The apothecary jar was a gift from the family for whom I babysit. I have always wanted one but never actually went ahead and treated myself. I think I may have squealed with delight as I opened the package. With a little shredded vintage sheet music in the bottom of the jar, it made a perfect home for my little nest. I added this happy little bird and some blue eggs to finish off the display. I am so happy with the result. Then as if all my friends got together and discussed a theme this year, my wonderful friend Michele made me this sweet little bottle.
I added a bit of netting across the mantle to soften the look.
The little girls in the picture frame are my Mom and my Aunt holding their Easter baskets. After the mantle was complete I added a few more Spring decorations to my kitchen.
When I was at a local flea market last Summer I picked up the fun vintage egg box. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but I just had to have it. I am so glad I did because here is the result.......
Now you can see why I received "Egg"-actly what I love and why I am so "Egg"-cited for the arrival of Spring!!!

Oh my! All of your little displays are like a breath of spring....and we need that breath. We've been gasping our way through winter. I love what you did with all of the nests, eggs and birds. You have such a nice touch!

I know exactly what you mean. I want spring now! Enough with the winter already. You got the cutest things for your birthday. You must have been a good girl this year. Mimi
Wow, you did have a great birthday! What sweet treasures you received! Love all the nests and the little bird and eggs!!
Mimi, I am swooning over here at the pictures in your post. Not sure which one I love the best, but I think I am leaning towards that one of the cute little bird with the eggs in the apothecary jar. Oh, I wish you could have seen my father's antique one, it always sat on my parents' diningroom table, heavy as only old glass can be! Anyway, side tracked there for a minute! You did a great job with yours. And I love your mantle, and those floral pictures hanging above it! Oh my, I am in love! And best of all your presents, in my opinion, is that DELIGHTFUL birdy candy mold. That one got my heart beating a bit faster. What a treasure!! Enjoy each and every one of your new gifts, you sure have some special people in your life who know just what it is that you like.
Such lovely things that warm the heart. I loved looking at each and every photo. : )
