The Bird Houses

A while back I posted that I was going to take the birdhouses from the top of my cupboards and find them a new home, as I wanted that space to display my Depression Glass Collection.   Many of you made suggestions how to display the bird houses, and many of you wanted to see my Depression Glass.


So here goes..............

I coated the birdhouses with outdoor varnish, hoping to preserve them.  My dad made the little houses, and I painted them to resemble a little village.  They are now residing on our deck, to greet everyone that comes to visit.
Aren't they cute?

I like the way the Depression Glass looks above my cupboards.  The pieces should be safe from any harm way up there.




And that's the way it is..............................

  13. Great idea! The depression glass is beautiful and looks perfect up there. I love the bird houses too. Isn't it fun when you find new places for something you've had for a long time and it now looks like you have something brand new again.

  14. Adorable bird houses. A friend had a collection that she displayed in her yard. Each was m ounted on a post of varying heights. They were clustered in a flower bed next to the deck with an ivy covered fence behind them. I always envied her collection,
