Bird Nest Baby Shoe


There is something so precious about baby shoes ~ I love them and am always on the look out for them at flea markets and thrift stores ~
I found some recently in Kansas and got inspired by Barbara Jean's tutorial to put a precious little bird nest in one ~

How perfect is a nest with spring around the corner ~


You can find it for sale here ~

Katie, we're going over to visit our granddaughter in Washington soon and have a couple of boxes to take over to her for her - OUR GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER!! - and you've just given me an idea. I'm taking over 4 pairs of my baby shoes when I was a baby, sugar. I think Mandy will love having them along with her great-great-great-grandmother's quilts.
xoxo,
Connie

Hi Lori...sorry it took so long to visit you but a trojan knocked my puter out of commission for a couple of weeks. But I'd love to ride to craft night w/ you. I'll send you an email & we'll square away the details.

Hope your show was a huge success! Your daughter was a BEAUTIFUl bride...she looks just like you!
