For those of you who don't know,
the Cottage Charm Giveaway
is just one giveaway of many that will be held
the Cottage Charm Giveaway
is just one giveaway of many that will be held
the entire month of May as part of the blogwide
Last year, there were almost 70 giveaways
added by bloggers by the end of May!
So to see other giveaways added so far this year,
click HERE.
I kept pondering what to give you.
I knew I should give something that I would love,
and here it is.
A demilune wall or table bird cage.
It is 2 1/2 feet tall by 1 1/2 feet wide,
so it is a nicely sized cage!
That opens on the bottom and has a little door on the right side.
See the door?

A Silver Candelabra,
and Three Twig Nests
with Robin's Eggs.

An Assortment of Vintage Postcard Prints from
And some clips from IKEA.
Put it all together and what do you get?
When I found this birdcage at a Church Yard Sale,
it looked like this.

I cleaned her up, and gave her a facelift with
Heirloom White Spray Paint.
And found these pretties for her.
She needs a new home.
I will use random.org and announce the winner on
May 30th!
Blessings to you as you make your home!
it looked like this.
Would you have bought it?
