Bird on a nest by happypat

Bird on a nest

Just about straight with the packing today. One more day to get organised & seal boxes up!
Long ago when our daughter was very young perhaps around six she saw this bird in a shop window as part of the decor....to cut a long story short the shopkeeper let her have it & it’s been hanging in our house ever since!
I have wrapped it carefully to go with us.
I played around with it & rather like this effect.

Three good things:
1. We have been on a reccy tonight to find where the storage is & where the gate security code machine is!
2. I’m pretty sure quite a lot of the stuff I have picked will be discarded next Spring when
we move into our modern new place! It’s good to decide then in our own good time though.
3. Washable pillows.
Yes I can see why you like it. Love the wacky colours! Thanks for your kind comments on my ginger snaps!

So pretty with your bit of faffing !! -- I can understand why this will go with you . ! Yes its good not to do hasty decisions - better to do the final choosing when you are in the new abode !

@beryl That’s what Cathy says...Hope it all fits in the container!

@busylady It’s very pretty but the ceiling behind the bird didn’t look so good so I had to do a bit of faffing!

Cute - when I read your tale of moving I remember how I thought I wanted to move right after the bout with cancer. I am so happnow I didn't.

A precious wee bird. You are steaming ahead with the packing!

Very cute and just the sort of thing my Mum would treasure too!!!
There's a little ornament on the fireplace in her dining room which I bought for her Birthday when I was 7.....I associate it with being a Brownie somehow....and she wouldn't dump it for any reason!!!

Oh it is beautiful, glad it is going with you. Plenty of time to do a final sort out once you have moved.

It's almost ethereal here - lovely flashes of colour!

@joansmor I came downstairs at 4am & sat by the Aga with a cup of tea & thought how I’m going to miss this house....will be sad! Only moving because this house is far too big for us! You did right to stay put.

@sarah19 Some things can never be replaced....you will treasure it after as you will associate your mum with it & on it goes....

@happypat Yes, i just moved every thing to one floor. I think mine was a response to the cancer. You feel like you will never be yourself again.

This is very attractive and I couldn't stop looking at it. Very hard to move house. My daughter did the same thing you did and has been getting rid of many items which she considers of no use to her in her new house.
