Birds of a Feather

 

 

I’m joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday. 

 

Thank you, Susan, for hosting such a fun event & providing dishaholics everywhere with a weekly fix ~

 

 

 

 

 

My inspiration this week came from a new bird dinner plate, bowl and oversized mug I found at Home Goods a couple of weeks ago.

 

 

 

 

I have a weakness for anything bird related. . .

 

 

 

 

This oversized mug would be great for soup or a your Venti size coffee :-)

 

 

 

 

Only one plate was available when I was there, but I didn’t let that stop me :-)

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 And a new nest I acquired after the previous occupants were finished with it. . .

 

 

 

 

 They left it for me as a token of their appreciation, since they no longer needed it~

 

 

 

 

I gingerly watered their nest site~a pot on my porch~  trying to balance the amount of water~enough to prevent the plants from dying so they continued to provide  a camouflaging shelter, but not so much that I would drown these baby birds.

 

It was a tedious, nerve-racking task for a couple of weeks. . .

 

 

 

 

I’m happy to report they survived and developed a fondness for porches. . .

 

 

 

 

Their parting message was. . .

 

 

 

 

“For more tablescape fun, be sure to visit the Porch~”
