Spring is for the birds!
Happy Spring!!
It’s Springtime at the Hepworth House and I’ve been painting and crafting like crazy trying to get ready for it.
I bought this stand and wooden box as a set at Gwill for $1.99.
(I showed you it mid March in Keepin’ Myself Busy.)
I am using the wooden planter for another in-progress Spring project, so I was left with just the frame. I totally lucked out and found this platter at Wal-Mart on clearance. I bought it and prayed it would fit.
(It fits!)
Part one of this post is a success!! Now for part two…
I am jumping on the Dollar Store bird-wagon!
Aren’t they just adorable? Well, the shape at least (not the color)?!
A little Heirloom White spray paint later…
So now I have this stand and these birds… hmmmm…
I decided to “kill two birds with one…” Wait. That is not an appropriate phrase for this, is it?
Throw in a little moss…
Chirp. Chirp.
Happy Spring!
Check back tomorrow for a fun Spring vinyl project!!!

This is my first time visiting your blog and I totally love it! I love the crafts, your sense of humor, the bargains you score, EVERYTHING!
Congratulations on a great blog, I shall return often.
Greetings from Mexico
How Cute!
I love getting deals like that at Goodwill- I don’t get there as often as I’d like, but I love making something better from what was someone else’s “junk”. I love the white color for the birds and the moss just makes it perfect. You have a great eye!
You did a great job! It is very creative and looks lovely.
Adorable!! Love the birds! I would have walked right by them I think. Well spotted.

You gotta love it when things just fall into place! It is so sweet. I love it.
Very cute! I was thinking that you were going to stand the platter up in the base!
so cute! everywhere i go i look for stuff i can spray paint white!
How lovely. Be blessed. Cindy
Oh, you are good! Very very Good!
That is adorable! I can’t believe the luck, that the plate fit on the metal thingy. Love the look. And the birds, I love knowing you can spray paint them and they look great. What can’t you spray paint, right?

Great Idea! thank you! smiles.
So cute! My dollar store doesn’t have such cute animals… I’m jealous! *lol*
Oh that is soooo cute. . . I may have to steal this idea
Love it. You’re turning me into a Goodwill Shopoholic!
that looks fantastic! love how the little birds turned out!
Allison, you’ve done it again. This is super cute. I have a few of those dollar store birds lying around. They’re too sweet to pass up for a buck.
I would never believed in a million years that those birds could look so classy. I love this. You keep me coming back always looking for all the awesome projects you do.
I absolutely love these! They are really great!
WOW! Those birds are quite the transformation… I really need to start looking at things with your eyes!
Thanks for linking up with Sugar & Spice.
This is so pretty.
Thank you for linking this to A Little Craft Therapy, with Life in the Pitts.
Sigh! I love this. The sigh is because my Dollar Tree doesn’t have those birds and I’ve been coveting everyone else’s. Covet covet covet. So there. LOL!
I love what u did with the neat birds. Birds and all the stuff goes
with them I love, Birdbaths, Nests,bird houses Etc.
Love it! I can’t find them anywhere. Your whole creation is wonderful.
For some reason my comment keeps coming back because it thinks I’m spam!
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for joining Flaunt it Friday… that is darling!!
You are so funny! I know that “everyone” is doing the dollar tree bird thing, but who can resist a cute, cheap bird!?! They look awesome and I love your set up!
