I had found this abandoned nest in a bush in my backyard. Put some fake robin eggs in it, and had had it in a bowl. Decided to plop it into the branches of our Christmas tree and it couldn't look more at home.
"Our house was not unsentient matter — it had a heart and a soul, and eyes to see with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benedictions. We never came home from an absence that its face did not light up and speak out in eloquent welcome — and we could not enter it unmoved."- Samuel Clemens
I am probably the most content person you'd ever want to meet. I have a decent job working with people I like, a loving family including a swell Old English Sheepdog, a home where nesting and curling up on slipcovered sofas is required, and a life rich in creative crafting and daydreaming. I someday want a cottage at the beach where my grandchildren can bring sandy feet into the house, wet bathing suits can dry on the front porch and everything we need to get to is a bicycle ride away.

Your bird nest is great! I need some eggs to put in my nests on the mantel. Jackie
What a perfect tree decoration! I'd love to have my entire tree covered in those.
