I just love nests! I found this little birdcage at the thrift store for $1 the other day. I spray painted it, added a little nest and some circle stickers. It looks great with my nesting mantle.
I am linking this up to Beth @ The Stories of A to Z’s wonderful

Have a Great Day!
It’s the first day of Spring Break for us today and we’ve had about 6 inches of now – gah!!!
And, if you are in the Utah area, DownEast outfitters is having a huge sidewalk sale at their Layton store — starting tomorrow. With 90% off many things! Check it out if you can!
XOXO
These are all so adorable!
Love the bird cage. I love all the cute decorations. 🙂
So much better in black!! 🙂
I recently came across your blog and love your projects!
I’m wondering if you’ve ever heard of Rub ‘n Buff? This is a product my company markets. It’s made of carnuba wax and comes in a variety of colors, although the most popular are metallic silver and gold. It’s used on jewelry, crafts, home décor, furniture, chandeliers. I’ve seen a lot of great transformations. If you’d be interested in trying and commenting about it I’d be happy to forward some samples to you.
thanks
Great ideas, as always! I'm realizing the only "nesting" I do is when I'm pregnant! Maybe it's time to broaden my horizons a little! 😉 lol!
Love the dots you added to your birdcage and what a great deal!
Manuela
You paid only a dollar for that bird cage? Talk about a BARGAIN!!! I love it, Jen…and what you've done with it! You have yourself a GREAT day, too, and a Blessed Easter!
Loving your birdcage! Thanks for showing off all of the other beautiful "nests" you have found.
LOVE it all! Thoose framed nests are just too cute…I need to copy that one.
I'm totally jealous of your $1 birdcage. I sooooooo wish we had DI in the south!

ahhhhhh you featured me!! I think i shreaked out loud i was so excited thank you so much!!! of course you found the best deal on a birdcage hello? yours is amazing
I love that bird picture you have in the background. I always try to find good stuff at my thrift stores but it seems like the treasure is always taken… I will have to keep searching 🙂
Awesome decor!
Cute birdcage! I love the circle stickers…make it seem contemporary! I think I need to work on my thrift store skills:)
Our thrift stores aren't that thrifty. 🙁
I have some nests and some eggs and I haven't done anything yet. Now I have some inspiration!
1 DOLLAR birdcage! That is CRAZY here our thrift shops would charge at least 5… Ugh… Love all the decor!
So many great photos… thanks for sharing! Your birdcage turned out great, and just in time for your spring mantel, lucky you! Theresa
CUTE! I recently found a bird cage for $1 too! It was the same sort of barn red. I thought I liked it red and left it but now that I see your black, I may just have to paint mine too. I love all your nesting items. So fun.
Donna
Love your bird cage find. I have got to get me one of those! I have the perfect corner for one too.
Thank you for visiting my little blog. I could not beleive that it was really you! I even had the bitty one pinch me really hard. It was really hard too. I just feel so honored. Thanks for making my day!
I love this idea! Now I'll be on the lookout for birdcages!
Looks really good! The black makes it look classy. I love it!
Jenn
I love these! They are all so Spring-y!
Birdcages are also such fun! Your updated version is adorable. Wonderful job.
What a fun surprise to see me on here! I think I would have taken a better picture if I thought it would be on here.
I bought a birdcage very similar to that at K-mart this morning…on sale! I think we're on the same track of thinking!
So pretty!! Perfect for spring. And now I'm going to be on the hunt for a bird cage. That looks really great!
Blessings-
Sarah
Love the birdcage!!! I look forward to every season and holiday that rolls around to see what you are going to come up with 🙂 Thanks for the tip about DownEast…I will be there for sure! Love their stuff!
Love your birdcage!!!! I want to get one, but haven't found the one that is screaming buy me. Cute nests too, all of them!!! Your mantel is darling. Hugs, Jenn
I Love your birdcage, especially painted black. Sweet vignette too! Thanks for showing my Nest Centerpiece and Candlestick Nests. You're so sweet. Are you as tired of being covered in snow as I am? Thanks for the heads up about the Downeast Layton store sale. I'm in Syracuse so unless there's a blizzard tomorrow I'll make it over there.
I love it! I tried the natural egg dyes and totally failed 🙁 I don't know if it's our chickens' eggs or what, but there was definitely a malfunction 😉 I want a mantle!!!!
What a cute birdcage, Jen! Love it black, too! Your whole display is really pretty. Love the little nests and eggs you've tucked in here!
i just KNOW this post was meant for me. 🙂
I'm in full on nesting mode at home, and am in LOVE with all things bird/nests/etc. How ironic!
🙂 love what you have done!
I love bird cages! I passed one up at Tai Pan a few weeks ago and I've not been able to get it out of my mind.
Yay! So glad you joined the party and with nothing short of something fantastic of course. $1??? You seriously scored on that birdcage. Your redo and vignette looks beautiful. I also love looking at everyone's nests in one collective place :).
i swear i havent seen one-NOT ONE-birdcage at any thrift store! utah must have a 'no bird cage' donation policy…
love yours though
