Most females experience a "nesting instinct" in their life. It's characterized by a strong urge to clean and organize, usually due to expecting an offspring,but not always. We've all seen birds, cats and dogs carefully prepare a place to lay their eggs or have their litter. Last year we had a couple of stubborn Robins that were obsessed with building a nest on top of our fountain! I'm personally past that part of Life, but I'm going to share some unusual NEST ideas. Have any nest stories?

I love those bird nest place card holders!!! Great find.. ok, where they from my dear???
ReplyDeleteThe other day while doing some yard work I came across a hummingbirds nest.. so tiny .. but perfect in every way! And you know me, I saved it for my collection here.
with love,
Olivia
On the twine eggs...I used hot glue gun. It's in the picture, just a bit of it in the back. Squeezed a bit on, burned my fingers, wrapped a bit of twine, repeat. You are probably better with a glue gun than I am and can skip the "burn fingers" part!
ReplyDeleteLoved the last pic-haha! I usually have at least one nest in one of my wall wreaths outdoors, on the house. Have a great day!

Hi Janean, I really do love anything nest related, so needless to say when I was expecting, it was super clean and neat at my place! That nest bed is heavenly... so dreamy!
ReplyDelete:)
Aren't YOU the clever one, throwing in that last one! : ) Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI do love nests though. They make me think of spring and I could use a good dose of spring right now! :)
Love the nests....print is my favorite and the name places.
ReplyDeleteJanean~ ~ I love visiting your blog you really got me going today with that bed with the nest perched on it. It needs a ladder so the sweet little girl that lives there can sit in the nest and DayDream! Wow, as a kid I would have loved that. All I had was my special rock in the woods beside tha house where I went to escape.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of cowboys. .as much as I love the sweet and feminine I adore my man in his jeans and cowboy boots!
Enjoy your day~ ~

I like the Cukcoo's nest most, but the nestbed is also not wrong. Do I like to sleep in it, no! You never know what's in it;)

Isn't it funny how we have come to love nests? I have to try not to buy them when I'm in shops! Yesterday I went to a shop called Klaradal - they have a blog you can check out (Maryland) t sell my cards and jewelry - which I did - then I bought a white ironstone mini plate and bowl - she had the cutest nests!!!! Jennifer
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet the place card holders and I love the nesting bowls. I have a couple bird nest that I have picked up in the yard at different times.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite nesting place in on my covered deck with lots of quilts in the morning before the sun is up, Quiet time.
So funny...I just posted about this too...though I am expecting soon, so most of my nesting is due to that! I love that beautiful bed featured on top! So lovely!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Grace
Your posts just get better and better. I love coming here...these pictures are gorgeous! Hugs, andrea
ReplyDeleteLOL loved all the pictures but the last one was the best! Hello Janean...I hope you're having a wonderful morning. When we lived in the city we had hanging planters with geraniums, ivy etc on our front porch. One day a dove came and started making a nest amongst the flowers...it wasn't much of a nest...just a few sticks but she laid 3 eggs and two hatched! We got to see them grow but never did see them fly away. The next year they did the same thing in the other hanging planter. I took pictures and one day I'll post them. Enjoy the rest of your day! Take care..Maura
ReplyDeleteoh that bed is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLoved that top nest! I did this the weekend I had a baby...wall papered, cooked a HUGE dinner, invited family...went to the hospital and had the baby, they stayed and had dinner!!! Come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteGood morning,
ReplyDeleteI love nests especially in the spring. The birds nest with the eggs is really pretty and the card holders are cute! I'm a "nester" when I'm expecting... I want everything to be perfect when the baby arrives. LOL! But it never is perfect. That's life!
Have a great day.
Jackie
Gorgeous post Janean! beautiful pictures full of Spring promise. I love the little place card nests, super idea and love that green! Margaret
ReplyDeleteI love nests, and have several decorative ones throughout my house. I do have to say I wasn't taken with the bed - just a bit much for my tastes, but . . . to each his/her own!
ReplyDeleteAnd loved the cuckoo's nest pic!
Hi .............i must much so laughing about the last photo !!
ReplyDeletei lie in a indentation!!!!
Ooooo i 'am so happy now !! thanks !!!
Hugs from me..........
Love birds, love nests...I try to put them in my jewelry. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, love all of the nest stuff! A friend of mine is always finding actual bird nests (abandoned of course) and bringing them inside to decorate with. My luck is not so good...the only real one I've ever found was infested with spiders and let's just say the birds that had lived there weren't the best housekeepers, it was the messiest nest you can imagine, lol!
ReplyDeleteBut I did admire their "twig work"
:-)
Love the nest bed and the bird nest with the blue eggs, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do not have children, I have always been a nester. I love to watch my little girl cat (who has never has little ones either) nest. She is so good at it!
Thank you for stopping by 504 Main. It must be fate...I just finished my egg project - I have a new found love for eggs, birds, and nests. I think these nests are divine. I would love to sleep on that first bed and then everything else is so wonderful too. Beautiful post.
