The Shabby Chic Cottage for Transformation Thursday

The little table top I am showing is a floor lamp table. It was a thrift find and needs a little TLC but, that will have to wait until warmer weather. This table sits in the corner of the living room. I just wanted something simple but, Spring-like.

I used one of my cut glass cake plates and added a bunch of Spanish moss to create a nest. Then I tucked a new flower pick in the side. The pick is from the new spring garden accent line at Michael's. The flowers are glass as well as some of the leaves and a few little beads. Then I placed the cute crackled-look creamy yellow chicken on the nest. This chicken is also part of the same line as the flowers. I love all the pretty things from this grouping. I picked up a few other items while I was there today. And the best part, this whole line is 50% off right now! I want to find a pretty soft yellow napkin to put under it.

I know it is just a small little table top decor but, I think it works just right. I have two other pieces that match this yellow bird that I will use on another table. I just REALLY needed to get something Springish going on! LOL

PARTY!!

Oh I love your spring vignette. The bird is just precious. I love the cut out design on it. Clever to put it on a cake plate and the picks are lovely too. I havn't seen their new line, but it is gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining the party. This really does bring a little touch of spring to the room. Hugs, Marty
