Freebird Nest updates... (and my BIG news!)

My beautiful Freebird nest is already on display
 in my home...

 I have it resting on a towel

that says "the nest"...

~

the towel is draped over a nature journal book

and the book is laying on a tall

glass cake stand.

  All of the reserved nests

have now been purchased.

~

I have now released 5 additional

nests that were made

and are available for purchase

by anyone.

~

You can find them listed

in my ETSY shop

now.
~
(because some of you have asked...
my policy remains always, that you may reserve a nest
and make payments on it.
 I will hold it as long as you wish, 
and ship it to you when you are
 ready.)

~

Wishing everyone a lovely

holiday celebration

with your family and friends.

~

Lots to celebrate here in my world...

my countdown to retirement is ON!!

July 29

will be celebrating

my birthday and retirement!

Introducing the Freebird Nest

The beautiful Freebird nest is here...

 This nest is so special and unique.

The very first Patriotic theme nest in my

"charitable design series".

 I'm so excited (and proud) of this 

lovely new nest.

 My idea for this nest

was to combine vintage Americana, 
and primitive Americana,

with just a bit of

patriotic bling...

How 'bout that stunning little

 gemstone flag?

(and that beautiful rusty star...)

This nest is the perfect accent

for your patriotic holiday decorations...

Memorial Day

July 4th

Labor Day 

 There are so many amazing artists 

in my worldwide circle of friends.

~

I am truly blessed to have friends

who desire to share their creative gifts with me

and participate so generously 
with my charitable
 projects.

~

My friend Pamela Lancaster created

beautiful fabric yo-yo's from 

gorgeous patriotic fabric.

They are fabulous accents in their

beautiful variety of prints.

~

Each nest is embellished with a variety of 

Pamela's miniature fabric creations..

They are absolute Americana 
perfection.
~

Thank you dear Pamela

for all the efforts and time that you

have devoted to the making of these

precious creations.

My friend Karen Bailey

created these beautiful crochet star garlands.

They are a stunning addition to this patriotic nest.

~

The combination of textures on this

 nest is incredible.

These little stars are truly

one of the most beautiful focal points

of the design. 

~

You can find Karen and her stunning creations

on her blog Todolwen

~

Thank you dear Karen

for your amazing contribution.

They are so very beautiful!

 Your nest will arrive beautifully packaged...

as always,

the tissue paper and tags are created 

by my talented friend

Sue Kosec. 

~

SO many of you are collectors of

her amazing bird tags.

THIS one...

is beyond incredible. 

~

Presentation is everything...

and my nests will always

be dressed in the finest of packages!
Only Sue can dress my nests
to perfection!

~

You can find Sue and her

creative card making at her blog

SuzeQCreations

 

These nests are truly a labor of love. 

Their creation is months in the making...

and I cannot do it alone. 

~

My best friend Mary

is also my partner in the making of these

"charitable nests". 

We have both worked diligently for 

many weeks to finish these beautiful nests

in time for your holiday celebrations.

I absolutely could not do this

without her help.

~

She is my everything, every time, 

always, and forever...

friend.

Each nest is a unique 

and individual

creation.

While the basic design is the same,

no two nests are exactly alike.

~

this is what makes them

 so special...  

Every nest is embellished 

with a variety of laces,vintage millinery,

rhinestone accents,

vintage buttons,

the MOST incredible vintage star patch,

and lovely patriotic ribbons.

This Patriotic themed nest

is part of my
 "charitable design series".

~

The charitable proceeds will be donated

locally in my hometown to our ladies group

"Carter County Quilts for Veterans".

~

The goal of this incredible group of ladies

is to make beautiful patriotic theme

"Quilts of Valor"

to present to every retired veteran

 in our town.
They are presented in a
lovely ceremony.

~

I am honored to be able to help

further their efforts

with my donation.

I love this nest.

I am proud of what it represents.

Freedom, faith, honor

~ 

The nests are listed in my ETSY shop now.

For those of you on my RESERVED list...

(you will find your nest listed

 by your first name and last initial)

~

There are currently 7 nests available

that are NOT reserved. 

They are listed as such. 

~

These nests will be mailed immediately upon purchase

and will arrive to you in time for your

patriotic holiday

 celebrations.

Thank you

for your love and support.

The creation of this nest has truly

given me a great and renewed purpose.

That you love my nests

means everything to me...

xoxo

Unbelievably special...
