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,
and primitive Americana,
with just a bit of
patriotic bling...
How 'bout that stunning little
gemstone flag?

This nest is the perfect accent
for your patriotic holiday decorations...
