is returning to the nest you can gently place a bit of thread across the nest from one side to the other and then walk away. Come back and check the thread the next day, or two, or three and if the thread remains in the same place you left it then you know that something has happened to the mother bird and she isn't returning to the nest.
It is so interesting to see what birds use to make their nests. There is paper, plastic, hair, moss, and the list goes on and on...
I thought these may be nice to use in the sunflower cloche.
Only one nest will fit inside the cloche so I will use this one...
This butterfly is printed on the back of the cloche...
After placing the cloche in the den I realized the sunflower printed on it was hiding the nest and butterflies on the inside...
So I moved it to the kitchen table and gathered these ceramic pilgrims and a candle vase...
and some fall leaves, a sunflowers flower with bittersweet, acorns, and pumpkins...
A touch of fall in the den.
Guess what? This is the last Fall that I will be placing vignettes in this den because
this room will soon be my NEW kitchen, yippeee!!!
Ellie-Mae has been sitting on her pillow watching me switch this and swap that!
She says to tell you Hi!
If you'd like to take a peek, here's another vignette of Fall & Spring Cloche's
